Help me? I am 62 and had a complete hysterectomy at 50. I went off HRT because of what I've heard about it. I have HORRIBLE night sweats. My scalp gets sooo hot and my body breaks out in a sweat. My question is, how long does this last??? I am 62 and I'd think old enough for this to stop? I'm also so dry down below (even using vaginal cream) I couldn't even get a toothpick in. Obviously I have a very unhappy husband. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Thank goodness for having found this web site and reading others 'problems'! I don't feel as if I am imagining or making more of things now, or feel the need to keep apologising for just being hormonal! I am 62 and post menopause, the hot flashes are not so bad now but I do get real downers and worry about anything and everything, and get quite weepy. I sat down today and tried to reason why. I have now finally realised that the events of the last five or six years which I tried to cope with at the time are catching up. In that period I lost my mother, then my father, my beloved brother succumbed to Alzheimers, then my mother in law died, and then my son's marriage broke up. I was coping with a full time job which I loved until I started to be affected by all my family traumas and that was when my line manager, who I thought was also a friend, took that opportunity to make my life a misery until I finally resigned with stress. Perhaps I would have 'survived' all these events normally but when you are menopausal you just can't can you.

YES - I AM A MALE! I am, or have been with a wonderful woman for many years. Menopause seems to stand for "PUT YOUR MEN ON PAUSE". I SYMPATHISE IMMENSELY WITH WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. From a male perspective we emotionally and psychologically can suffer immensely also, without the devastating physical conditions. The education of men is as important as the treatment of women. I am trying so hard to understand the emotional side of menopause ( doing a course in Psychology at the age of 58 ) as the relationship no longer exists through what I believe is the loss of a feeling of femininity, worthlessness and being unattractive for a woman. None of this is the way most men see you. HOWEVER - it doesnt seem to make you all feel any better - you still push us away. Companionship, doing things together, going to a show, going out for dinner are all things that I love doing and it has all gone! It seems like anything a man says to encourage menopausal women is taken as "just being stated to make you feel good" or made up. Us men get older and dont look so hot either but love should over-ride the way we all look. The bottom line -EDUCATE MEN AND MAKE WOMEN AWARE OF THEIR WORTH. TRY NOT TO PUSH AWAY THE ONES THAT LOVE YOU ( You Are Wonderfull Creatures)

I am 51 yrs. young and have many symptoms of menopause. I have epilepsy, I was seizure free for 16 yrs. (and had a healthier life), 2 yrs ago I had 3 grand mal sezures. I believe menopause was a big part of this. I have been documenting since. Hot flashes, anxiousness, gaining of weight,mood wings, extreme migraines, heart palpitations, shortness in breathe, achy body, anxiety (I have never experienced before). My body is so sensitive, I use to be a semi- strong person, I believe my symptoms I have now stem from menopause and its been even more of a disability for me. Anyone out there w/ a seisure disorder (epilepsy) hang on and enjoy the ride? Can anyone relate to this please give remarks It feels like my body is going through a total body change. It affects my whole quality of life. I don't like taking medicine for everything, I already take medication for my epilepsy and see doctors regularly, if not more. For Hot Flashes herbal pills, tincture for my anxiety, I know that breathing, exercising, and eating properly is very important.

Hi everyone, especially Karen from usa; 5 years ago I also experience an unpleasant smell down below. I went to c my gynaecologist and we discovered that the smell was due to pre-cancer cells. I had an operation which was successful and I have a check up once a year, just to make sure it isn't reoccurring.

I survived ca in 1995. The chemobrought on premenopausal symptoms which I have suffered on & off for 11 years. The flushes & mood swings have increased. Ive been to menopause clinics, taken Black Cohosh, Wild Yam, Soya Products, eat lots of Phytoestrogens, tried, Efexor, nothing has worked. Can anyone help me. I dont like myself with my mood swings, have a wonderful partner who tries to understand.

At age 59, I have not had the more dramatic symptoms of menopause--perhaps because I was on HRT for about four years. By the time I went off, at age 56, night sweats, hot flashes, and headaches had gone away. But now I have this annoying problem: vaginal odor. It seems to appear on and off. I don't find unusual discharge, and no other symptoms, so I'm not at all convinced there is an infection. However, if it persists, I will probably see my gynecologist about it. The thing is, I do remember that my grandmother sometimes smelled "odd" in her old age. So I'm wondering if I "inherited" this tendency and if anyone else has experienced such a thing. It's very embarrassing, to say the least.

I had expected to find some more informative material on how to cope with some of the problems. We all know these things happen but not to what extent until they do. We need constructive help in how to alleviate the symptoms not the try this, try that, that others are suggesting (albeit helpfully).

Does anyone wonder if they'll live through menopause? Twice now I've awakened to my heart racing and feeling short of breath. Now I'm afraid to go to sleep! I've developed a fear-based mentality, checking my blood pressure several times a day. Is this crazy?

