Title: new here and so grateful for this forum. Meno is trying to kill me :(
Post by: sammy on February 02, 2015, 05:19:09 PM
Hello everyone.  I am 53 and in menopause transition.  It has been so unexpectedly tough!

I was doing well with it, had some period irregularity in 2012 and experienced hot flushes.  THese stopped in 2013 when my period became more normal. 

2014 is the year that it came to me like a big monster.  I had NO idea menopause could make you as anxious and frightened and altogether turn into a different woman.

I am working hard on fixing it.  On a very low dose HRT right now.  I have many new sinus problems since I started trying HRT and it has caused me to have health anxiety along with the other stuff!

I love this forum as seeing everyone's posts made me feel not alone and not necessarily insane :).  Look forward to more communication.
