Hi Ladies

Im 50 and over the last 6 months but particularly the last 6 weeks ive been experiencing some awful symptoms. I have  an implanon (which is due out in january and never going back in) and not had a period for over 9 years so unable to gauge whether i am menopausal because of a lack of periods. I am normaly extremley active and never been prone to anxiety or depression but over last months i feel like my legs wont hold me up most days, i feel shaky inside and I have burning pain in my muscles (mostly at night), i sweat at night (not every night). i feel off balance and unsteady and feel sooo anxious i can barely drive or go into a shop, complete lack of sex drive much to my partners frustration. blood tests, ecg,blood pressure, brain mri all absolutely fine which is a relief. Im sure my doctor is getting fed up with me over last few weeks , he has not mentioned hormones/menopause but obviously im at "that age". i stumbled across this forum and so many of your symptoms match mine. Its literally driving me mad and just want to feel like the person i was 6 months ago again..

    Definitely detox, steaming is good too. You don’t want to deal with dryness or low libido. This is only the beginning since the implant comes out in January

    It does sound like menopause. I am constantly shaky and dizzy. Pain in my legs and feel like I want to rip my hair out with frustration. I have to come off my hrt too so heaven knows how much worse it will get.
