Hi Many women can experience the odd night sweat after periods have stopped. These can be caused by a number of reasons such as stress, coffee or alcohol in the evening, dehydration, high salt/sugar foods with your evening meal or evening snacks or even low blood sugars in the night. Maybe do a food/drink diary for a few weeks and when you get the sweats and you may find a trigger! Best Wishes Eileen
I actually feel like postmenopause is WORST than menopause/peri.🙏🏾🙏🏾🥺 I'm starting too feel like I'm getting older...My muscle strength n elasticity in my skin is going away.I'm mean some dayZ!!😕🙏🏾I do MORE Omega 3's, exercise 3 days or MORE per.wk.My hair texture is thinning in my crown area!🥺🙏🏾
That's all normal though-we are all like that. It's sad, but at the same time, we sure kicked BUTT back in the day, right? I can feel muscles weakening, and getting the chub at waistline, have lost over half my hair at 46. We all go through this together-we are in the twilight years. Keep staying active and you will still be walking miles at 80!
Hi Mari We do find that many women can have a good life after the menopause! If you feel that you've been struggling for a long time then it could be that other health issues have crept in and are prolonging the transition. Always a good idea to get a health check if this is happening just to rule out other conditions such as vitamin D or B12 deficiency, under/overactive thyroid function, low iron, diabetes or heart disease as all of these can cause symptoms that are identical to menopause ones! Best Wishes Eileen
Get your vitamin D3 check ladies ! I thought my symptoms were menopausal but ended after I discovered I was deficient in vit D3 and took care of increasing my Vit D3 levels No more joint pain and hot flashes and brain fog and lethargies … it’s worth looking into this
Absolutely Sylvie, I recommend anyone entering the menopause to get this test along with B12, iron and thyroid as all of these can cause menopause-like symptoms. Best Wishes Eileen
I went to a Doctor at peri menopause and was treated so badly it's now 7 years later after menopause from hell, no help, no one to talk with. Body aching and fatigue and bowels hurting and alone. I suppose I'm slowly dying most days.
I still have anxiety during post menopause but I was under a lot of stress and my digestion even though it has improved , I still have some problems. There is such a thing called Post menopause depression .

I'm 52 now and menopausal. I had a partial hysterectomy in 2019 and therefore do not have menses to gauge what's happening. I only know that my hair turned much greyer and coarser. My tummy is constantly bloated, I gained 5kg, have the occasional night sweats and low libido. HOWEVER... since taking Black Seed Oil, my night sweats are gone and my libido REMARKABLY improved!
You are simply amazing. Watching your videos alone helps my anxiety tremendously. Just knowing what's going on with me helps put my mind at ease. I've only missed 2 periods, so I know I have a long way to go, but your videos are helping me so much hun. Thank you so very much. 🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤

Any suggestions....I’m 46 without period since 2015... coffee seems to increase flashes but as a teacher I have come to depend on a small cup each morning or I feel lethargic in the morning and a bit snappy/crabby to everyone around me. Are the mood changes permanent? I find that I am a “beast” compared to how I use to be when I was younger...then I begin to feel bad like “ Wow I’m becoming pretty difficult to be around”....🤔😳
Hi T Unfortunately, coffee is really addictive and your body can notice a difference even if you stop 1 cup! Most women find that their mood stabilises but you can help it along by taking a magnesium supplement and something like Valerian or Passionflower as these are known to calm the mood. Learning to do slow deep breathing can also be really effective and stop mood swings quickly. Best Wishes Eileen
Um...I call it "the 40's-f***-its". It simply means that we are just plain TIRED of always taking care of others, TIRED of bad attitudes, and can no longer tolerate bs. So yes-it's normal for folks to get on your last nerve because you are DONE with bs. It's time to take care of YOU. I'm 46 and have zero tolerance for disrespect-SO burnt on that!
The one and only problem that I have really experienced has been mainly achy sore arthritic like symptoms in my hands, which didn't start until my first year of perimenopause. Last year I had no period at all and maybe just 3-4 full periods and just spotting here and there. I have not experienced any other major symptoms like most women and I eat a very healthy diet. Maybevi should drink a little more water during the day as well. My question is if I think that I'm post menopausal at this particular time, can I still experience sore achy hand joints and swelling due to hormonal imbalances? I was also wandering if too much salt can swell your hands and make them achy and sore as well?
Hi Monica, some women can be more prone to aches and pains after menopause but that doesn't mean it's normal or inevitable. Drinking more water could definitely help. Too much salt can dehydrate you further and contribute to swelling. I would suggest upping your water and trying out Atrosan Devil's Claw tablets. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/devils-claw-atrosan/
Hi, i finished!, i am done!! 😁, i look older? Yes!, i have lots of problems? Yes!, i have anxiety attacks?

