IT IS TOO MUCH!! Post-menopause DOES NOT go away quietly!!

Hey Ladies...
I am DEEP in the throes of post-menopause, roughly SEVEN years, to be specific; that said, since I've been on this last hormonal-horror journey of my life, my symptoms have escalated! Now for the sake of clarity, there are GOOD days, and they come in waves, yet the BADDD ones outweigh the days when I feel like a NORMAL, functional person. Suffice it to say, I PUSH through thee relentless symptoms of anxiety, aches and pains, joint stiffness, racing/negative thoughts, irrational thoughts, swollen knees, swollen ankles, an enlarged stomach, adult acne, rage, itchy skin (internal & external), depression, lashing out at others, chills, cravings, dry eyes, feet pain, flatulence, frequent urination, insomnia, etc., to do the things I need to do in order to maintain my livelihood. I know those are a LOT of symptoms, yet I have/have had a BOUT with them all and then some. Which brings me to this: Can any of you post-menopausal ladies attest to what I am saying? Have your symptoms gotten WORSE in this last menopausal stage of your life?

Hello Vivian,
I am experiencing the same during post menopause. I am post 10 years and the last few months have been as bad as the beginning of this journey. Nervousness, jittery, anxiety through the roof, can't stand noise, ringing in ears, popping and fullness in my ears, upper back pain, racing heart, dry eyes, vision changes, numbness and tingling in my hands, arms and face, burning mouth, hot flashes, crying at the drop of a hat and for as long as this list is I am sure I have left some out. This is the first winter I have been able to wear long sleeves in years and have actually gotten chilly. I had hoped it was a sign the bad days were behind me and maybe the hot flashes were gonna settle down. Now I am wondering if it was just a flux in my hormones because all symptoms are present again after a decent stretch where the symptoms were more manageable. They are never completely gone, but more manageable. I honestly thought after this length of time I would be symptom free longer, but not the case for me. Praying for better days for each of us.
GOD Bless

Hey There, Cass...
Your post speaks volumes, and is indicative of sooooo... many relentless symptoms many women are prone to. That being said, when you feel great, be sure to take advantage of those days, simply because the HORRIFIC days of hell are lurking around the corner! Thanks for your prayers, GOD bless you as well, and ALL the other women are are DEEP in the throes of this RELENTLESS post-menopausal TSUNAMI!!
