Hi there...I've been on MFP for almost a year going up and down with weight, mostly down though with a few blips. I've been peri-menopause for about 8 years now (I'm 48) with symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, and hot flashes off and on. They were minimal though, that is until the first of this year. I got hit by a bus with the hot flashes and fatigue. The fatigue may be because I can't sleep. I haven't had a decent night sleep in almost a month.

I'm trying to power through it and hope at some point I just get so tired I do sleep through the night sweats...lol. I've continued to work out. I try to do cardio a couple times a week and I'm weight training with a trainer twice a week. I eat well and have lost about 7 pounds in the last month, some of which was bloat from the holidays. But with work, a teenager, and a new puppy, I am wiped!

I started taking the Estroven Energy tablets about a week and half ago and keep hoping they will kick in. I think the hot flashes during the day are getting better.

Anything else that has worked for any of you? My good friend did HRT for a couple months. I'm not sure I'm there yet though but if I don't start sleeping soon I may have to go to the doctor.

All I know is this sucks!
