- When your menopause symptoms feel like they are overwhelming you both physically and emotionally, it is hard to remember that this is just a phase and it will end.
I get so many women contacting me worried that they will never feel normal again, so to help you see the positives to come, this week on A.Vogel Talks Menopause I thought I would take a look at how you can feel after the menopause and how to know when you are considered to be post-menopausal.
Thank you for this video! I'm 52 and in the thick of it 😫 I just want to feel normal again and can't wait until that day!
Thaks Michelle, please do let us know how you get on.
Hey Michelle quick question Just out of curiosity for myself My girlfriend turned 52 this past August. Prior to this I have been noticing mood swings and I could just tell there something was on She did come to me and tell me that she was starting to have hot flashes and I knew she wasn't sleeping well at night or had a hard time going to sleep and then she was up super early. She is also taking naps during the day sending to be really tired. She came to see me for about 3 weeks the first two weeks were great The third week I didn't know what happened nothing changed but she just lashed out of me because I got a drink of water that I always did and then the next day she told me that she just wasn't ready. I feel like it is menopause that she is dealing with and trying to get through on her own without any help does it sound about right to you because her symptoms sound the same as what you might be having there's a whole lot more sympathy she's had than what I mentioned, from headaches for migraines, night sweats, insomnia dry mouth, etc.
When she was 51 before we actually did anything she told me that her periods were really like and sometimes she skipped them It didn't dawn on me what was actually happening but that's also another telltale sign that she's going through menopause, anyways just looking for another woman's logic, thanks in advance for any help
I am in the harder stages of perimenopause. Lots of anxiety and low mood. Hot flashes and being just fearful of a lot of things. I have a fear that I'll never feel normal again. I've never dealt with anxiety or fears before until all of this started. And I just wish you would go away
After menopause there is hope, light good health and bright future. After darkness there is dawn.
I watch my diet, i dont fell more symptoms, i sleep better , i fell better
I am so grateful for your advice. It has helped me more than you'll ever know.
It's been over 2 yrs without a flow/period. I'm through menopause, I think;) My 2 sons are raised n are on their own.
Best of all our sex life has been "Resurrected:)" I never thought sex could be this good at 53!!! Which has made our marriage relationship so much more amazing n enjoyable. We are living are best lives now. Thanks be to God 🙌
That's brilliant! :)
As time goes on I feel worse, so let’s be realistic here.
Your information is so vital, I basically learned from your videos, through watching your videos I changed my diet and I feel much-much better, indeed diet matters alot. Thank you so much all the way from Namibia.
I'm 2.5 years post and symptoms ebb and flow, never seeming to completely stop. Doctors say I'm fine but most tests are superficial anyways. I've been very industrious about my diet and life but still can't seem to settle. I recently learned there is a resurgence of symptoms at this 2 yr post meno mark. Sure hope it passes!
Thank you for this info. Now I really know what's going on.
I know that this is a older video so I hope that you see my comment. Thank you! I have felt so ill and started feeling hopeless. Someone jokingly said that it is all downhill from here and expect to feel this way from here on. I can't imagine that because sometimes I can barely function. Thank you for offering some hope.❤
You're welcome Sunshine Girl, hope you see the light at the end of the tunnel soon!

I’m 47 years old and went through a really rough premenopausal nightmare but this is the second time I haven’t gotten my period for six months. All of a sudden I am so mellow and it feels so good. Still have symptoms in the body but nothing like it was. I’m hoping I go on my next six months without having a period.
I regularly had a period twice a month for 10 years and the only thing that regulated my body was having a child. I had my kid at 33 and I don’t think too many years after that I started premenopausal symptoms and didn’t know.
Definitely some intense rage and makes you feel like you need a straight jacket. Really hurts when you’re pushing everybody around you away and it just makes you feel like crap. You get in trouble at work.
This is very miserable ladies!!!
Hopefully, you will continue feeling good; some women do find that once periods stop for ever they feel so much better - me included! :)

All symptoms that u have mention are the same with me special ly severe fatique itching ears, noappetite, no taste and burning tongue.
Thanks mum for yr great video
Thank you for all the info. Brilliant and good to know things will ger better. Other menopause drs just talk about the perimenopause and mostly hrt x
Glad it was helpful Helen!
Thanks for giving me hope
You are so welcome
Post menopause two and a half years. Using bhrt but it’s not a miracle, it does eliminate hot flashes. No period means you are old. I’ll never feel like my old self again, that person is gone, I wish I had my cycle back.
The reward of passing youth down to the young is wisdom. This is a good season for women to develop knowledge on health, particularly in a culture where mainstream medicine is male-led, and become a resource of that. Thank you for this video.
Absolutely, agree with you!

