I believe many, many women start menopause much earlier than the docs believe. I was in my early forties and had the symptoms you described. They did nothing because my blood tests showed nothing. Its slowly being recognized as "peri-menopause", which can last for years before it shows up in any blood test and it is NOT being given the attention and research it deserves. Hooray for you for persuing it and finding something that works for you. Youve done a lot of women a great service by posting this information!!! I hope it gets read by those going through what you did. Many thanks, Melodie
