Menopause Symptoms -
Challenges of the Change

This arginine supplement can stop hot flashes.

Menopause symptoms can be viewed as challenges to be overcome, or insurmountable mountains. If you're struggling with the effects of menopause, or there are certain menopause signs you've not been able to overcome, this page should help.

Perhaps you aren't sure whether what you are going through has anything to do with menopause, but you suspect it may have.

This page will give you a clear understanding of exactly what menopause symptoms are, and where you can find the best natural remedies to overcome the effects that are making your life difficult.

Typical Menopause Symptoms

Although research varies in listing symptoms, and every woman is different, these are the symptoms that are mentioned in every book I've read that talks about menopause.

I can tell you I've struggled with many of these myself since chemotherapy forced me abruptly through the change over five years ago now.

I'll try to list them in the order of how frequently women have trouble with them.

  • hot flashes or flushes
  • mood swings
  • weight gain
  • insomnia
  • Depression
  • hair loss
  • weight loss
  • vaginal atrophy (dryness and thinning of vaginal tissue)
  • bleeding
  • headaches
  • fatigue
  • lost libido
  • anxiety
  • itching

    Personal Symptoms

    Just as menopause is a personal experience unique to each woman, so are the symptoms you experience.

    For me, I had, and still occasionally have, problems with hot flashes.

    My mood swings were severe enough that my family pressured me for years to see a doctor. They thought I needed to be on hormone replacement therapy.

    However, when I saw the doctor, I found that replacement hormones were out of the question for me due to my previous struggle with cancer.

    That took care of the family pressure, but it did nothing for the mood swings.

    For me the most frequent problem was frustration.

    Frequent Frustration was a Menopause Symptom for Me

    It seemed I was frustrated with life, or some circumstance of life, a good 75% of the time. Sometimes the intensity of my frustration seemed incredible, and almost uncontrollable, to me.

    In addition I dealt with weight gain and insomnia for years. I gained about twenty pounds overall, and five inches around my waist. It frequently took me over an hour to fall asleep after going to bed, even if I was exhausted.

    Your symptoms may be similar, or much different, but I'm sure you'll agree, it is the effects of menopause, or menopause symptoms, that truly cause difficulties during this stage of our lives.

    There is Good News!

    Menopause natural remedies truly work. In fact, these natural remedies for menopause can provide natural menopause relief that will make you almost forget you truly had menopause symptoms that interfered with your life.

    If I tried to take each symptom, define it, and give the natural remedy that works best, this page would turn into a book.

    So instead, I'll write individual pages for each symptom that will give those details. I've already done some pages.

    Just click on the links for the symptom you're struggling with to go to the specific page that deals with that symptom, or collection of symptoms.

    Using menopause treatments such as vitamins, supplements, or bio-identical hormones can provide natural remedies so your symptoms can quit interfering with your life.
