I am 42 years old. I couldn't imagine, this will be so bad. It hit me so hard, because I feel young. Had no health problems in my life before, now I'm feeling, I'm loosing control over my body. My problem is irregular bleeding. I had a minor surgery, for non-stop bleeding. I am thinking of hormon replacement.

I went for 8 months with no period then it started again for about a year then finally stopped for good. The body pain, brain fog and exhaustion is terrible.
We're so glad you're feeling better now!
@@scrippshealth thank you, but i haven't improved yet because i just recently disovered that my symptoms are from menopause, i thought something else was going on with me!
Now i have to figure out what supplements i need to start feeling better.
Thank you ladies very much, this was enlightening.

Is it normal to have bruising too？
Hi Maybelle, have you spoken to your provider about this?
I have pcos, maybe I can extend another 2years. I don't have hot flashes. I have insomnia for several years since childhood so it doesn't connect to this. My depression is just my birthdate nothing to do with this been like this even when I was a child. My issue is dryness, wrinkles, saggy, looking so old and forgetfulness. collagen depleting. gaining fats on thigh and hips a bit on lower abdomen. Getting so flat chested. My period is still intact but changing dates eitehr early or late, but still monthly.
