My periods have stopped!!

[grade1nutty]

I have just turned 46, I have had night sweets for the past 12 years, since my youngest was born.I have been under a lot of stress in the last 12mths, I have put on weight and I am finding it very difficult to lose.

I also have got bladder problems and very loose stools, to the put of, thinking I am wetting myself BUT its diarrhoea, like water.I am also getting a lot of headaches, and could sleep the clock round.I just feel awful.Could it just be stress.

Apart from all the symptoms of going through the menopause, it does sound like you need to visit your GP for advice on all your other ailments.

I do hope you will be feeling much better soon grad1nutty.

I agree, nearly all of the symptoms sound menopausal, but the diarrhoea thing should be checked out with a GP. Sounds like you are going through a hellish time nutty and I wish you all the best.

Could also be irritable bowel syndrome.My friend suffers but she gets blocked up one minute and then makes a dash for it the next.Stress was the cause of hers.That and the menopause but you must see the doctor.
