Firstly, you are not menopausal if you are still having regular periods. Medical people say that you have had to have stopped your periods for at least a year. However, because of your age (I am also 48), you could be at the beginnings of what's known as peri menopausal. This is a time when your homones go nuts basically. Remember being a teenager when your hormones kicked in? So yes, this could be what's happening to you. Check out google, 35 most common symptoms of menopause and you'll be surprised at how much you can be affected by hormones. I hope that you're not in for too rough a ride, but remember, there are so many of us here that are already going through it, and we can help. You're not alone. Hope this has been of some help x

Hi there. Here is the link to that forum within this website. You can also Google: 66 symptoms of Perimenopause and patient info and it should come up.
Let me know if you find it!

This link only lists 49 symptoms, but somewhere she provides the remainder. I just don't remember where. If you hunt around you'll find it. If I do, I'll post it.

Hi Flo,
I'm glad that list helped to put your mind at ease. I'm 54, haven't had a period for 80 days, went as long as 5 months last year...so still peri. I've had symptoms starting in my early forties, lighter, shorter periods, sensitive, etc. Nothing too major. BUT... when I turned 52...oh brother. I started out with a painful lower back most mornings for a few months, thought it was the mattress. It eventually eased up, but I was going through a very stressful time and honestly, I think not only was it hormonally related, buy I think adrenal related too. I get itchy on and off in various places. What so bothers me and it's almost 2 years now is my knees. The muscles/ligaments/tendons hurt and are tight. I'm trying to force myself now to exercise more. That seems to help. I've read ALOT of women's stories who are in peri on many, many different forums and I seem to recall various stomach issues with what you are describing. Here's hoping we all get to a better place soon!