Yes!! I get deppressed if i listen to the bad news , ☄️and melancholic ✋🏻😪if i listen music that reminds my family especially my parents ( Christmas instrumental music 🎄✨️🎈🧸🪅⛸️ ), i am so gratefull with my Lord for everything he has taken away, because at the end HE IS THE ONLY ONE I WANT...GOD BLESS YOU ALL LADIES...I CAN DO EVERYTHING IN CHRIST WHO STRENGHTENS ME ☝🏼😃
I started watching your videos in 2020 and I've not stopped. You helped me through a most difficult period of my life cycle. Like you just said, I wouldn't wish to experience the weird symptoms of menopause again. Now, I'm at my cruising level, and enjoying it. Thanks so much
I am so grateful to find this site.🙏🏾 I have been trying to find out why at 65 I am having menopausal symptoms. I just really started having hot flashes about a year ago. Because I have afib the doctors say I cannot take anything that would help the menopause. A Dr I went to this week says it's highly unlikely that my symptoms are menopausal at my age. So between the body aching,The Hot Flashes, the heat intolerance and the other issues I deal with I have too many days lacking energy, focus and just feeling bad with headaches,body aches with osteoarthritis and such.. I had a partial hysterectomy 6 yrs ago. Is there anything that you can suggest Pleaseeeee!
Hi G.G. Did your doctor do any tests for you? Other health issues such as poor thyroid function, low vitamin D, low B12, diabetes and heart disorders can cause similar symptoms post-menopause. If not, then it is a good idea to ask just to rule them out. In the meantime you may find sage can help with the flushes and I would suggest an over-fifties women's supplement which can often be helpful. Remember to drink lots of plain water daily as dehydration (possibly caused by the flushes) can be a factor in all these symptoms! Best Wishes Eileen
I'm gonna do weights more than jumping to keep my toned muscle's up...My legg's were VERY toned from doing year's of aerobic exercise...Meditaranian diet, lot's of WATER... I'm losing some endurance also...🙏🏾😭😌🙏🏾🕯️✌🏾
Hi Antoinette You certainly do have to work harder at exercise as you go through the menopause but it is worth it. A variety of different exercise regimes can help to keep muscles toned, strong and flexible. I do HIIT, hiking and yoga and I find that these do the trick! Best Wishes Eileen
I'm 63 & post menopausal but still have several severe symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. It was better, although not gone, for 2 years when I was on HRT. My dose of estradiol has been cut to .5 mg & will soon be stopped. I've been to several specialists including an endocrinologist & a nuerogastoenterologist with no helpful results. I'm fed up with this crap & miserable
@@AvogelCoUk thanx for the recommendation! I wanna try it. My Drs told me I couldn't continue taking estrogen bc it increases risk of breast cancer & heart disease. What about quality of life🤔

