Hello ...Here's a question for you lovely Post Ladies.....

Did your symptoms get much worse in intensity and number of symptoms right before you became post? For example, did you have more intense hot flashes, dizziness, fatigue, etc right before it was all over and then gradually tapered off to where you felt better? And if so, how long did the worst of it all last? I'm 50, have had one period since last August (and I think that was a result of stress) and notice that my symptoms are worse than ever...except for a few like anxiety, mood swings, headaches. Am I making any sense? (Probably another symptom!). I HAVE to be getting close to the end, don't you think?

Thanks Ladies!!

No wisdom to bur... Gawd, I certainly the symptoms taper off! If I have to hit another speed bump like the one I'm currently trying to get grip on, I'll jump out the window! I can't take much more of these out of control hot flashes, unwelcome adrenaline rushes, dry ho-ha, insomnia, etc. I too am also up on 12 months w/o a period in a few weeks.

omg! i am post 3 solid years now and i am still having horrific night sweats, i mean, soaked to the skin every nite, i am fearing something else is wrong, i had my thryroid test, came out fine, i just cannot believe this may still be a hormone issue.
much respect to all us who are going thru some maddening issues with meno.!

Im 16 months post and my symptom this year where the worse.....but it does get better......last month i went 3wks without symtoms........but in the last 2 wks some are back......the adrenaline rushes and the blahs!.......I started taking xanax last month for the anxiety but not sure if thats what is giving me the blahs now..........I just want to feel better..........Valerie

It was at my worst at the 6 months with no period mark. Then it was time to get medical intervention - BHRT and anti depressants. Still using them with no intention of stopping anytime soon.
