Menopause Support Group
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.
Hi everyone, I'm new to the group. Hope you are looking forward to the weekend. Right now the worst of the symptoms are hot flashes, night sweats, memory fogginess and not handling pressure as well as I used to. I was surprised to learn there are so many symptoms and yet glad that it meant there was a reason I felt this way
I have SO many symptoms. 44 at last count.
Anxiety is my worst symptom yet. And feeling detached from my loved ones, my life, my home, my cat and even feel detached from myself.
There is more to menopause than night sweats and hot flashes.
I am having acupuncture treatment twice a week and taking an herbal adrenal support supplement.
Both are helping me.
The acupuncture has really helped with anxiety, sleep issues, crying jags, night sweats, hot and cold flashes, confusion, brain fog and many other symptoms. The supplement is helping too.
Acupuncture and herbs take a little longer than Western medicine but I felt much better after the 3rd treatment.
There is another menopause site that I go to that is more active than this one. It is Patient Info.
There are a lot of posts and replies over there.
Hope you find relief soon.
Oh, my weirdest symptoms... Hearing loss, thumping & ringing in my ears, clearing of my throat, feeling like I am swallowing past a lump and loss of sense of smell and taste then restoration of sense of smell and taste.
