Hi Valsmart. Although I had period issues and some vaginal dryness off and on for a few years, my world came crashing down with the anxiety last year. Menopause could certainly be causing your issues.
Is your doctor running a TSH test or an FSH test? The TSH is to check thyroid function. I don't believe thyroid is known to contribute to vaginal dryness, but it sure can cause dry skin and hair and eyes, so I suppose it could. Thyroid could definitely affect anxiety in my experience.
The FSH test can be used to check for menopause, but it's not definitive. Women in perimenopause (the hell before menopause) can test as either post-menopausal or perfectly normal, depending on when the test is taken and what the wild hormones are doing at the particular time.
So, if the doctor is checking your thyroid, I would wait to see those results first. If that's out of order, you'll want to get that sorted. If your thyroid checks out fine, then I would pursue hormone replacement therapy. You can do this in pills, patches, or gel. There is is tab somewhere on this website with info about different hrt options (sorry, I can't remember exactly where to click to get there). Dig around and you'll find it.
Meantime, hang in there. This is all normal for this stage of life.
