menopause/libido

I am forgetful. I am fatigued. My perception is off. When asked a question sometimes I know in my mind what to say, but then the wrong answer comes out my mouth, i.e. "is the elevator going up or down" I would say going down, but in my mind I knew it was going up and that is what I thought I was saying until it comes out of my mouth as opposite. ...

I'm 46 and I think it's too early for full menopause, but can you start going into premenopause much sooner? What's the average age for that? The reason I ask is that for the past year, I've been having some weird symptoms and am just now wondering if it has anything to do with hormones/menopause symptoms; the worst of which was an episode where I woke up with the room spinning around me. It was terrifying. Then right afterwards I got really nau ...

I swear, about every 3-4 weeks or so, that's what it feels like. In the exact same location, feels the same way, and I haven't had a period in almost a year but these cramps seem to come on regularly. All original parts intact, nothing removed. What a pain, no pun intended. ...

I guess it's time... Menopause is knock knock knocking on my door. I cannot believe the symptoms that come along with this! Hot flashes are bad enough, but dry skin, I don't heal like I used to and now a little cut or scrape will be a dark scar, unpredicable periods, dry mouth, fatigue and mood swings! Forgetfulness, can't concentrate... The worst has got to be the fatigue. I can't wake up in the mornings, but I can't fall to sleep at night!& ...

Does anyone have any advice for treating insomnia related to menopause? This is the second night I haven't been able to sleep at all and it is getting very frustrating!! I have been taking melatonin but it is not helping at all. TIA! ...

Has anyone noticed their depression becoming worse when going through menopause? I am currently going through a major depressive episode and was reading something the other day about postmenopausal depression. I have been going through menopause and was just curious about this. TIA! ...

I'd appreciate any insight: I have recently developed pain in my nither region. I thought yeast infection, got an OTC treatment with no relief. Made an appointment with my doc, but got a clean bill of health. The pain persists, doc ordered tests, ultrasound, all normal. He thinks dryness or perhaps the beginning of atrophy, said we could try hormones but I haven't decided on that. Has anyone ever had this? It's not excruciating, but it does hurt, like I got a hefty kic ...

though they are erratic, usually about 3 months apart at this point. I feel like I am losing my mind....had an episode of vertigo a few weeks ago followed by extreme anxiety and nausea, wound up in the ER (and if you knew me you'd know I wouldn't even think of going unless I thought I were dying)....they found nothing wrong, sent me home on meclizine, which does nothing. I still have this weird anxious/dizzy feeling that usually builds up over the day, getting worse until I ...

Has anyone used Wild Yam for menopausal dryness and did not work or has anyone used Estrace Cream? Thanks so much! ...

I found out about a year ago that I'm in full-blown menopause. I have all the characteristic issues that go along with it. All of my life I've had to watch what I eat and try to exercise regularly (but that isn't going nearly as well as it should be right now). Some days I just have no motivation whatsoever. My tighter and tighter fitting clothes should be motivation enough, but apparently it isn't. I'm so tired of this weight gain and feeli ...

I am really having problems with mental fogginess related to menopause. I am currently on estrogen and progesterone. Does anyone have an advice on how to treat this? When it is bad, I can't concentrate to work. Thanks! ...

I have been transcribing for 32 years now, am 54 years old. I started menopause 1-1/2 years ago (so I guess since they say you have to have missed a period for 1-full year that I am officially menopausal). My world seems topsy turvy. Is there light at the end of the tunnel. I have tried working a second job for the past year off and on, but it has been too difficult to concentrate. After 10 years of working from home, because of the slump in production decided ...

My LMP was almost 3 yrs ago. Not too many hot flashes, about 3 a day, but the ones at night wake me up, so I don't get good sleep. I'm 46 now, menarche at 10. Saw an ob/gyn 3 ysa and said my LH and FSH were too low to be having any more periods. Any info, this is just the pits. Mood swings, swelling, weight gain, you know the gory details. Tried soy pills and tofu/soy products, but made the hot flashes worse and will not use hormones. I ...

Explicit personal anatomical information below - do not read if offended or prudish. Wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms and how did you resolve them. I think I may have started menopause and have done some research on my symptoms. Seems like dry tissues and URI are a symptom, of which I have had both. Very rarely do I get URIs, but after this one was resolved (I hope), seems like i have somewhat dry but itchy and somewhat achy ...

My menopausal symtoms are driving me crazy. I have tried vitamin E, blackcohosh (which gave me headaches) and soy isoflavones with no relief. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I am not seeing my gynecologist until April and I can't deal with this until then!! ...

I'm 48 and started having weird periods about six months ago. Kind of figured I was gearing up for menopause. Ive had a couple of hot flashes, but and just irregular bleeding, but that's about it. Well, I skipped my last couple of periods and thought great I'm done with periods. Got my period a couple of days ago, and whew boy did I feel like crap. I have been emotionally wrecked for two days - crying at the drop of a hat and I've just felt ...
