I started 4 years ago. Within about 2 months I had a whole bunch of symptoms crop up - hot flashes, night sweats, breast tenderness, brain fog and terrible forgetfulness (so bad my doctor had me screened for dementia), anxiety got worse, nausea, light headedness, and digestive upset after eating things with garlic or tomatoes in them. I didn’t notice it right away but my gums and teeth are definitely worse now too.

I’ve been mostly sucking it up and dealing with it on my own, because there aren’t a lot of options for doctors around me. My own doctor has acknowledged I’m in the right age range, but just keeps shrugging it off as though there isn’t anything to be done but endure it.
