    I cannot imagine what you are going thru. I seem to be mostly on the other side of the bad stuff. I'm 60 and had my last period in 2010. I had no symptoms until 2014 with the worst being 2017 thru mid 2019.

    I'm so sorry for for your loss. Everyone's journey is different. Mine was a great faith in God, a good doctor, and antidepressants, but mostly my faith in God. Hang in there, it will get better.

    Your symptoms are, unfortunately, very typical of perimenopause. When you add life stress on top of perimenopause, it magnifies all of the symptoms. The one thing to keep in mind, even though the struggle may seem virtually impossible right now, is that it will end. It takes time, but you will get there. I promise!

    Sending big hugs and understanding!

    Hi Jo, A lot of your symptoms can be from the combination of low Vitamin D and over active thyroid, undiagnosed breast lump ....add to that anxiety, stress, loss of a job, loss of 2 loved ones, loss of routine & enjoyment of life...causing depression...plus Menopause? Sweetheart, you have had more than any person should have to deal with!!! I am so sorry for your losses...all of them!! Grief takes time and having medical issues may mean THAT gets pushed aside(something to be aware of down the line)...I think if they get your thyroid under control it will help, and if your lump is benign maybe you can try a topical or bio-identicals HRT, or at least treat your symptoms, you need to pamper yourself, relaxation/breathing exercises, walking, find a hobby, talk & keep or start a support system so you don't feel so alone...lots of lovely people on here, we may not be able to CURE you but, we are always here to listen...Your Dr needs to know the huge amount of stress you're under & see what they suggest and be sure to address ALL your medical issues as well....every little thing you can conquer should be celebrated and it may take time!! Praying for peace, comfort & healing for you....BEST WISHES💒♾💞☮🐾🌈🎶🍀

      Hi Jo, Happy to help anytime, its always sad that I can only offer words but, I guess every little bit helps...Take Care & keep up your supports anywhere you can!! Maybe if your Dr could at least help with sleep, you might find some relief, its hard to function w/o sleep, it can cause numerous other problems...hopefully you're snoozing soon!!💤🐑🐑🐑

    Hi Jo, Yes and I can add to that list, intense ovulation pain, digestive issues, muscle pain.....on and on it goes. Last year I refused to go to the doctors as the two years before that I was there almost a monthly visitor for a new symptom or a test. I have now returned as I am just getting frustrated as some of my symptoms have intensified . I have found things to give me temporary relief, and have found some of the cause, but no matter what I do or how much I spend I seem to be back where I started. I have always been someone that was a nervous person, and a chronic worrier, and I am wondering now that I am in my forties if it hasn't caught up to me. I have been a stay at home mom for 15 years and now that my kids are in their teens I decided to venture out and go back to school, I did that and passed with flying colors and then I started my business and that is when things seemed to go back down hill for me. I found the stress of working with clients and having that social interaction was becoming too much, you have to understand being at home and away from people does have an impact. I have now taken a break and trying to get myself back to feeling the normal you feel at this time....but it is not an easy task. When I go to the doctor I don't even know where to begin......I still have the same pains, some have worsened, and now new symptoms, I often think do they look at us like we are hypochondriacs and a matter of time they offer up the anxiety pills...
