Ladies,
I am with you... love to chat anytime. I thought this was going to be a great time in life... ha ha ha!! My kids are almost grown, so much easier now . Some days I think I am going crazy..... the anxiety, the fatigue ( feel soooooo lazy), the insomnia.
And last night my husband walked in and clicked on the Amberen website and said you need to try this... it is a natural menopause remedy.
I am already taking bioidentical progesterone which has helped with sleep somewhat... still the anxiety, fatigue remain. My dr has recommended some herbs for adrenal fatigue and I am considering it. It is all so $$. Check out the adrenal fatigue symptoms which are similar to hypothyroid issues ( I am hypothyroid too).
My only comfort is I am not alone but
SO very sorry others have to endure this time " of emotional and physical havoc" in their lives too.
I joke and say if this were a man's problem there would be a successful treatment or remedy for it a long time ago.
But then I am blessed to have a wonderful understanding husband, but how long can he ( or I for that matter) endure this constantly changing emotional stage I live in??
Stay strong... and keep posting - It really helps me get thru this.
Thanks and god bless all you ladies.

I was wondering how long this lasts myself. Until Dec 2008 my only menopause symptoms were hot flashes and no period. The it all broke loose, I still don't have a period--as of right now--but with everything else I'm sure that's subject to change. I do have night sweats, terrible insomnia, and anxiety attacks. I have been to the ER three times for the anxiety attacks--even though I cannot afford it. I have to help care for my three grandchildren-ages 18 mos to 4 years most of the week.
Sounds like you have a lot on your plate to handle also. I don't know myself most days. Seems like I cry over everything. I'm sorry I wish I had more answers. It helps to talk to these ladies on here sometimes. They sometimes have answers. I have tried estroven but it did not seem to help me any, especially with the sleep issues.
Though I know it is not safe, my gyn put me on HRT on Friday. I really didn't want to go this route, but I am trying to get part of my sanity back. I just pray I don't have any problems from it.
If you need someone to talk to I would be glad to talk to you, but I don't have many answers. We just have to keep going on.