I scathed through peri M & M pretty ok and in 2-4years - but the tummy (2) bulge and mind fog, anxiety and disruptive sleep and still hanging on in Post - def cutting out evening snacking, lowering blood sugars and restricted alcohol & exercise (any) has helped me. Thanks for your videos ❤
Hello my mother has post menupose she is 61 now , after 10 year of stop periods now her bleeding starts oftenly. Her doctor suggest her to remove uterus, please guide me is it a better solution to remove uterus. Because my mother can’t feel better to eat soooo much and heavy medicine to resolve her this problem
I am so sorry but I can't give medical advice in this situation, only your mother's doctor or consultant can do this. If you or your mother are worried about what has been recommended, please ask to speak to her doctor again and get them to explain in more detail why they have come to this decision and if there are any other options available. Hope all goes well for your mother. Best Wishes Eileen
I feel fantastic again after about 7 years of perimenopause hell. That's how I'm sure I'm done after 8 months, no period. Hot flashes are waning too. One of those who rage quit suddenly. Wanted to kill everything first missed period. I DO feel BETTER than before as well. Glad to hear that's typical!
Hi Periods coming back after a year or more can happen and may just be a 'last fling' by the hormones but, it is still important to get this checked by her doctor first Best Wishes Eileen
6years on and mostly all the symptoms coming and going. Having regular tests but it's post menopausal. Sigh. Mind you I dropped the vitamin D for a bit so I'm back on it tomorrow along with b12. Amongst my friends same age we are all similar.
Hi RB, We tend to say that after two years of having no periods, any symptoms that remain, are less likely to be the result of fluctuating hormones. At this stage, as you rightly point out, there could be other factors having a part to play, including a stressed nervous system, an underactive thyroid or nutrient deficiencies - vitamin D, especially, is a really common one. Additional tests with your doctor may be useful if things still don’t start to improve. Best wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk had a fall, damaged ribs and shoulder, should go for x-ray but.. anyhow three weeks on I'm exhausted. Asked for blood tests, told no, you had some six months ago. Wtf. Previous test low b12 advised injection, I said no, I have severe allergies so prefer dietary supplements higher quality. Now being told practice want annual blood test only, end of. I've lost faith in the GP ( profit from pharmaceutical co ? and the NHS) am trying to save money for private blood tests. It's appalling . I am under the royal homeopathic hospital and that too is being slowly closed. Atm I still have faith in human ability to heal a lot of things. I am grateful for your podcasts. Keep me sane. If it were the makes species suffering from hormonal changes there'd be clinics everywhere 🙈🤣
I had a hard time understanding or wanting to believe that my body has changed. So I still wanted so bad to fit into clothes that I wore not that long ago. Well the bad thing really is the fact that I don't have any money right now for all new close so I what I do get I really have to make sure fit well. Not just looking at it and thinking it's going to fit.
Just a thought if you can help. I'm convinced my hormones still reacting to my daughter's menstrual cycle and vice versa. Wish they'd do some research into this. I was referred to menopausal clinic, waste of time. Offered anti depressants for the mood swings fck
I agree my cousin was going through her change and would curse me out when I came to visit and had my period 🤣. She would say get the hell out of here with that, I'm almost period free for a year 😂😆
Hello thank you so much for all your helpful videos. I am 55 and had a partial hysterectomy last year leaving my ovaries. My question is now that I don’t have menses to tell me if I’m in menopause, do you think buying an ovulation kit to test urine would be a good indicator of an LH surge happening when ovulating? Once I am in menopause I no longer ovulate so am I correct in assuming if the test is never positive that I am not ovulating? Thank you

These symptoms seem to last forever more! I am type 2, have hypothyroidism and high cholesterol so maybe it was these health issues that were causing the symptoms all along? Menopause is, and has always been, part of life. Maybe we should do the best we can and feel lucky as many others have serious health complaints to contend with. My menopause lasted 16 years I'm 7 years post (according to the blood test they give you) it's not pleasant but I'm still here a grandmother with lots to be grateful for. Hope you all feel the same? 🤗
Thank you for your words of encouragement! We do know that some symptoms of diabetes can be very similar to menopause ones so it can be quite difficult to determine which is which! Best Wishes Eileen
Thanks for all your work why does it feel like your going to drop when you're working around the house like your going pass out and do you have to be on hrt
Hi Kimberly There could be a number of reasons for this such as general fatigue, dehydration, low blood sugars, low blood pressure or even having a caffeine drink shortly beforehand. If you get this feeling regularly, then it may be a good idea just to speak to your doctor to rule out low blood pressure. No, you don't have to take HRT, this is a personal choice for most women. Best Wishes Eileen
I haven’t had a period for 5 months and I’ve just received my full endocrinologist blood test results back and my GP has told me they show I am post menopause. I’m overweight by 4 stone and I’m desperate to lose weight. Is it too late or can I become fit in this stage of my life?
Hi Amanda You can get fit at any age! Yes, it can be really daunting starting out but I would suggest asking at your local gym/fitness club if they do starter classes. You'll be with other women in the same situation so you'll get a lot of support. Best Wishes Eileen

