What do you class as post menopause?

Peri are the years leading to the last monthly period i.e. menopause.  Which we are aware of eventually, after not having a period for 12 months.

If you put any symptoms that are bothersome into the search box, U should find threads relative.

There seems a concensus generally that postmenopause goes on for much longer than is thought and symptoms may be put down to ageing and subsequently go undetected or attended to. It's also a stage in life when issues can develop which may be emotional, subtexted by depleted hormones increasingly. For me, personally, a symptom search in isolation may not reflect what is going on in postmenopause. It feels like a separate stage, personally, each stage prior having its own continuum, possibly more readily "clinically" defined earlier on. Hope that clarifies, but others might be able to help with their take on postmenopause's differing challenges? Having a section just for postmenopause could prove a useful resource for those not there yet, too?

There is already a thread on this very topic 

[Haydo]

I have found that when searching, yes, you can find the symptoms that you are looking for,  but a lot of the posts are made by peri menopausal women, and those who are at the very start of their peri menopause, and so a lot is irrelevant to the post menopausal woman.  I, personally, would say that although I have found the site very helpful, I am in my 60s and definitely post menopausal, and have probably spent far more time reading through threads than I needed to.

If there was a board specifically for post menopausal women this would be very helpful, as those of us who are post menopause have very different experiences of symptoms and their effects than those who are having periods still.  Some may have not had any real issues until they have been well into the post menopause period of their lives, so a very different take on it than women who have suffered with symptoms for years or those who have a surgically induced menopause at an even younger age.

Do you mean "Padine" starting a thread CLKD? That's quite old now, if so and has lost momentum as naturally happens on here over time. Not sure what your issue is, really, but the point of this thread was to gauge interest of which there seems to be plenty. Hope that clears things up for you.

If a thread is restarted it regains momentum - I have bumped it.

Yes please. I am 5 years post menopausal and would find it really handy.
