I'm post menopause by 3.5 years and wondered if anyone on this forum has been longer ? I read all your posts and every single symptoms you discuss I experienced while in Peri but never knew it was menopause until I came onto this forum and it was never mentioned to me as I went to see every specialist for all my complaints over the years. I'm still experiencing some hot flushes and anxiety sickness and electric shocks panic attacks etc. So basically what I was asking is do all the symptoms ever go or do we just get used to living with them?
On a lighter note the symptoms a lot of you are experiencing now do improve as to be fair I'm nowhere near as bad as I was in Peri. I have had so many tests medication not HRT so if anyone has any questions I can help with please ask xxxxxxxxx
Yes I am post menopause have been for a few months, but gee wiz I am suffering real bad motion sickness feeling and hot flushes I am wondering if I am sane. Currently taking Premia 2.5 but it does not seem to be working fully in ridding my hot flushes. If you have any suggestion I would love to hear them please. Thankyou xx
I had that really bad and struggled to even lay down the doctors referred me to ENT department and said it was vertigo but it's a bit of a coincidence that most have it in peri so it could be something that you could look into. I took car sickness tabs to help with balance problems and diazepam when it got really bad as it starts off panic attacks when I lost my balance. Try the motion sickness tabs Hun xx
Thanks cazjaz, but I am not sure how they go with HRT...would rather wait to see what my doctors advises in two weeks cant get an earlier appoitment all booked up....sad. I will just keep soldiering on as all of us women do. Thanks for your quick reply. xx
😠Always ask a pharmacist if you can mix medication as they know more than the actual doctors Hun and you can buy the motion sickness tabs over the counter. Awesome about the 10 year flushing just another 7.5 years to go still then 😂😂
I just always worry about my weight more than anything. I still have a good appetite but seems I've lost a bunch of weight in my upper body like arms and shoulders and legs too, but my abdominal and butt are bit bigger. Like slk my weight is shifting. Last year I was so heavy and couldn't lose it if I tried, and hot flashes. Now just night sweats, weight loss and some bouts with anxiety and mood swing, and occasional IBS issues. I always think I have cancer somewhere, but I have been tested for everything in my lower extremities and my thyroid too. All normal. Just have slight gastritis they said, but my stomach never hurts. Just wish someone can convince me your weight loss is from perimenopause. Just skipped 2 mos. from having my period so maybe I am heading towards regular menopause. Then again last year went 9 mos. without it then got it again in the Summer. So weird all these body changes. Wish the madness would end.
I had a period last month after 3.5 years and going to the hospital tomorrow as the doctors says it needs to be investigated so I dunno but they do say your not in the menopause till you skip a whole year it's really hard to get to grips with this whole menopause thing I only realised all the illness I had and kept going to the doctors with was menopausal and not once did the doctors mention that M word. I have put on a lot of weight with the menopause I have heard it can go either way put on or loose xx
Sorry to hear about your problem, best wishes for your stay hope you get some answers that will put you at ease. I was just thinking about my problem and it crossed my mind, I could be suffering from something totally different as I am post menopause. Gee wiz I am not a doctor but know my body and it is not right. Tried to get early appointment but failed so have to wait 2 weeks. Once again all the best and keep us posted. Good Luck stay calm and enjoy hospital food. xxx

Hi i am post menopause and i have been experincing it really badly anxiety, mood swings, feeling hot, acid reflux, stomach issues, sleep problems i just want it to go away too i don't know how much longer i can take with these symptoms
Not for the stomach issues, I do take pepcid for acid reflux, i take lorazapam for anxieties, but its the sleep that is getting to me its just hard to fall asleep and stay asleep and i have a part time job it seems like i am walking over my two feet when i can't sleep
no i have'nt tried the pillow but i will anything to relieve this shoulder i have been going through the anxiety for awhile now then the other day i made the mistake of having a cup of coffee and a cig before i went into doc's and of course it made the blood pressure go up a little and i got nervous and anxiety went throught the roof never knew coffee makes your blood pressure rise up so i wont make that istake again drinking coffee before going into doc office
