Thanks Taz2,
I always worry that feeling like this will be with me for the rest of my life but I really hope that this won't be the case.
As for hot flushes I don't get them very often apart from feeling a bit too warm at night. Why does this happen at night, I have no idea. I tend to get cold flushes/chilling sensation instead and because of this I'm going to get my thyroid tested to make sure I have no issue with that. What bothers me most in this menopause thing it's the anxiety, low mood, lethargy, tiredness, dizziness and feeling flat and spaced out and sometimes nausea and headaches. The low mood and anxiety are the symptoms I want to be rid of as soon as possible. I don't think I have VA but there's no guarantee that I won't ever get it and perhaps I might start getting hot flushes. I'm only that, now that I'm almost a year postmeno, things will start to improve. As for the hormones I thought that there's a major drop at menopause and then past this they stabilise to remain permanently low. They shouldn't continue to decline.
