These are just a few of the 34 symptoms of menupause. You don’t have to suffer.

You’re lying in bed in totally soaked through pajamas. Hello, night sweats. Estrogen helps tell our brain how to regulate our internal thermometer. As our levels fluctuate during perimenopause and menopause, our “thermoneutral zone” narrows, prompting our body’s thermostat to overreact to the slightest change in temperature.

You can meditate, buy breathable sheets, and change your diet. But for most women, the most effective treatment calls for recalibrating your hormones.

What can you do?

Night Sweats

Hot flashes and night sweats are two of the most common symptoms of menopause. They can last from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, occurring as often as 8 times a night, and continue for as long as 12 years.

Is this normal?

For some of us, the emotionally bumpy ride that is menopause comes complete with mood swings that have you blubbering one minute, pissed off over dishes left in the sink (again!) the next, and having a full-blown panic attack over thoughts you were once able to manage more easily.

Eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep, and practicing mindfulness and stress management can all help. As with many symptoms related to menopause, balancing your hormones is key to regaining your emotional stability.

Mood Swings

Completely. Your estrogen levels are fluctuating wildly. Think of it as puberty in reverse. So if you’re feeling blue, panicked or unstable of late, know that you’re not alone.

The hot, prickly feeling in your chest and neck? That's a hot flash. Estrogen helps tell our brain how to regulate our internal thermometer. As our levels fluctuate during menopause, our "thermoneutral zone" narrows, prompting our body’s thermostat to overreact to the slightest change in temperature.

You can meditate, carry a fan, and change your diet. But for most women, the most effective treatment calls for supplementing your body’s natural estrogen.

Hot Flashes

You betcha. Hot flashes are one of the most common symptom of menopause. They can last from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, happen from 3 to 35 times a day, and continue for as long as 12 years.

As we age, we lose muscle mass and deposit more fat, and fat is less metabolically active than muscle. So, even with the same calories and same exercise routine, you still gain weight. When you add disrupted sleep, increased stress and hot flashes, it’s no wonder we’re packing a few extra pounds.

Think “healthy” weight, not “ideal” weight. Eat more lean protein, fewer carbs. Drink lots of water, and maybe skip that second glass of wine. Try to move every day (yoga, bike rides, walks with friends). Experts agree that a healthy microbiome can help with digestion and bloat.

Weight Gain

Totally normal! Don’t torture yourself, but keep an eye on it. Extra pounds around the middle put us at risk for heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and arthritis.

You’re tossing and turning and suddenly that early bedtime you planned for is no longer in the cards. Or, maybe you did fall asleep early but it’s now 3:00am and you’re wide awake. Or you’re up at changing your pajamas and the sheets because you’ve had a dreaded night sweat. Sound familiar?

You can stack the deck in your favor by exercising, skipping that cup of coffee in the afternoon and evening, and avoiding alcohol. You can also practice good “sleep hygiene.” Keep your room clean, dark (invest in a set of blackout shades!), and cool. Try not to use your phone or watch TV too close to bedtime. And start to wind down 30 minutes before you go to sleep. You can also try menopausal hormone treatment, which can help with a variety of your symptoms that are keeping you up.

Trouble With Sleep

Unfortunately, it’s totally normal. Up to 95% of menopausal women experience difficulty sleeping.

Painful, achy joints primarily in the knees, hips and shoulders is a very common complaint after menopause. Estrogen binds directly to estrogen receptors on tissues in the joints. (Yes, estrogen receptors are everywhere!) The presence of estrogen is thought to have a protective effect in the joints.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Switch to low-impact exercise (such as biking, swimming, or yoga). And did you know that women who take estrogen after menopause report significantly less joint pain?

Joint Pain

Yep. Given that estrogen levels fall significantly after menopause, it makes sense that joint pain and stiffness increase.

You’re not losing your mind. Brain fog is real. Studies have found that memory function and estrogen levels are closely related — as in when a woman’s estrogen (specifically estradiol) drops, so does her cognitive function.

Brain fog improves once our hormones settle down. But until then, a healthy diet, sleep and exercise are key to keeping your brain synapses firing. So is managing your hormones.

Brain Fog

Totally. Wait, what were we talking about? Seriously, though– brain fog is reported by many, many menopausal women. (And maybe the rest of them just forgot?!)

OF WOMEN IN MENOPAUSE FEEL FORGETFUL

There’s sleepy, there’s tired, and then there’s fatigue — as in, you wish you were energetic enough to consider yourself exhausted. For many of us, menopause fatigue goes beyond the worn out feeling that came with college all-nighters, sleepless nights as new parents, or stressful careers.

Practice good ‘sleep hygiene.’ Keep a consistent routine, remove phones from your bedroom, keep the room cool and dark, and buy breathable cotton sheets. It’s also important to treat those night sweats with hormones.

Fatigue

The majority of women in menopause or perimenopause complain of fatigue. Insomnia, night sweats, the need to pee in the middle of the night, and hormonal changes are all to blame.

During menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels drop more quickly than testosterone levels. What happens with this unbalanced testosterone? You can start to lose hair where you want it and grow it where you don’t. That can mean thinning hair, pesky chin hairs and mustaches.

Foods high in omega-3 fatty acids may help with menopausal hair loss. For chin hairs, it’s time to invest in a great pair of tweezers! Hormones also have a role to play here.

Hair Loss

As many as two-thirds of post-menopausal women report hair loss. It’s totally normal, and incredibly stressful for many women.

OF WOMEN EXPERIENCE HAIR LOSS DURING MENOPAUSE

Your hormones change during menopause. Estrogen and progesterone decline, which influences a number of brain chemicals like “calming” GABA, “rewarding” dopamine, “energizing” norepinephrine, and “mood boosting” serotonin. When your hormones change, so do these other brain chemicals, causing menopausal symptoms like anger and irritability.

Stop, sit, breathe, and take stock of what’s going on. Write down what you’re feeling. Talk it out with friends or seek a support group. Speak to a doctor about how you’re feeling. And most importantly, don’t suffer alone.

Menopause Irritability

Hell yes. During perimenopause and menopause, irritability, sadness, anger, or anxiety — or swinging from one emotional zone to another — are very real.
