I’m 50 yrs old and my menopause symptoms have been getting worse over the years. It’s absolutely depressing and becoming downright debilitating. I’ve tried just about everything from natural supplements to antidepressants. I’m on low dose bio identical hormones progesterone/estrogen and they slowly appear not to be working anymore either. I consider myself a pretty healthy person and is very mindful of what I put in it. But lately my insomnia, depression, brain fog, anxiety, digestive issues, lack of motivation and extreme fatigue have truly gotten the best of me. I used to be very active, motivated and hiked a lot. Now, I’m lucky if I make it off the couch. I work part time as a pediatric home care nurse and even that is getting to be too much. Going through this change is hard on my body. As I’m sure from reading everyone’s posts, that you are all aware. I’m not happy at all at this stage of my life. Drs don’t listen and just want to put my on an antidepressant. I’ve tried them all.. they make my insomnia and symptoms worse.I’ve considered taking time off from work but it worries me that it will make me more stressed without the income or a not have a job to go back to. It truly sucks to live like this every day. Any suggestions that I might not have tried are welcome. Truly desperate to feel better.
