Symptoms disappeared... is that normal?

[MyOtherProfile]

For a few months I had various symptoms of the menopause... hot flushes, waking at night etc. I realised today that I haven't had any symptoms now for a couple of months. Seems odd to me... I was expecting to go through a year or so of this and then come out the other side. Now it all seems to be on hold. Has anyone else had this?

Please God, let that be me.
Hot flush

My symptoms stopped for a few months, and then started again, but seem to be gradually going away again. I think my poor body just doesn't know what to make of it all!

Should add that on one hand I don't mind not having hot flushes I just would prefer for it all to stop in one go... periods and everything!

I hate to say it but I had this for years with the peri meno, it just gradually worsened! I'm a year post surgical meno now and still getiing symptoms, but it is bearable so far. Better than the peri menopause anyway!

It's perfectly normal to have this stop-start stuff. That's peri. Your estrogen levels are all over the place. when they are high (or if you have a period) it all settles down for a bit then the symptoms start up again and may not go away for a loooooog time.

Do not think once your periods stop it's all over- far from it- that's when it can get a lot worse. Sorry.

Good luck OP. I hope it's done for you but others advice here reflects a lot of people's experiences including mine. The on and off effect can go on for quite a while.

I had at least 6-7 years of it and still 10 years on get a few flushes.

My mum had flushes for 30+ years into her 80s- not as uncommon as you think.

Yes, I assumed due to various herbs etc. It wasn't. The menopause is a cyclical as periods, but not at predictable.