Hello mam,l am meenu want to know that what is LH search? Did it causes the anxiety, fear uneasiness etc mam now l am suffering from postmenopausal syndrome l have anxiety fear mild depression hot flushes mam recommend me herbal medicine supplements one year before I have operation of hysterectomy mam please give me advice ,coucelling and support l am always in sadness worry mam when it all comes over and when the hormone will be stable awaiting your reply mam thanks for all your great video s on menopause l am always watching them and give me lot of support mam thank you mam
Hi LH helps with the release of an egg from the ovaries, if your level increases this can indicate that you are in the menopause. Low oestrogen tends to cause symptoms such as anxiety and fear so you may find a plant oestrogen such as fermented soya or Black Cohosh helpful. I would suggest asking at your local herb store for a hormone balancing herb for the menopause and they should be able to help you. Good to hear that the videos are helping you, thank you for watching! Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Nadia Keeping blood sugar levels stable can often help with fatigue so make sure that you eat little and often but not high salt and sugar foods and caffeine drinks as these can make symptoms worse. Nuts and seeds, a small amount of dried fruit, or plain yogurt can often help as mid meal snacks and have plenty of protein and some healthy fats at every meal. Best Wishes Eileen

I’m in hell for this and my body is always hot .I ware t shirts under a coat and no socks in my shoes in the winter . This is not right and it’s hell . What can I do ?
Hi It's so very difficult to give up these things on your own, especially when you rely on them to help you manage stress and poor sleep. I would suggest hypnotherapy, which can often be really effective. An experienced practitioner will also be able to help you manage stress and to cope better. It can be done! :) Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk thank you for your reply can you do video this kind of effect as I can’t be the only one going through this . There must be a way for women like me to get treatment too . Hypnotherapy would not work I have tried sleep apps , stories ,yoga , no tv , trazodone worked for a while ,
@@mystage11 I'm afraid that we can't offer this kind of treatment on UA-cam as you would really need a face-to-face consultation with a healthcare professional. Have you looked at treatment such as NLP or EFT, if hypnotherapy doesn't work, as these practitioners can teach you specific techniques to help you through this? Just Google for practitioners near you. Best Wishes Eileen
@A.Vogel UK thank very much . I appreciate your advice and will contact a doctor who treats menopause. I will keep watching as you do help in other symptoms. Again thank you.
My theory is: Nature directs men to have little attraction to swiftly depreciating post menopausal women as they cannot breed. The older the woman, the less the sexual attraction. Just my observation as a mere male. And, I’m not a misogynist as my two ex spouses attest. I try so hard to keep them at bay. It’s trying though !!
"Talk to your doctor"--sadly, they're the reason we often get into a worse condition with all the drugs they push.
True
I am nearly 6 years post menopausal here at 51. I do not use any HRT, & I still have occasional night sweats.

Many women can experience the odd night sweat after periods have stopped. These can be caused by a number of reasons such as stress, coffee or alcohol in the evening, dehydration, high salt/sugar foods with your evening meal or evening snacks or even low blood sugars in the night. Maybe do a food/drink diary for a few weeks and when you get the sweats and you may find a trigger!

