Welcome to our community! We’d love to learn a little about what has brought you here.

  1. Hi I am Jamie, I am 43 years old. I have been experiencing Menopausal symptoms for about 3 years. I am here for community that can relate to what I am experiencing, and understanding as some of my rare disease management looks different now due to menopause.

    1. Thank you for being part of our community. We are glad you are here. It can really be a challenge to juggle menopause and other chronic conditions.

  2. Hey Ya'll
    My name is Toni and I am 66 years old been in menopause since I was 52. I have had every symptom that is known. The hot flashes are the most bothersome. I am going to my PCP and try and get a referral to a menopause specialist. I am about to give up, it's so annoying 😑

    1. Welcome to the community, Toni. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you can get to a specialist quickly. Let us know how it goes! You may be interested in this article that gives an overview of some of the treatments available. Warmly, Kathy (Team member)

  3. I am having problems with brainfall night sweats, fatigue, my body aching mood swings. I cry a lot.

    1. You aren't alone in experiencing these symptoms. In this interesting article, one of our health leaders complains about insomnia that causes fatigue, pain, and night sweats, despite keeping her room at penguin temperatures. Mood swings, too, are an unfortunate side effect because of the hormone shifts taking place during menopause. Medication is sometimes prescribed for the symptoms you describe. Have you talked to your doctor about whether treatment might help in your situation? Welcome to our community! All the best, Kathy (Team member
