Wow! This is awesome. Thank you so much! Saw it after I posted!

OMG that sounds horrible. :O I'm you with you Kaylish, I'm back as a tall dark handsome man with NO signs of feminity. :| Just reading those symptoms gave me HOT flash. :O

*bump*

Thank you for the link!

K9-Thank you for the website.I, too, am going to have my husband read it.[see, this is legit!!]But also want to mail it to my OBGYN, bc truthfully, I do not think a lot of doctors REALLY know what we are going thru.

This list is great, but there is one symptom not on there:anger, and sometimes rage

Oh yes... the rages are SO much fun.

They're on this list, which I was made aware of first with this unpleasant female journey:

I have them BOTH bookmarked now, LOL! Try and tell me it's all in my head or I'm too young? HERE, READ THESE! TWO, count 'em TWO sources!

MWAA HAH HAH HAH HAAAA...

Sorry, got carried away there...

Has anybody read, "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom" by Christiane Northrup, M.D.?? I recommend it. She was on Oprah and someone recommended it to me. I think it has some good info in it.

I am only 41, I had everything taken out ten years ago and I have had at least 3/4 of those symptoms for the past 6 years. How long must we go thru this. sometimes i jus don't know if i can handle all this anymore.

shadeofblue-we are women and we can get through anything. I know this menopause/perimenopaus is a trip, but make sure that you have a good doctor that is willing to help you with the symptoms that you are dealing with. Sometimes it takes them longer to figure things out. I have the 35 symptoms list on my refigerator, my office, my husband has a copy and all of my doctors. I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I am not crazy. DebbT.

Thanks so much for this post. When I looked at the list I was amazed at the number of things I was suffer with -- which I had not associated to pre-Menopause!! I though it was just me falling apart. My mother died when I was young, and my sister came from a generation where they are uncomfortable to talk about such things. The only thing I do know about my sister was that when she tried hormones for menopause she ended up in the hospital with blood clots in her lungs. Would the bio-identical hormones have the same risk? I am thinking why suffer with this long list of things if something can be done? I often wonder how long my husband will stay with me because the mood swings this has involved. I have felt so tired and angry lately. Would love to hear any advice!

Since I am new to this site, maybe this question has already been answered. Here goes anyway -- Do some or most of these "35 Symptoms of Menopause" go away after you have gone through Menopause? Sorry, I have no family, and I am an older mother of 2 young kids -- all my friends are 7 to 10 years younger than me and they act like I have a dreaded disease when I talk about Menopause!

Hormones that are given at Menopause are basically BIRTH CONTROL PILL. If you read the warnings on the pill.. blood clots are one of the possible side effects.
In my menopause, I took herbal remedies and only tooke the pill for three months when my period wouldn't stop. Other than that I have gotten through menopause fairly unscathed. The sweats are manageable. The mood swings are helped by the herbal remedies and anti depressent medication. The hotflashes are managed by breathing and some self hypnosis. Personally, I don't want any synthetic hormones in my body for any longer than nessessary.
I have been done with my period for 3 years. Feel free to write me directly for more information if you wish.

To answer the question; The symptoms may or may not stop after your period does. At the very least they reduce intensity.

Thankyou!
