    I go from being constipated one day to having extremely loose stool the next. I never know what each day is going to bring. I too had a normal colonoscopy a year and a half ago and all was good. Has to be the hormone flucuation in menopause. I'm 57 and am hoping for some relief in site. I started peri menopause at 48. The worst part of it all started 5 years ago (dizzy spells, mood swings, insomnia, irritability and more.) Need a break!

      I agree. The dizziness is my worst symptom too. Now I've been getting a new symptom whereby I get this tingling down my legs. Usually in the mornings upon waking. Sometimes I get it down my back too. So strange. Everyday is a struggle. This forum is a blessing. Helps to know we are not alone.