Hi. Im 54 and feel very tired and anxious. One year no period and taking hrt patch. Has not worked yet . Doctor said give it 3 months. I was also in an emotional abusive relationship which has ended, but all i do is think about all the horrible things he said to me. My anxiety is so bad. Cant wait ti ferl better.
Hi Diana
You may find one of the Flower Essences can help to ease the emotional distress; I would suggest the Emotional Essence. www.avogel.co.uk/jan-de-vries/bach-flower-remedies/emotional-essence/
You could also add in the Stress Relief Daytime for the anxiety. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/stress-relief/
We lose a lot of our insulation, or emotional armour inthink after a certain age and feel extremely vulnerable, things we used to get through or handle, suddenly feel impossible to deal with. Post trauma sneaks up with a vengeance.
Yes sure when we die we'll feel normal
Guys yoga and meditation...try it surely helps a little if not 💯 percent. Stress is a big factor. Have to start loving oneself and out of all drama. I have morning anxiety and some days I feel I am completely crazy.
Thank you for your great tips, Bhasmang!
I am 59 years young and just found out today that I went through menopause within the last 6 months. It has been the toughest time for me.
Hope things are starting to ease off for you Conny

At the age 51 I had menopause it last 9mths then I feel normal at 53 my period stop I had menopause again it last 9 mtths I feel quite well again. At 57 I have severe menopause again it last 2yrs then I feel quite well like ateen age. Now I'm I'm imm I
Thanks for giving me Hope. I am trying to take care of myself, have complicated issues with arthritis and other maladies, migraines, allergies etc..have heart palpitations, some weight gain I believe is due to cortisol and erratic hormones.
I just had a relapse, after I was pushing myself in the exercise department, trying to get rid of my tummy.
After two days down, I am back, but slower. I know I have to keep moving. I hadn't had a flare for about three months. Its allergy season and I started the extreme exercise 5 weeks ago and didn't have a problem until one day I pushed my body too hard with an extra long bike ride and a few extra miles walking on the same day.
I am 50, haven't had a regular period since last September, started perimenopause at 42 with several rounds with excessive bleeding. Glad that's over!
It's been a rollercoaster ride, and as you said, many ailments have worsened, but I am trying to get a handle on it.
I was taking Devils claw, magnesium -Glucosamine chondroitin and then stopped after vacation, and am back to it. I think it was helping.
I am so grateful for your ministry of healing women get through this challenging time. I dont have health insurance, so it's all about educating myself and self- care.
It's an adventure for sure. Keep the videos coming!
I really appreciate it.

Hi Trisha
Glad to be of help! Yes, it can be a really tough time but, well done for recognising that you need to take care of yourself- this is so important. Just remember to be kind to yourself too and don’t expect too much. Little and slow is better that fast and furious!
This is such good news. I am 2 years since my last period. My joints still hurt and I still feel a bit irritable and forgetful. Even with HRT. I would settle with just my joints to stop aching.
Hi
I've posted a vlog on joint pain and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look.

You're welcome!
i have been going through this for almost a year now
Now I am getting over covid post a week. I am so tired. I do all my work, but there is nothing left over. 1.5 years since last period.
It can sometimes take a little while to completely recover from this so don't push yourself too hard!

thank you so much for all the advices really works...godbless
the answer is no. I had no menopause symptoms until 7 years after my periods stopped. now I feel like hell and as it's so long after the fact it's not taken seriously. I'm a menopause misfit
Hi Heather
Other health issues can be confused with menopause ones such as low iron, low thyroid function, low vitamin D and B12, diabetes or even heart problems so just check that your doctor has tested you for all these just to rule them out.

I feel f up like I'm losing my mind
I am fifty one and I am going through hell with this I hope it is menopause all the symptoms are hell the rining in the ears the severe anxiety, sometimes my anxiety tells me to hurt myself. sigh.
Hi Jocelyna
Have you discussed your symptoms with your doctor? For some women, the hormonal changes can be extreme so they may be able to help with either HRT or mood supporting medication, just to help you through this time.

Hi, please do let us know how you get on
Through my twenties I had two periods per month and the doctors kept telling me there was nothing wrong. What was wrong is it turn me into a major basket case LOL and I regulated after having a child which was really weird. Had my boy at 33 and my body just kind of went back to normal flubbing up maybe once in a great while.
I had my Mama business in May around the 20th then a week later I got it for one day. Now we're into July so woo Who😉
Prior to may I had a good 3 weeker though and then after that I had raging hormones for a good few weeks to where I had to have my mom saved my son from my crabby ass🤣
I'm still feeling the fatigue but for some reason and maybe it's because I haven't had one for a while I feel better🤣 please Lord you can have all of it right now let's just end this because I'm too old for more babies anyway.
Hi
Heavy periods can often cause low iron which can trigger fatigue so you may find a gentle iron tonic (from your health store) can give a bit of a boost.

