I am in a living hell! At least I was before I started using antidepressants. Now I manage to get 4 to 6 hours of good sleep, which is great concerning the way it was before. Also, I stopped crying, I cried for no reason at all! Still, some symptoms still remain. Night sweat, loss of libido, sensitive breasts, you name it. I even gained some weight and sometimes if I sweat, I sense that it smells more strongly then before. Will this ever end? Can it get any worse?
Of course it will end. I guess you cannot take pill for every thing that is bothering you in menopause. When you start skipping periods and eventually do not have them, that should be the time when symptoms will start to subdue. Until then, you will have to somehow deal with the changes you are going through, both hormonal and emotional. And to answer your question yes. It can get worse. Joints pain, bleeding gum, memory loss, heart beat problems
