Melody here I'm 46 and have not had a regular period for years just occasional spotting and that it not very often. I think my body thinks it is older than it is due to having five children before 30. I had a cancer screening over a year ago with a pap and mam and they offered to give me something to have regular periods. I told her she was crazy why would I want that. But I have started getting hot flashes that are really scary. I do also have memory issues which my father is getting really bad at 75 so I know that will only get worse for me. I just need to lose my extra weight and become active again while I still can.

Hot flashes and insomnia both stink mine are starting to get a litte better and less frequent - there is light at the end of the tunnell

Susan I feel your pain!! I am 53, thoroughly through menopause, but still wake up 3 nights of the week at 3 in the morning, struggle to remember things, and have thought on and off about anti-depressants (was on them for pms symptoms in my 40s... saved my marriage), but I'm worried they will make me gain even more weight.

I take tylenol pm on nights when I have just had it and want to sleep through the night (works really well for me). I also take B-12, magnesium, chromium picolate and vitamin D to boost my brain (not sure it is working!) . Going pretty much gluten free helped lift the "brain fog". Good luck, and I am in your corner!
