Menopause's killing me

arabelle42351 over a year ago

It seems to me that this is the worst period of my life. I thought that I would be able to survive through menopause more easily by using medications, but it is not like that all. I managed to sleep ok because of antidepressants, but still I cannot stop crying and having panic attacks from time to time (but the situation is a bit better since I take medicaments). This entire thing would not be so troublesome if I do not have to go to work every day. What are your experiences? Menopauses killing me!

I can imagine what you must feel like. The main problem for me was physical health problems. I had troubles with almost every body system. Joint pains, urinary tract, irregular heartbeat, muscle tension, nausea, gas problems, hair loss, night sweats. And lets not forget mood swings and lack of concentration. If it werent for my husband who was very supportive and helpful, I do not how would I survive that period of life. But I did, so you will too. Do not worry, it will pass soon.

Melitta I know your post is a year old but I too have the same symptoms Plus now I am also anemic and have to stay off work I cannot even walk to the bathroom without gasping for breath! Lucky for me I have a wonderful husband but we are newlyweds and menopause hit around the time of our honeymoon! it has been two years and nothing seems to improve, even though I am now on a HRT patch (well only the hot flashes are gone. the horrible joint pains and hair loss are partly due to low iron by the way. this is slowly improving with iron therapy. Nobody told me Menopause was the beginning of a woman's death. I feel old. I cry a lot. I look very different than I did a year ago. it is overwhelming.

I can relate. I've been going through it for over 3 years and I feel like I'm slowly dying. I also feel old and have aged so much since it started. The hot flashes and crazy emotions are taking a serious toll on me. I'm afraid of hormone replacement therapy due to the cancer risk and herbals don't work!! I hope we can all get some relief.

I went through menopause at 50. got hot flashes and bad night sweats. I took herbal supplements and still have all my body parts. the part was wanting sex all the time and was with a man (husband a new one) that only wanted it once every 8 months or longer ... this was the drag for me and also i think he lost interest in me because I could have no more children and he never had any of his own. I think deep down he wanted me to have one more...He thought I was old after but am now 60 and look 42 soo go figure and he is 59 right now sooo. I looked 35 when I was 50 soo after 3 years all the symptoms went away just as the same as before I had my periods. I love the freedom of being able to wear anything I want... and yes am moving on and looking for someone that has the same drive as I do...

Thank you for this post. I feel all of the above things everyday and sometimes feel like I’m going crazy. How long did it take you to start feeling better. I’m afraid I’ll be stuck in this vicious cycle indefinitely!