Are the mood changes permanent? I find that I am a “beast” compared to how I use to be when I was younger...then I begin to feel bad like “ Wow I’m becoming pretty difficult to be around”....🤔😳
Hi T
Unfortunately, coffee is really addictive and your body can notice a difference even if you stop 1 cup!
Most women find that their mood stabilises but you can help it along by taking a magnesium supplement and something like Valerian or Passionflower as these are known to calm the mood.
Learning to do slow deep breathing can also be really effective and stop mood swings quickly.

Um...I call it "the 40's-f***-its". It simply means that we are just plain TIRED of always taking care of others, TIRED of bad attitudes, and can no longer tolerate bs. So yes-it's normal for folks to get on your last nerve because you are DONE with bs. It's time to take care of YOU. I'm 46 and have zero tolerance for disrespect-SO burnt on that!
You could have decaffeinated coffee. I switched to decaffeinated tea because the caffeine made me feel worse.
The one and only problem that I have really experienced has been mainly achy sore arthritic like symptoms in my hands, which didn't start until my first year of perimenopause. Last year I had no period at all and maybe just 3-4 full periods and just spotting here and there. I have not experienced any other major symptoms like most women and I eat a very healthy diet. Maybevi should drink a little more water during the day as well. My question is if I think that I'm post menopausal at this particular time, can I still experience sore achy hand joints and swelling due to hormonal imbalances? I was also wandering if too much salt can swell your hands and make them achy and sore as well?
Hi Monica, some women can be more prone to aches and pains after menopause but that doesn't mean it's normal or inevitable. Drinking more water could definitely help. Too much salt can dehydrate you further and contribute to swelling. I would suggest upping your water and trying out Atrosan Devil's Claw tablets. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/devils-claw-atrosan/
Hi, i finished!, i am done!! 😁, i look older? Yes!, i have lots of problems? Yes!, i have anxiety attacks? Yes!!, but i am 59 years old, never got pregnant, i am married and NO! is not perfect either! 🤬but i am in the HRT since 2017 and once in while i take the pill, often times when i get a bad headaches, but i rescue 4 stray dogs and wasn't planning to do that but they arrived by their own in front of the beach ( Cabo), and couldn't do nothing but to take care of them...i lost weight ( running after them 😆😂 they like to run away of course ), i wake up every morning to take them for a walk 3 times a day, i eat twice a day but small portions of food, i drink lemon juice everyday, and i wake up very early at 3:00 am., I listen the dramatized version of the Bible and go back to sleep 4:00-4:30 am, to wake up for my cup of coffee at 6:00 am and i feel great!! Yes!! I get deppressed if i listen to the bad news , ☄️and melancholic ✋🏻😪if i listen music that reminds my family especially my parents ( Christmas instrumental music 🎄✨️🎈🧸🪅⛸️ ), i am so gratefull with my Lord for everything he has taken away, because at the end HE IS THE ONLY ONE I WANT...GOD BLESS YOU ALL LADIES...I CAN DO EVERYTHING IN CHRIST WHO STRENGHTENS ME ☝🏼😃

I started watching your videos in 2020 and I've not stopped. You helped me through a most difficult period of my life cycle. Like you just said, I wouldn't wish to experience the weird symptoms of menopause again. Now, I'm at my cruising level, and enjoying it. Thanks so much

Right-was HORRID!!! lol
I am so grateful to find this site.🙏🏾 I have been trying to find out why at 65 I am having menopausal symptoms. I just really started having hot flashes about a year ago. Because I have afib the doctors say I cannot take anything that would help the menopause. A Dr I went to this week says it's highly unlikely that my symptoms are menopausal at my age. So between the body aching,The Hot Flashes, the heat intolerance and the other issues I deal with I have too many days lacking energy, focus and just feeling bad with headaches,body aches with osteoarthritis and such.. I had a partial hysterectomy 6 yrs ago. Is there anything that you can suggest Pleaseeeee!
Hi G.G.
Did your doctor do any tests for you? Other health issues such as poor thyroid function, low vitamin D, low B12, diabetes and heart disorders can cause similar symptoms post-menopause. If not, then it is a good idea to ask just to rule them out. In the meantime you may find sage can help with the flushes and I would suggest an over-fifties women's supplement which can often be helpful. Remember to drink lots of plain water daily as dehydration (possibly caused by the flushes) can be a factor in all these symptoms!

