Hello, my names Gill, I’m 66 & I’m  not sure what’s happening to my body ! had my menopause 14 years ago , spoke to a third Dr yesterday, this one being a woman & she said straight away after listening to my symptoms &  without hesitation that’s it’s the menopause, want to know if anyone else has had this happen to them, I’m still a bit dubious 🤨.

Hello Gill and welcome to the forum. Are you saying you think you are post meno? Did you take any HRT when you were in menopause?

Hi!   Menopause = the last monthly period.  End of it all.  Peri-menopause are the symptoms that we notice as oestrogen levels drop off.  R U able to let us know how you felt until recently? 

Can U remember when your last period might have been?  Some symptoms may begin after periods stop, due to reducing hormones.

Which symptoms bother you the most?  Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of. use to chart progress.

Thanks for your reply’s. 
Cant remember the date of my last period as it was sometime 14 years when I was 52 years old. Had really bad anxiety for about a year, which then became very mild, developed dry eye some years later, then about 3-4 years ago started the sweats &in the past couple of years, started getting muscle problems, fatigue, dizziness, dry skin , plus other things , still have anxiety. What I would like to know has anyone else had this sort of problem where it’s been sort of dormant then reappeared? I’ve never had HRT as I can’t due to DVTs .

I have seen members on here talk about meno symptoms coming back especially when not on HRT. Maybe if you have a little look around you will find more threads were members have mentioned it.

Yes it's possible. Oral hrt is associated with an increased risk of blood clots but transdermal isn't. It might be worth speaking to a meno specialist if your gp isn't clued up (though it sounds as though she is).
