peri menopause and post menopause fatigue ..
Chronic Fatigue
As its name implies, chronic fatigue syndrome is a condition characterized by persistent, debilitating fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, and may worsen with physical or mental exertion.
Women are two to four times more likely to develop this condition, which can persist for years.
Symptoms typically start after an infection, viral illness, or stressful event. However, the syndrome can begin gradually without any obvious trigger.
Diagnosis is made only after all other causes of severe fatigue are ruled out, and if four or more of the following symptoms persist or recur for at least six months in a row:
Sore throat
Painful, mildly enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or armpits
Unexplained muscle soreness
Pain that moves from one joint to another without any swelling
or redness
Headache of a new type, pattern or severity
Memory loss or trouble concentrating
Sleep disturbances
Extreme exhaustion lasting 24 hours after normal exercise
Although there is no cure for chronic fatigue syndrome, treatment to relieve symptoms includes exercise, massage, diet and lifestyle changes, counseling to address depression, antidepressants, pain relievers and bioidentical hormone therapies.

i am 51 and started the meno at about the same age as you, also at the same time I was diagnosed with hypothyroidisum, was given tablets but no one ever explained how I got it or nothing.
i am suffering terribly with a whole host of symptoms, my go puts it all down to the menopause, I have Skechers for vitamin test autoimmune test keep getting refused, I am putting my concerns in a letter as advise by someone and I will be taking it further if I have what I think I may have, which is hashimotos disease, where the thyroid fluctuates hyper to hypo.
My neck always feels swollen , I have 62 of the symptoms and can't tolerate hrt.
i believe lots of menopause women get thyroid troubled in the meno years., I would ask your gp for a test.

the higher the TSH = underactive thyroid
mine is 3.61 ( needs watching )
did you have T4 tested too.. Mine is 9.8

A high level of TSH and a low level of T4 in the blood could mean you have an underactive thyroid.
If your test shows raised TSH but normal T4, it means you may be at risk of developing an underactive thyroid in the future.