I'm gonna do weights more than jumping to keep my toned muscle's up...My legg's were VERY toned from doing year's of aerobic exercise...Meditaranian diet, lot's of WATER... I'm losing some endurance also...🙏🏾😭😌🙏🏾🕯️✌🏾
Hi Antoinette
You certainly do have to work harder at exercise as you go through the menopause but it is worth it. A variety of different exercise regimes can help to keep muscles toned, strong and flexible. I do HIIT, hiking and yoga and I find that these do the trick!

I'm 63 & post menopausal but still have several severe symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. It was better, although not gone, for 2 years when I was on HRT. My dose of estradiol has been cut to .5 mg & will soon be stopped.
I've been to several specialists including an endocrinologist & a nuerogastoenterologist with no helpful results.
I'm fed up with this crap & miserable

I scathed through peri M & M pretty ok and in 2-4years - but the tummy (2) bulge and mind fog, anxiety and disruptive sleep and still hanging on in Post - def cutting out evening snacking, lowering blood sugars and restricted alcohol & exercise (any) has helped me. Thanks for your videos ❤

Hello my mother has post menupose she is 61 now , after 10 year of stop periods now her bleeding starts oftenly. Her doctor suggest her to remove uterus, please guide me is it a better solution to remove uterus. Because my mother can’t feel better to eat soooo much and heavy medicine to resolve her this problem
I am so sorry but I can't give medical advice in this situation, only your mother's doctor or consultant can do this. If you or your mother are worried about what has been recommended, please ask to speak to her doctor again and get them to explain in more detail why they have come to this decision and if there are any other options available.
Hope all goes well for your mother.

Hi
Periods coming back after a year or more can happen and may just be a 'last fling' by the hormones but, it is still important to get this checked by her doctor first

6years on and mostly all the symptoms coming and going. Having regular tests but it's post menopausal. Sigh. Mind you I dropped the vitamin D for a bit so I'm back on it tomorrow along with b12. Amongst my friends same age we are all similar.
Hi RB,
We tend to say that after two years of having no periods, any symptoms that remain, are less likely to be the result of fluctuating hormones. At this stage, as you rightly point out, there could be other factors having a part to play, including a stressed nervous system, an underactive thyroid or nutrient deficiencies - vitamin D, especially, is a really common one. Additional tests with your doctor may be useful if things still don’t start to improve.
Best wishes
Eileen
Same here!
@@AvogelCoUk had a fall, damaged ribs and shoulder, should go for x-ray but.. anyhow three weeks on I'm exhausted. Asked for blood tests, told no, you had some six months ago. Wtf. Previous test low b12 advised injection, I said no, I have severe allergies so prefer dietary supplements higher quality. Now being told practice want annual blood test only, end of. I've lost faith in the GP ( profit from pharmaceutical co ? and the NHS) am trying to save money for private blood tests. It's appalling . I am under the royal homeopathic hospital and that too is being slowly closed. Atm I still have faith in human ability to heal a lot of things. I am grateful for your podcasts. Keep me sane. If it were the makes species suffering from hormonal changes there'd be clinics everywhere 🙈🤣
Do hope you get this sorted soon, yes, it can be so difficult to get natural healing these days :(

Glad it was helpful!
I had a hard time understanding or wanting to believe that my body has changed. So I still wanted so bad to fit into clothes that I wore not that long ago. Well the bad thing really is the fact that I don't have any money right now for all new close so I what I do get I really have to make sure fit well. Not just looking at it and thinking it's going to fit.
I wish you the best of luck!

