I have been experiencing night sweats for SO LONG and I can't figure out why. I'm only 23, so I've ruled out the menopause option. The only medication I've been consistently taking over the years is Zoloft, and I'm almost down at the lowest dose (which means side effects are really rare). Is there something else that can cause night sweats? It happens to me all the time.. in the summer and winter, whether I'm ...

You would need to do a blood test to be 100% sure.

Just a half hr ago i nicely asked to my mom where the medicine was in the house seeing that i have a horrible cold. She acted like she didn't want to tell me, so i told her that it wouldn't kill her to help me out seeing she didn't come see if i was still was having trouble breathing. So how about she kept following me around with a broom, wend up in my ...

Maybe some faster beat songs and songs without the actual word menopause. a song we were thinking of was lets get it started by the black eyed peas. so thats all i need thanks

I have no understanding of what menopause is. Isn't it one of the stages of cellular replication? That's what I think it is. But can you tell me what it really is?

And do all female mammals experience menopause, if they live long enough?

Yes I did! I had some blood work done and I will find out if I am menopausal. If I am my doctor will try some meds in low dose. Fine with me! I am sick of getting hot flashes on top of the heat we get off and on! I was hoping she would not complain about my weight. She did but at least she didn't make cry like my regular doctor did!

Dad's crash dieting to the extreme; mom has begun menopause and it hit her hard.
They both have the emotional restraint of a paranoid-schizophrenic. They look for reasons to argue no matter how small and try dragging me into it... ugh.

it is worrying me. I had a hysterectomy a little over a year ago. I know that I could have some menopause issues even though I still have my ovaries.

Just had a tooth removed and soon another so I am on a antibiotic. Could that make me depressed? My period is over 2 weeks late. I typically have some depression before periods. I use progesterone cream.

If there were a bridge I'd jump. I am just enveloped in depression and sorrow. My nest is almost empty. Hubby travels most of every week, marriage not so great... Feeling regrets over personal stuff.

I am a ...

I am 48 years old. Married to a great guy for the past 27 years. I've got money in the bank, handsome and successful children. Own my own thriving business. But I can't sotp crying.

I'm thinking I may be in menopause. However, both my mother and my grandmothers went into menopause in their late 50's. I had a partial hysterectomy at the age of 32. I had only my uterus removed. I still have ...

There's more to it. She's banging that 31 y/o and who knows who else.

I like what I've heard about its effects on hair and nails (It's in my mom's menopause vitamins, and she's seen some improvement.), but I've also heard it can make periods hell and skin impossibly oily (My forehead already becomes reflective halfway through the day.) If it turns out that the detriments outweigh the benefits, are there any "withdrawal" symptoms? I know, it's just a vitamin, but, say, if it makes my nails stronger, and ...

Are you having menopause symptoms? If so, I would have a complete panel completed of all hormones. Testosterone, cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone.

I have been researching menopause for several years and have interviewed several doctors. Eating habits play a dramatic role in menopausal symptoms.....processed foods, sugars, white flours, alcohol, hormones based foods. Stress levels are another major culprit. Take time for yourself each day. Look at balancing your life.

Not sure if this is what ...

I am 52 years old, already through menopause and want to try a progesterone cream after reading about their benefits. But not sure of which products may be effective and which are a waste of money. Can you recommend a good cream? Any opinion on Dr. Lee's Progesterall?

I have literally tried everything... 3 personal trainers, all sorts of diets, running 1 hour per day and high protein, juicing, etc.. NOTHING works!

Is there ANYONE out there with tried & true experience on HOW to lose the weight?

Hi,
I too am 19 and have polycycstic ovarian syndrome. When I was diagnosed by my local GP, I was referred to a gynecologist who helped me with questions like this.
In relation to endometrium cancer, it is generally considered a high risk if there is anovulation, no period at all. But because you are on the pill and have somewhat regular periods, I would try not to worry. During menstruation, the lining of the ...
