Early onset of dementia feeling
Fear, Fear, Fear....pain, pain, painnnn
I agree with you and this transition period is a nightmare. My additional comment is that many of these symptoms are classified as uncommon and when you talk to doctors they don’t consider them at all. This what is happening to me now because someone thinks I am crazy and I am able to get any relief
I am in post menopause and i started HRT in April - many of my symptoms have gone away but i am ill every single day . I dont have all these every day but it is something EVERY SINGLE DAY . its a struggle sometimes I wonder if it is worth it at all.

awful taste in my mouth
ears running with wax or popping
heavy itchy eyes
itchy perineum
anxiety
sore knees
nausea
sensitive teeth
frustration
mood swings ( every 45 seconds)
