Could I be in Menopause at 33

After years of pain medication, causing a neurologist to diagnose me as having medically enduced migraines...I decided to stop taking all med.s for 3 months and when my migrains became less and less i was able to pin point the start of my migrains happened during my menstration cycle. What seemed like years later I  was diagnosed with endrometriosis. Then i had exploratory surgury which showed I had no Fallopian Tubes, which in turn was told it was diseased and had probably deteriorated and i had 1 in 100 chance of having children, and if i managed those odds i would have 1 in 100 chance of having a tubal pregnancy or misscarriage.  My question next was hystorectomy, and remove the endrometriosis..he refused saying i was too young and for 2 or 3 more years i was forced to take deprovera.. to trick my overies into not ovulating...meaning no pain..no headaches.  But I continued to request..finally asking him why...if i could have no children anyway...and he agreed...so i had a date... after surgury i was told everything was removed and only one overy left to prevent menopause..Could I be menopausal?? I have night sweats..bad sleepless dreams..always tired, some days i wont even move from the couch. and when i do get up my moody and snappy...when alone i cry and seem to want to just be depressed!!

Any other symptoms? Abdominal isssues, joint pains, kidney stones, memory problems?  Have you had your thyroid levels checked? If you don't mind my asking, what was your pain from before the neuro diagnosed you? Drs are often too quick to say"oh, this is it" without further investigation...~MM

Short answer is yes, this could be menopause.  Some women have premature ovarian failure for many reasons.  It's just early.  Some women go through this in their early 20's.
