Hi: I am menopausal too and some of your symptoms could be related to problems with iron deficiency or even a thyroid problem. It is best to see a doctor and tell him/her about your symptoms. Blood work is essential to help solve your problem. Be sure to request a ferritin test (measures iron storage protein) as most doctors WILL NOT do this test until much later on. The symptoms of being cold, apathetic and having trouble sound very much like either one these easily remedied.lately I have been antisocial and I am a very outgoing friendly person. My husband feels that I am not attacted to him any more and I have all kinds of strange symptoms. First of all the memory lose is aweful I am 41 yrs old and have always had a great memory. I am always having something go on with me lately. I have times where I am so cold and I cannot get warm for nothing. Is this common?? Also I am have joint pain in my hands neck and back. Seems that I have aged 20 years in the last few months...Suddenly it seems I am a old women falling apart with no hope in sight. I am also having alot of stomache problems....heartburn in the early hours of the morning. It wakes me up and then I can't go back to sleep.....If anyone knows of a site where symptoms are listed please send me a email.
