Hi there, i just wanted to ask about the menopause thing. my doctor said there was no real way of checking to see if you had started or were in the menopause. is that right then that the thyroid can be checked for this?

i am on a few different medications for things and i don't know if its any of these or the start of the menopause that makes me so incredibly hot, sweaty and i mean sweat like there's no tomorrow, and i am not doing anything but sitting down and i can sweat enough to fill a bath! lol all of which i cannot stand much more.

Hello

Some Doctors are very apprehensive and say there is nothing or no way to tell , but a simple blood test will tell you what your hormones are up to

Sometimes it is not very reliable as are hormones can fluctuate so quickly and can be a case of catching us at the right time , however if you are fully in the menopause a blood test will pick it up if you are in the peri menopause ( the early stages then not always the case )

I think as well that deep down once you are in the menopause you know because it is like nothing you have experienced before you can sort of tell the difference x

Yes! Mine is the week before and during my period. I am crippled by anxiety and depression for two weeks a month because of it. I have requested to get my hormones checked but was told I am "too young". I am going tomorrow though and demanding it be checked. They said the same thing about my vitamin levels and those were low as well. I know my body! I will be my own advocate!
