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 get that too. Usually lasts for about three days; then it's gone. Comes back (on and off). I always notice it worse in April, so I thought it was just weather related. Not sure anymore!

    WEIGHT GAIN. I feel like it's impossible to lose the weight! I do not want to hear one doctor/person tell me to get more active!

      Yes! I have been keeping an accurate food diary and exercise log so I KNOW nothing has changed but still the weight creeps up. If one more person tells me to eat more wholegrains.....

    Does anyone on this thread have hemorrhoids? And have they gotten worse since menopause? Especially if you have a job where you sit most of the day? I know just like the lining of your vagina gets thin, I'm sure it's the same with the anal area. Sorry if this is TMI but I feel like I can ask on this forum. All you ladies have been such a help to me! Finding this forum was a Godsend!

    Hi Suzanne

    I've come across your post and hoping this is still active.

    Bang on turning 45 December 17 I have been hit hard by symptoms that in the last 6 weeks has driven me to dispair. I think your post is really important and really should pick on other symptoms not just classic symptoms which I haven't experienced: hot flashes or night sweat (yet!!)

    Please can I add to your list :

    Left eye vision disturbance/irritation/sometimes feels like pain. Maybe requiring glasses for real focusing - optician review needed.

    Utis that appear out of know where and reocure - can be debilitating - antibiotics and referral to gynaecologist.

    Burning/pain and cramps along inner thighs.

    Chronic neck pain.

    Chronic hip and lower abdominal pain

    I have been off work for 5 weeks initially for utis but I believe my untreated symptoms have push me over and feeling unable to function the way I use too.

    It would also be great to have a list of treatments ladies have found really worked too. We all need help together.

    Thanks again x

      Ok, I'm so glad you mentioned Mouth Ulcers & Eye problems. I really thought I had been slacking in my mouth hygiene as try as I do I have found my gums are so irritated at times and also I have flare ups of mouth ulcers!! My eyes have been pretty awful too it just makes me feel so rubbish if its not one thing its another. I having regular appointments for eye tests and at the dentist but say that eye health normal (apart from natural eye aging) dental check ups fine too !!

      It just awful sad

      It’s horrible Elaine- I honestly didn’t have an understanding of it at all - knew about hot flushes, night sweats but nothing about any of the other symptoms! I read somewhere that it’s like coming off a massive drug high - all those hormones going!!!!

    Thank you for this info. I have experience slight burning sensation of my hands, feet, and lower leg as well as muscle aches. It can be quite frightening.