I had a hysterectomy when I was 26. My ovaries were left in due to my age. Endometrosis. 2 years ago the endometreosis came back had them taken out. Went through pre-menopause for about 7 years. Now it's full blown I don't want HRT. I decided I could live with all the Hot flushes and all those ofther thing. Any I have them all except for the mood swings that doesn't seem to be a problem. But the worst and most devastating expecially to my marraige is that my sex drive is completly gone. There is no desire no nothing. Please can anyone give me any suggestions.

Hello ladies! I am 20 years old and I have what is called ENDOMETRIOSIS. For those of you who don't know what that is I would recommend looking it up because it would take forever to explain. I am taking a shot every month called Lupron for 6 months which puts me into menopause. I have symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and here lately my joints mainly my hips have been killing me. I think what is so bad is that sometimes the hip pain causes me to limp, and older ladies look at me and say "you are too young to be hurting like that". If only they knew. I am one of the unlucky ladies that gets to experience menopauese not once but twice, but I have heard that it won't be so bad when I go through it naturally, because they say the shot makes it 10 times worse. I hope everything gets better for all of you. If anyone would like to contact me on this subject you can email me at SHANNYBoo2002@aol.com

Since I went into post menopause about 4 years ago, I have had several symptoms, the worst of which are panic attacks. I wake up shaking and want to run. I am on Xanax 3 times daily and it has helped somewhat with the fight or flight symptoms, but my nerves are always on edge. I have suffered from some depression, but not as much as nerves. I found myself worrying about getting older, and find it hard to focus on anything but me when I have what I call an episode. Does anyone else suffer from these symptoms? I would be glad to write to someone and compare notes. Does it ever go away?

I have just turned 48 and over the last couple of months I have started to develop really bad headaches which seem to bring my mood down. Anyone else experienced this? My periods are still very regular. I have other symptoms but as I have always suffered from quite bad PMS symptoms since my late teens I tend to take the others stuff in my stride. But the headaches! Love to hear if anyone else has had this problem.

I am 50 and had a partial hysterectomy six years ago to remove a large fibroid so I stopped having the heavy periods that were dominating my life. Now I am in the menopause and just feel like no one can tell me it`s okay to feel sorry for myself at times. For me the very worst thing is va**** dryness and vulva soreness. My doctor prescribed Vagifem which helped at first but they just aren`t enough to take away this awful discomfort. Sex is something to be avoided because of the pain, and even some bleeding afterwards. Can any one advise me on a suitable lubricant product before I become severely depressed, please?

Although I am very miserable with all my Menopause symptoms I somehow feel I am not alone after having read all the other stories I have just come off HRT after 8 years and now suffer extremely from hot flashes and night sweat. It is most embarassing in social situations as the sweat pours off me, mostly by running over my face. Any advise or help will be appreciated. I also suffer from severe pain during intercourse and pains in my muscles and joints. When will this ever get better? And one more thought, nobody seems to understand or sympathize with these problems (except those affected of course).

I am 50 and am experiencing hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings loss of libido. I have found sage drops and black cohosh (used first by native american indians for their squaws !)really helpful. The sweats are under control, not gone altogether but much better. I am also taking milk thistle which keeps me "regular" !! Anything has to be worth a go since I do not want to go on HRT since I have had a partial hysterectomy due to cervical cancer. Any other tips welcome

I am 59 years of age and had a hysterectomy at the age 41. I went into menopause with a patch on my hip. About a year ago I expressed concern to my doctor about the longivity of my HRT replacement use. He put me on a drug called menest which is soy bean based, for those that are looking for something that is more natural. I recently started having problems with sweating and being miserably hot. I cannot even make a bed without breaking out into a sweat. This sweating is confined mostly to my head and chest area. If anyone has experienced this or has any suggestions I would be most grateful.

I too usually have a hot flush when I visit the loo in the night. Also stress, temperature and wearing too many warm clothes can bring on a flush. I am 51 and have been having symptoms for 2 years now. I have been taking soya isoflavones and I find they control the flushes at certain times during my cycle-without them the flushes are definately worse.Good luck to all my fellow flushers! Hope it doesn't last long!

In reply to "t" - Although not impossible, it would be extremely unlikely that you would be going through menopause at your age. There are other conditions that can cause excessive sweating. I suggest that you hav a word with your doctor, if only to put your mind at rest. All the best to you.

Menopause in itself has its purpose which I assume is to prevent an older woman from having children and not living long enough to care for the child. Apparently our bodies have not yet evolved to catch up with the longer life span.It is my opinion that the side effects of menopause are a freak of nature and that if this were to happen to the male population, every government would spend millions in research to prevent the devasting effects --some of which are never even discussed and no one knows exists until it happens. Hair, skin, nails, and particulary changes not only of the vaginal area, but of the vulva as well. If the males sexual organs were to shrivel up by the age of 50, I repeat, there would be a world wide panic for prevention.
