Menopause symptoms came on strong all at once ?

yes to all of those - I started out getting treated for SIBO from my naturopath and started meds and diet for those - it found it helped in the beginning ( about 3 weeks ) . Then all my symptoms came back, I have started HRT, this helped for about 2 weeks then my symptoms came back. I have increased my dosage. again last night my symptoms have reappeared I am so scared now I dont know what I need to do.

hi, Corinna

l would like to know all of your symptoms. I started off in 2016 first I was having irregular heart Beats still get them sometime than my sleep is off right now, than I get this burning in my left in the beginning I start losing weight now its like I am starting all over again. I am losing weight again list of appetite I have this stiffness in my left side hair list my hands like dark. first it was my face that was turning dark now my hands. I have stomach issues its like trap on my left side. I pray God see us through this I am really tired running to the doctor I don't know what else to do really I don't I pray that god keep me in my right mind. I look up everything and that's not helping when you think it something else, I don't want to think like that I just hope this shall pass for all of us on here.

hi, hun

May I ask what are your symptoms I talk to my sisters about this menopause they are too going menopause. So we are the three youngest of 15 kids but I am the youngest out of all. I am going through hell with this menopause yes, I remember when it started my grandson was just born. So this part of menopause I bern going through it for four year be five in may of this year. I been through hell no Appetite, can't sleep all through the night burning in my left side, losing weight, I feel lost we women's going through need some type of help.

Hi Edith

I will be as brief as i can

I started peri menopause at 40 went through HELL did not have a clue what was happening.

Fast forward 13 years i am now 53 and three years post menopause.

Symptoms

Anxiety depression palpitations dizziness acid reflux inner tremor hot flushes night sweats nausea lack of appetite joint pain utis burning and painful intercourse. I feel like a shell of who i once was. I have been given a prescription for HRT but reluctant as i dont want to start and eventually come off lets face it i cant take it the rest of my life.

I have just moved house and my youngest moved out at the same time. So empty nest syndrome. I have five children four grandchildren and am married for 30 years. I work part time.

I am sure i have missed symptoms its the weird unknown ones that freak me out like the internal tremors. I would add i have had many blood tests heart monitors etc all ok.

I hope this has answered your question feel free to message me anytime.

I might have to try HRT as right now im not functioning.

Covid lockdown moving and empty nest now i think has added to it all x

hi, hun

Due to the lack of appetite are you losing weight from it. See when I first back in 2016 it hie me with the irregular heartbeats, sleep been off since than. I start losing weight around that time between 2016 and 2017 lost the weight than start gain it back now losing it again. hair got thin in the middle. I have a burning sensation on my left side I had it once before when everything hit me now I am having stiffness on that same side. I really need to stay I. touch because I am tired of this here. My doctor just told me everything was fine, I just spoke to her just now. it's like we are lost and I pee all the time like it's pressure down there have you had that.