Am 54 I only went without period for a whole year then my period can back one time more then it hasn’t came back so wait
We hear that this happens a lot!
Just a thought if you can help. I'm convinced my hormones still reacting to my daughter's menstrual cycle and vice versa. Wish they'd do some research into this. I was referred to menopausal clinic, waste of time. Offered anti depressants for the mood swings fck
Hi RB

Hello thank you so much for all your helpful videos. I am 55 and had a partial hysterectomy last year leaving my ovaries. My question is now that I don’t have menses to tell me if I’m in menopause, do you think buying an ovulation kit to test urine would be a good indicator of an LH surge happening when ovulating? Once I am in menopause I no longer ovulate so am I correct in assuming if the test is never positive that I am not ovulating? Thank you
Thank you

These symptoms seem to last forever more! I am type 2, have hypothyroidism and high cholesterol so maybe it was these health issues that were causing the symptoms all along? Menopause is, and has always been, part of life. Maybe we should do the best we can and feel lucky as many others have serious health complaints to contend with. My menopause lasted 16 years I'm 7 years post (according to the blood test they give you) it's not pleasant but I'm still here a grandmother with lots to be grateful for. Hope you all feel the same? 🤗
Thank you for your words of encouragement!
We do know that some symptoms of diabetes can be very similar to menopause ones so it can be quite difficult to determine which is which!

Hey is postmenopause normal when you have a total hysterectomy. Removed both ovaries as well
Yes, Sunitha, if your ovaries are removed you go straight into the menopause.
Thanks for all your work why does it feel like your going to drop when you're working around the house like your going pass out and do you have to be on hrt
Hi Kimberly
There could be a number of reasons for this such as general fatigue, dehydration, low blood sugars, low blood pressure or even having a caffeine drink shortly beforehand. If you get this feeling regularly, then it may be a good idea just to speak to your doctor to rule out low blood pressure.
No, you don't have to take HRT, this is a personal choice for most women.

I haven’t had a period for 5 months and I’ve just received my full endocrinologist blood test results back and my GP has told me they show I am post menopause. I’m overweight by 4 stone and I’m desperate to lose weight. Is it too late or can I become fit in this stage of my life?
Hi Amanda
You can get fit at any age! Yes, it can be really daunting starting out but I would suggest asking at your local gym/fitness club if they do starter classes. You'll be with other women in the same situation so you'll get a lot of support.

Hi
LH helps with the release of an egg from the ovaries, if your level increases this can indicate that you are in the menopause.
Low oestrogen tends to cause symptoms such as anxiety and fear so you may find a plant oestrogen such as fermented soya or Black Cohosh helpful. I would suggest asking at your local herb store for a hormone balancing herb for the menopause and they should be able to help you.
Good to hear that the videos are helping you, thank you for watching!

I have low energy sometimes don't know what to eat
Hi Nadia
Keeping blood sugar levels stable can often help with fatigue so make sure that you eat little and often but not high salt and sugar foods and caffeine drinks as these can make symptoms worse. Nuts and seeds, a small amount of dried fruit, or plain yogurt can often help as mid meal snacks and have plenty of protein and some healthy fats at every meal.

Hi
It's so very difficult to give up these things on your own, especially when you rely on them to help you manage stress and poor sleep. I would suggest hypnotherapy, which can often be really effective. An experienced practitioner will also be able to help you manage stress and to cope better. It can be done! :)

@@AvogelCoUk thank you for your reply can you do video this kind of effect as I can’t be the only one going through this . There must be a way for women like me to get treatment too . Hypnotherapy would not work I have tried sleep apps , stories ,yoga , no tv , trazodone worked for a while ,
@@mystage11
I'm afraid that we can't offer this kind of treatment on UA-cam as you would really need a face-to-face consultation with a healthcare professional. Have you looked at treatment such as NLP or EFT, if hypnotherapy doesn't work, as these practitioners can teach you specific techniques to help you through this? Just Google for practitioners near you.

@A.Vogel UK thank very much . I appreciate your advice and will contact a doctor who treats menopause. I will keep watching as you do help in other symptoms. Again thank you.
My theory is:
Nature directs men to have little attraction to swiftly depreciating post menopausal women as they cannot breed. The older the woman, the less the sexual attraction. Just my observation as a mere male.
And, I’m not a misogynist as my two ex spouses attest. I try so hard to keep them at bay. It’s trying though !!
