Thank you Dawn for your kind words. I'm so glad I've a place where I can discuss things because just like you I'm also finding that there are new symptoms each week! Are you taking anything for it? And also is any one trying any natural remedies. I'm going to try mezan therapy, it's supposed to be really effective. If anyone has had a go at this let me know how it went please.

No chic I can’t have HRT due to blood clots, so doc more or less said sorry but go away and deal with it😧.. which ok, but they talk like it’s a bad cold and over and done in a few weeks, and it’s not it’s years and years of every symptom you can think off... the only thing Iv tried is hebel KALMS tablets, which think help a little, not a lot, but take the edge of a few of the symptoms, they say black gosh as well suppose to help you, other then that, Iv just had to keep going the best I can some days, think the motivation for me is the worse, b4 all of this I was always out, and enjoying times with friends nearly every day, but these days I’d rather be at home on my own, which for me is good, as sorry to say if there was a guy around I’d end up prob killing him lol, just can’t stand any one around any more... hopefully if I like myself again in time 😌... good luk chic.. please keep talking on here, to try and help talk about the stuff we are going through big hug 🤗 x

I know this discussion is from 5 years ago and I was hoping to gain some insight from others who have gone through surgical menopause or who are trying to get through it like me. I'm 45 and I had breast cancer and everyone told me you have to do something to prevent getting cancer somewhere else so I had a total hysterectomy and this has made my mastectomy look like a piece of cake. I have cold & hot flushes that go through my neck and different parts of my body. I'm constantly on edge, agitated and usually in some sort of panic. I'm afraid to go to sleep because I usually wake up multiple times with panic attacks. No one understands. I don't know if I will ever get my life back or feel like myself again. I'm so scared about what the rest of my life will be like. I live trying to find psychiatric help with no avail. Nothing seems to take away my anxiety. I don't know what to do; I feel like I am a pretty worthless human being right now. If anyone out there reads this and can offer me any hope or advice I would so much appreciate it.

Hi Stephanie,
Firstly, although you may feel it, you are not a worthless human being. You are going through what can be an extremely tough time for some women. Give yourself the grace and kindness you would give to others. Sorry to hear that you have had breast cancer. Your symptoms do sound very much like perimenopause. Always worth getting other things ruled out such as thyroid and vitamin deficiencies as problems here can often show up at this stage in life. Some women find HRT very beneficial. Having had Cancer does not definitely rule this out as an option, it will depend on the type of breast cancer you had. This would be worth discussing with someone who has specialist knowledge. Whilst antidepressants shouldn't be prescribed as a first line treatment (as the cause of the symptoms are a lack of hormones) these can be necessary at times to help. Other things that help are good diet, keeping hydrated, meditation, exercise, yoga and talking therapy. Some ladies find supplements helpful too. This is a phase in life and one that you will get through, we all feel helpless at times and struggle to see the way through. All the ladies who visit this forum understand and offer great advice and support. You certainly aren't alone.
