    Oh Lois i know the feeling of just wanting to curl up and just watch tv until its all over. I feel so useless most the time. I am 45 and sure didnt think i would be feeling like this at this age. I am just getting over an ear infection which i havent had since i was a small child! Ugh. I went through 2 rounds of antibiotics also. Yes it makes me feel like it something worse, but i guess peri could affect our immune system. When i get hot, i dont know if its a fever or a hotflash.

    Hi Lois it is incredible how great this chat is, I am 54 started with Anxiety last year and it was because of my thyroid went south, but It was mixed with my menopause symptoms that just started at the same time. I tried HR but made me more anxious. I ended up cutting everything thanks to the advice of a good doctor. Now I am trying to manage with good diet and vitamins I will definitely die of vitamins overdose 😂.

    I am 54 overworked woman and extremely tired, I was managing my anxiety but I think because my work the stress caused more anxiety this week and I am over the roof too.

    I am waking up and going to sleep with Jason Stephenson meditations. I use Bach flowers pastilles a lot and B12 and B stress complex in the morning. I try a lot of sex when I can, help relieve anxiety for a moment 😂. Hang in there my friend we are all having the same problem. When I was with HRT I had the same anxiety I don't really gets what is the help in it for me. 😘
