Why do I feel so exhausted, no energy to do anything and can't really be bothered, irritable, headaches, hot and cold at the same time and generally bloody crappy, I am so sick of all these different symptoms, some good days followed by too many crap days. Sorry for the rant xx

Have you had a recent VitD and thyroid function blood test?  5 years ago I would weed a patch of garden and after 15-20 mins. have to sit.  Still.  For 3-4 hours.  Low VitD levels, a course of appropriate capsules and voila!

Also headaches are commonly caused by dehydration.

When was your last period?

Hi CLKD

I haven't had a recent test, I think th he last one was over a year ago. Last period was over a year ago too x

Morning - mayB have a think about your diet, fluid intake and exercise - lack of exercise can cause tiredness ........ every morning my brain needs more sleep = it eventually wakes up by mid-day, like about now

Yep I hear you. I’m the same. Hot and cold, tired, depressed, have bad health anxiety. I feel like a walking time bomb and am going to have a heart attack any minute from all my flushes and palpitations. My constant anxiety is making it hard to breath as I hold me breath all the time. I’m so highly strung it’s not funny.

My downstairs area is drier than a desert, have no interest in sex and even if I did I can’t do it as it’s hurts so much it feels like I’m being stabbed with a wire brush.

Apart from that everything’s good…

Morning Chrissyjo - do read the 'bladder issues' and 'vaginal atrophy' threads on the Forum.  Your GP/Nurse Practitioner can sort your 'downstairs area'.  Lack of oestrogen may make the body dry: inside and out; deep in the ears, eyes, nostrils, skin, scalp, between the toes, vagina .......... appropriate treatment 4 all areas is available.  VA treatment is for Life to keep symptoms at bay.

Sometimes low oestrogen levels cause laxity of muscles = aches and pains.  Get your GP to run a complete set of blood tests including for thyroid function and VitD levels.

Browse round.

Thanks for your help. I did try vagifem ? I think they are called but I read the side effects and my anxiety took over and I got super anxious everytime I put one in and decided to stop. I have tried those moisturisers too but made no difference. I’m in the process of trying to find a doctor that specialises in this stuff but we keep getting lockdowns due to corona  and it’s making it very hard. I’m in Melbourne Aus. Most of last year was locked down and we had a few this year too

Get thyself some appropriate VA treatment ........... Chrissyjo - the condition won't ease without a little help  .  I had breast treatment in the 1990s and my doctor didn't hesitate in prescribing 'ovestin'.  Quality of Life is most important!

Moisturisers won't replace a loss of oestrogen.  They may also have 'nasties' in them!
