Hi Pinkcatfairy, tell me about it I had most of your exciting symptoms not fun at all....I often wonder if it all stops in the end but for older people experience I was told it does there is light at the of the tunnel we just have to put through it get through it....there were times I wonder how I'm going to make it, I'm still going through it but not as bad, so you hang on there.

Elizabeth. Flooding and clots! Have you had an ultrasound to check for fibroids? I have quite a few small ones that are most likely contributing to my insane cycles. I'm sorry you are going through this! I'm praying for actual menopause everyday!! Did the flooding just start for you this cycle or has it been going on for a while? Stay strong and let me know how you are doing.

Thanks for your concern. Yes, this is the first flooding type bleeding I've experienced. I just had nearly 3 months with only minor spotting. I really thought that would taper off too and that would be that! You could be right about fibroid although some of the latest stuff I've read has been saying now that they don't think the fibroids are what causes this! I just want it to end! I so appreciate your message. Thanks again.

Me too! 2016 was the worst year of my life. I've refrained from social activities, nothing accomplished and sat around lacking total ambition. Not the way I want to live!

I'm so with you! 2017 has to get better. I have to say, it feels good to know that other women are going through the same and we are all going to get better.

So, so sorry you are having so many issues - have you been to your primary care doctor - I have had so many things crop up - I have been sent to a variety of doctors and my symptoms have been real and all are being taken care of - lots of dr's and lots of appointments, but soon I'll be all fixed up like new again - so hang in there - it takes a lot of faith and prayer and believing for the best - good healthy food, not a lot but I totally changed what I was eating, vitamins, minerals, light exercise, and a positive attitude

Dear Marnee
Yes I believe change of diet helps, I still drink caffeine and I know this doesn't help with anxiety but I do take magnesium which has helped greatly with the anxiety and panic. I do swim when I can which I think also helps greatly, alot of these symptoms have gone, or for now they have and I just wanted to tell others about my menopause, to hopefully help others who might be experiencing similar things. From experience I find it helpful to read about other ladies experience in this transition as it helps to feel we are not alone x
