If you are not happy with The advice of your GP ask for a 2nd opinion, this may be from a gynaecologist who is the expert !

Hi I am 50 years old and have been suffering with symptoms such as night sweats, tiredness, sleepless nights etc but I have a very weird sensation,all I can say it is like little electric shocks going off all over my body but more so on my face and hands. I went to the doctor who referred me to a neurologist who found nothing. My iron is low and I am taking tablets and for a while the sensation stopped but it is back now as bad as ever. Do you think this is a sign of the menopause, I still have regular periods and if so is there anything you can recommend. It is driving me mad and has been for 2 years.
Many thanks

Does taking the contraceptive pill mask the symptoms of the menopause. I 49 and am taking Microgynon.

I am 53years and 7months and not had a period for 13months until
yesterday when one has started yet again. I thought that it was all over
and have had no problems to really complain about. I was enjoying my period free life, so why and does this mean I am at square one again.
Thanks.

I am 39 years old and i had an hysterectoy about 5 years ago, i still have my ovaries. I have had very very bad mood swings which i am generally a happy person but lately i feel a dark cloud come over me and i dont trust myself which makes me scared.. and my back goes very hot and sweating at night and it comes up from my feet and takes a lot for me to cool down, also not sleeping well tossing and turning early hours of the morning. I have had a blood test and all normal but i feel i am not in control of my body and feel i have no one to talk to about it please help with any suggestions what to do??? I have thought about going back private to see my gyne surgeon what do you think ???
