I love this video ladies thank you. I'm not post menopause but I am skipping my periods now and I feel so much better. I quit smoking weed 22 days ago I feel that I can handle things much better when I don't get a period. I feel quite amazing as soon as my period stops. My boobs are not sore at all. My perimenopause was truly horrific a few years back, but huge difference in the last year. Last summer I had no period for 4 months. Best summer...loved everyday. They came back from October to Feb. And now they are gone again whoop whoop. I want to give women hope because 3 years ago....even 2, i was suicidal and raging with anger. I am so calm now and o never thought that was possible. I felt my quality of life was over. I was wrong.
There are so many more symptoms that come with the menopause, depression Anxiety, the joint pain, IBS with me the list is endless, 57 & struggling not everyone sailed through the menopause with a few hot flushes it can be deliberating.
Oh yes my life has Changed for sure,I was a moveable person with lots of energy, But Now I am always tired,No taste to do nothing, it's not easy going through menopause,,I noticed these days my skin is changing, Thank you ms Elille for helping us women' to deal with menopause and the changes we are going through, God bless you and your dear friend ❤❤❤❤
The skin on my hands & feet can feel “paper” dry some days, so l use perfume free Sorbolene moisturiser and it restores moisture on my skin. I’ve bought coconut infused goat soap to wash my hands, face & body and have found using less chemicals on the skin really helps.
Another great tip, thank you Sofia, maybe check out a colloidal silica skin supplement, this can be effective for helping to keep the skin strong. Best Wishes Eileen
@@sofiamiliaressis5403 start juicing w/ fresh veggies and fruit. As soon as you get out the shower/bath, use raw coconut oil. Vitamin c is excellent too
Thank you for this video. Honestly peri menopause was not bad for me, but this post menopause is horrible!! My biggest issues are digestive, and joint aches and pains. It’s truly awful
Maybe try a fermented soya supplement such as our Menopause Support to see if that can be of benefit for you now. You may also find a gentle magnesium eases the joint pains. Best Wishes Eileen
I agree post menopause is the problem from one thing to another! It feels as if your getting weaker and weaker by the day! Everything you took for granted with your body in the former years you now have to consciously tend too!
Great talk….I’m post menopause but I’m more anxious now days….and still battling with weight loss. But you do gain confidence and some things are less stressful we’ve seen so much before and it was all alright..
I love this video and thank God I found your vlog. So true!! Im 46yrs and Im dealing with most of these hormone changes. All your video are so helpful. You are doing a great job and saving most of ppl lives by giving all the information. Many thanks❤️🙏
I'm 67 now and feel pretty good physically and emotionally except for persistent eye dryness, which can be uncomfortable. Any ideas please? Great vlogs, really look forward to them.
My optician told me to take flaxseed oil capsules on a daily basis. I don't have that problem anymore unless I forget to take my capsules. Hope that helps.
Fantastic advice, thank you All! Ann - you could check out Sea Buckthorn Oil capsules as well, as this is known to help dry eyes too. See www.omega7.co.uk for research Best Wishes Eileen
Now I'm going through the phase where I'm thinking it really is over. I have never had a child so I suppose I am grieving that as I think the periods are over now for good. Still not sure as we were minding my boyfriend's daughter's baby and the period started again I'll be 50 this year even though I look only 40. I went to a very good counsellor as I actually was getting a bit depressed I think and though I am ok I think I'm in another phase now
This is often the worst bit, getting used to being in the next phase but good to hear that you got counselling as this can often be really helpful. Wishing you a wonderful post-menopause! Eileen
Please Ms Vogel, if you haven't already, warn your followers that when they have their menopause they must have their IUD removed. I have been very ill. My illness was entirely preventable. I spent 11 days in hospital, in great pain, scared that I had cancer and was going to die. I have had to cancel a holiday, lose income as I couldn't work, and I'm sure it has cost the NHS £££££££££££. I had my menopause but I didn't have my coil out. No one told me I had to. Actinomycosis, a bacteria, had got from my coil through a fistula into the muscle of what would be my 6-pack, if I were that muscular. It caused a large very painful abscess which had to be cut open to be drained. Now for 6 months I have to take antibiotics 4 times a day, get the wound dressed every 2 days, and I can't swim or take baths. Such a fuss! So to save other ladies from this PLEASE give out a warning on your show. Thank you.
Yes, between the two of them, they have so much information under their belts and l’m sure they have good & bad days as well, but the knowledge they have regarding menopause is obviously benefitting them both positively in their own journey’s down the menopause path. I find them to be a great comfort & resource during my change of life and thank them so much for this You Tube channel that’s been a wonderful place to speak with other ladies here & get menopause info.
Sadly i had to have a full hysterectomy and oopherectomy. I cannot take HRT so am trying to do all the natural things. Thank you for your highly informative videos, just drinking more water, taking sage tablets and the vogel menopause tablets is helping me but am so down because of the lack of hormones in my body and it is debilitating. Some days I don' know whether I'm coming or going. Any advice for someone going through clinical menopause please. You seem to be the best knowledge out there that I've been able to find. Thanks again.
