Symptoms of menopause and chronic illness

Are there any women out there with a chronic illness and your symptoms are same or similar to menopause, how do you determine which is which? Have you discussed with OB-GYN/PcP?
What was there response?

  1. Thank you. I hope others will chime in as well.

  2. Thanks for asking your questions. I am certain that your experience is common among our community members. I look forward to hearing their responses. Certainly living with menopause and another illness (also called a comorbidity) is, as one of our health leaders put it, "Double Trouble." If you haven't already, I would discuss your concerns with both your primary care doctor and your gynecologist. This will help both of them, for instance, in prescribing medicines that don't interact. Thinkof them as a healthcare team working for you. All the best, Kathy (Team member)