Hello Dr.Ellen I'm on this terrible nightmare I am hoping I'll be better someday.I'm about to celebrate my 50th birthday and I am still suffering tremendous this perimeanupausal syndrome,Dr. Ellen sometimes I suffer tremendous body fatigued,associated with my feet,feeling cold and the color of my feet getting a little bit purple,Dr Ellen, what will I do during this time,I just drink hot water to relieve the symptom.I check my blood pressure and it was normal then...Thank you Dr. for reading my comments..
This sounds like a circulatory issue such as Raynaud’s Syndrome, and it is very important that you get it checked out with your doctor to find out the cause. Although menopausal transition can cause circulatory changes, it’s sensible not to miss out on checking with your doctor when symptoms occur, in case there is another factor involved.
Can the hit frash come back after 60yrs
im the one who feel bad my menupose im going through...god..
Hi Aura, please email me if you have any specific questions not answered in the video
I just turned 40 and I'm close to the end of perimenopause. I have children to steal raise and I'm afraid I'll never feel normal again. Do things truly get better. I exercise drink plenty of water and eat very well
Hi Amanda
Most women do feel better as the get through the menopause but we do know that stress and having little time to yourself can make it more difficult so looking after yourself well is really important. Good to hear that you drink the water and eat well as this does play a big part :)

Hi Papia
That's so good to hear! Many women can go through the menopause and feel better, be fitter and healthier so there is nothing to be worried about; you're one of the lucky ones! Do continue to look after yourself well and hopefully this will continue for many years to come! :)

Hi, gosh well I've had a terrible time with all of this
I'm 52,I actually started all of this in my late thirties early forties my cycle stopped about 6 years ago.I don't know what's going on but I'm still suffering most of it is the lack of energy and.motivation. any thoughts ?
HRT
Hi Steph
If you are still experiencing symptoms after all this time then it is important to see your doctor. Other health issues can often creep in a this point and get mistaken for menopause ones. Ask to be tested for low iron, low thyroid function, low vitamin D and B12 and also blood sugars. If all of these are OK it could be down to stress, either physical or emotional so have a look at your lifestyle, diet and stress levels to see if any of these may be a trigger. Acupuncture can often help at this stage so worth looking into.
Hi Stephanie I'm Cherilynn im 46 and just hit menopause. Its been 6 month's now since i had a cycle. Had labs done said i was post menopausal. Which confused me cause i thought it was 12 month's without a period ...its only been six for me.and i have been so umder the weather..and also struggling with being overweight im glad i ran into your comment becauae i thought i was one of the very few that got it early still in my forties and i have been depressed .
@@cherilynnsorensen668 you are young...try the birth control pill as HRT...works great for early menopause...talk to your doctor about it.
It has not gotten better for me, only worse. I’m 62
How do you know when you are post menopausal? Thx
Hi Caroline
You are considered post menopause after two yeas without any periods. However, this time scale is more to do with no longer being able to conceive. Unfortunately, symptoms can continue for some women after this point.

What determines whether some women will feel better or not
Hi Loway
There can be lots of reasons such as it being hereditary (they can often have the same kind of menopause as other close female relatives), diet and lifestyle, stress levels or even whether they have a positive or negative attitude towards the menopause.

You may find a soya supplement such as our Menopause Support can be helpful for you and make sure to drink plenty of plain water as dehydration due to low oestrogen can cause a lot of these symptoms! www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/soy-isoflavones/

nobody 'has to' do HRT. Unless you're having such horrible symptoms that you can't function at all.
I am 64 yr.old I was well into post menopause and lost the crown of of my hair so I took a chinese herb (doung Quia) and my menistration returned which activated an old fibroid that had srunk. Now I have heavy bleeding heavy cramps pain I never ever had ever befor this has been going on for 8 months. I am being treated by a herbalist I has helped the pain a great deal and the fibroid is passing in pices. Clots and constaint bleeding.
Hi Sharon, We do know that certain herbs can be very powerful, I am glad to hear that you are getting treatment and, hopefully, all will be well with you.
Sharon thank you for bringing this fibroid topic up I didn't think about that. I had numerous of fibroid too and now I am postmenopausal . I need to take something for my symptoms but now I'm afraid of fibroids growing back. Boy are we curse as women
I have completed 2 years n 5 month running I still feel week joints pain less sleep
Pl reply n tell me
Hi Savita
Unfortunately, symptoms can continue for a few years after periods have stopped but if you feel that symptoms are getting worse, it is best to see your doctor. Other health issues such as low vitamin D, low B12, poor thyroid function and low iron can creep in and cause very similar symptoms. Your doctor can test for these just to rule them out.

@@savitaoliveira7829 good to hear that! You may find a fish oil supplement can help with the joints and remember to drink lots of water every day as dehydration can cause both joint pain and poor sleep!

I don't know how you can feel better if you never sleep well again because of no hormones and wrinkly dry skin and hair and facial hair and bone loss plus enhanced cognitive issues. I hate it.
10 Year's For My Mom, 15 For Grandma
Unfortunately, a long menopause can run in families, hopefully, you will have a shorter one. The good news is that, today, there are a lot of different treatments available to help women through this compared to your grandma’s day.
I feel f up all the time, no cure for menopause
Many women feel back to themselves after hormones stop fluctuating so much.
Yes, sure you will fine after 9 mths like a pregnant woman
I chased my wonderful husband away because of my sexless marriage this terrible disease no wonder men leave us for younger and attractive women
So sorry to hear this Dana :(
NO !
no you don't feel better.
Sorry to hear you are not feeling better. Many women do start feeling better and if you let me know your symptoms I may be able to help. You can also email us enquiries@avogel.co.uk
