Hi all - I have posted on this forum way more than i would like to admit - i think i have had every menopause symptom imaginable - i am 7 years post, but really only started experiencing the most symptoms in the last 3 years - i have had the "brain fog" or "meno brain" where its hard to concentrate, & you feel like your head is filled with cotton - but today i woke up after a long night of tingling, burning body parts & electric zapping to a head that feels empty & i almost felt like i wasnt getting signals from my brain & on top of that my body aches (especially my legs) are so achy - i feel like i dont have an ounce of oil or hormone left in me to function - i look @ other woman my age & they all have so much life left in them -what is the solution? i am just worried that this is something more sinister even though i have had every test outside of a lobotomy - so over this -

    hello, i am 4 years post menopause, and the symptoms just seem to be added to every day. i got brain zap pains in july, and then had every day headache. its wearing off, fingers crossed. Though i am awaiting s neurology appointment, had lumber puncture, ct scan etc etc. my mimd feels like it is awol.and i cant seem to remember things, i feel i cant trust it anymore. i find the anxiety makes everything worse. I also look at other women my age, and think I look and feel absolutely crap in comparision. I dont know if its because they are on hrt, i cant take it. We have to somehow carry on and try to be kind and forgiving to ourselves.

      hi jaynie - i have been with my husband for 40 years, he has only ever known me to be the work horse that gets everything done...at first he was understanding when i didnt feel up to doing anything or cleaning anything, now he is just plain losing his temper about it - he told me to get a motor scooter the other day because he said you walk like you are 100 - its really horrible what has happened to me on every level - & nobody understands it!!! its really feels like i am going nuts -
