I am not of the age to have this yet or for awhile but my mom and aunt have gone through perimenopause and then menopause. They did sometimes have a lack of energy. I think this can come with the changes in hormones. Does exercise help you to gain any more energy back? What is your GYN doctor like? I have a lady who is very knowledgeable about natural remedies that can help with various female problems.

Hormone replacement therapy can be very effective. Even if you don't want to start hormone replacement yet, I'd still advise going in for a complete hormone workup as well as getting your thyroid checked. Both can be done by simple blood tests. You'll want to get Estrogen, E2, testosterone, progesterone, prolactin, FSH, LH, SHBG, a thyroid cascade, total T3, and free T4.

This should tell you a lot about whether your lack of energy is due to menopause or other reasons. If you'd like, you can post the results here or PM me with them if you want someone to look them over in detail with you........


All the best,
