I have the night sweats, the depression and anxiety have been on and off for years, but shorter periods? Not me, in fact, mine are longer and heavier.. GYN said this is also a symptom of peri-menopause. I keep telling my body that I'll be damned if I have to have night sweats and a longer period, pick one! LOL0 -
Wow, there's a thought! If we could pick the symptoms we'd prefer over others, which would we choose? I don't know--
My current top three are pretty hideous to put up with:
Change in body odor :grumble:
Hot flashes :blushing:
Anxiety/ mood swings :frown:
But I don't see among the others any that I rather have....:noway:0 -
Night sweats
Mood swings (my family thinks Im nuts)
"duh" moments0 -

peri-menopause here:
1). No periods at all for months, and then spotting.
2). Insomnia
3). A "spacey" feeling. Lack of ability to concentrate.0 -
I had the night sweats, irratability and spotting. The my doctor prescribed thyroid medication and the spotting and irratability went away. I added soy milk, tofu and edumama to my diet and the night sweats went away as well. Insomnia is now taking up the slack, but exercise seems to help. May be if I blame my inablity to focus on menopause, I can get out of trouble with my hubby. What do y'all think?0

Weight Gain (including weight moving from thighs/hips to upper stomach)

Cold Flashes (chilled to the bone for hours!)
Decreased ability to concentrate and stay focus (probably because my thought kept getting interupted by hot/cold flashes)0 -

This time in our lives is so exciting, isn't it? I had no symptoms at all. June 2011 had totally hysterectomy and sent into warp speed menopause -
1. depression
2. weight gain
3. major hot flashes
4. insomnia
I went on hrt winter after. Helped big time. No more depression except when RA is bad, lost 60 pounds (hoping for 15 more). Still have hot flashes but maybe not as many and sleep sucks. Losing weight really did help my state of mind. Hopefully this wont go on forever. Winnie0 -
I also have had:
1. Hot flashes so bad that I thought I'd need a fireextinguisher to put myself out!
2. Insomnia - what is it about 2 am??
3. weight gain
4. and mood swings that made me feel like an out of control teenager!
thank goodness for HRT and excercise, now I feel like a human being again!0