Great to hear that the tablets and water are helping you Ellez. Have you considered acupuncture? This can often be beneficial after a hysterectomy so worth looking into. If you're in the UK you can find local practitioners here, and look for one specialising in women's health www.acupuncture.org.uk Best Wishes Eileen
Suddenly my hair is oily and breaking and a lot falling after years of dryness! The entire body was dry now suddenly not, which is good in certain areas ... Year 7 post and when will it end ...
Hi Maybe just get a check up for vit D or B12 deficiency and underactive thyroid as these can creep in post menopause and all could cause hair loss! Your doctor can test for these just to rule them out :) Best Wishes Eileen
In my 70 s i still have problems falling even with a low dose sleeping pill. My skin is dry and i have a menopausal belly, that i hate. It is very hard for me to lose it. Plus i ve been having issues with bladder infections. Sucks getting old. Plus i help my mom at 101 years old and she really struggles with her body weakening.😢😢
Sorry to ehar that you're still struggling Diana. Just remember to drink plenty of plain water every day, this can help dry skin and bladder issues! Best Wishes Eileen
Wow, such wonderful information gals! I find that you are right, there are good and bad in post-menopause. I am 4 years post and just seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, although I must admit, I feel like a different person most days. I like some things about this new individual and get frustrated with some. lol I can remember when I had periods thinking that I couldn't wait until they ended. Now I find myself saying that I would take them back at any time just to feel normal again. I realize that this will be my new normal and am hoping I will come to terms with it at some point but it can be very frustrating at times. Thanks so much for all you do getting this info out to us gals and giving us a community where we don't feel alone with our struggles. :) :)
Really great video again thank you. Could you possibly make a video on coming off HRT if you have had a hysterectomy , there is a lot of information about when periods finish but not much about hysterectomy’s, thank you in advance.
This is the vlog i have been waiting for because i think i was confusing getring older symptoms with the post menopause....informative and vital commentery as always.
I have a provisional diagnosis awaiting blood test confirmation of sjogren's this is aggravating my intimate dryness and eye dryness and nasal dryness so I'm thinking of taking sea buckthorn extract though I don't know will that help my major issue which is the intimate one
Hello, the symptoms you are experiencing are not nice! Getting yourself tested for this was a fab idea! I did the same thing & got tested, finding out l have low thyroid which amongst other things gives me dry eyes everyday. I hope you get answers about what’s going on for you, so you get a pathway to alleviate your symptoms. Sofia
That's great advice Sofia, thank you! There are so many other factors that can influence menopause symptoms so getting a general test can be very helpful. Best Wishes Eileen
Sea Buckthorn can be really helpful for vaginal dryness and also symptoms of Sjorgen's. See www.omega7.co.uk for research on the Sea Buckthorn and all its benefits. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Kim Unfortunatley, it is much more difficult to tell when you don't have missing periods as a guide. If you are in the average age range 45-55 and have started to experience menopause symptoms, then that is usually an indication that hormone levels are changing, although some women don't get any symptoms so that can be confusing! Your doctor may be able to offer a hormone test which may give you a better idea of what's happening. Best Wishes Eileen
Constant headaches need to be checked by your doctor first, just in case there is another underlying cause. If all is well, you may find a magnesium supplement, approx 150mg twice a day, and at least 1.5 litres of plain water can help. Avoid caffeine drinks and high salt and sugar foods as they can make headaches worse. Best Wishes Eileen
More post menopause chats like this a great. I’m 22 months post and not doing too bad apart from I have developed really bad anxiety which I’m now on medication for and in therapy but I’m hoping I’m not like this forever x
Am age 46 my period is on and off twice in a month or non at all ..am experiencing joint pains dizziness and bloating as if I have gasto ...am I going through pre menapause
Hi there, yes it sounds like perimenopause. You can try our Atrosan tablets for joint pain and Digestisan for bloating. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/devils-claw/ www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/cynara-indigestion-remedies/
Hi For most women, no. Once hormone levels have levelled out most women feel calmer and better. However, for some, symptoms continue to occur. It is difficult to be exact as it is different for everyone, sorry. Best Wishes Eileen
This is a really difficult question to answer, sorry, as it is different for everyone. Most women do find that symptoms start to ease about 2 years after periods have stopped Best Wishes Eileen

How do you know if you’re post menopause if you’ve had a partial hysterectomy before you’ve even started going through everything?
Hi Kim
Unfortunatley, it is much more difficult to tell when you don't have missing periods as a guide. If you are in the average age range 45-55 and have started to experience menopause symptoms, then that is usually an indication that hormone levels are changing, although some women don't get any symptoms so that can be confusing!

I'm 54 and haven't had a period since I was 48.When do this stop?
But what about constant headache at 56
Constant headaches need to be checked by your doctor first, just in case there is another underlying cause. If all is well, you may find a magnesium supplement, approx 150mg twice a day, and at least 1.5 litres of plain water can help. Avoid caffeine drinks and high salt and sugar foods as they can make headaches worse.
