Hi All,

I want to compile a new list of all the symptoms we have experienced that aren't on the 66 listed. If you could take a minute to write yours, that would be great. I'd really like to get these lists to all of our doctors out there, so hope when we are finished you will too..

My latest is burning foot, just one foot

Also noticed anxiety and depression did not make the list

Sensitivity to drugs

Frozen shoulder (aka menopausal or 50's shoulder)

Pain in upper back near shoulder blade

Trouble breathing (beyond shortness of breath, can't get a deep breath in)

High heart rate (even with low blood pressure)

Burning facial and upper body skin without sweating

sore, dry throat

      I think we should all write our testimonials about what we've gone through. The crazy symptoms and doctors responses, etc.

      And put them in a book. I really think I'm going to do this! If we can help some women in the future it would be worth it. Going to call it 'Beyond the hot flash' or something like that..

      God, the stories I could tell.

      Hi Suzanne, I'm new here and could sure use some support. How about a sudden, and I mean sudden , as in one day, my complete intolerance for caffeine! And if you knew me, you would hardly believe that lol. But this anxiety has me back on medication so I pray it helps.

      Thank you all for sharing. This forum might just save my sanity.

      Seriously, I've been off caffeine too, just makes my giant cysts which are the size of implants even worse!

      Another symptoms for me:

      Cursing!!! Ok, ok, I know that's not really a side effect but..

    For me, anxiety and depression *are* the list.  Everything else is just extra.

      I agree Liz.  Everything else is more of a nusance.  I have always had anxiety and OCD (which were managable in the past), but are now difficult to control.  Now I add depression to the mix.  Wish I could stay in bed all day.

      Amalie, same here... I've had anxiety issues all my life... much harder to manage now and definitely experiencing some depression, too.

      Same here. My doctor(he left the medical field and it's been hell trying to find another PCP as good) put me on Trazodone for depression. I take 100 mg at bedtime. I've been taking it since 2014 and it works well most days, but there are days when I have to supplement it with half a Valium, because of anxiety. Some days I feel like I could run a marathon, other days I feel so old. I'm 57 and six and a half years post menopausal. I do take a 50+ multivitamin, a probiotic, fish oil, garlic oil, I exercise, and  try to drink plenty of water. I also take a tablespoon of unsulphered blackstrap molasses, and a mixture of apple cider vinegar, honey and water. That mixture seem to give me energy on the tired days. Losing weight has been next to impossible. So I just pray, try to stay healthy and laugh, even when it's hard to.  smile
