HELP...I STINK! I am 47 years old and have been diagnosed with menopause. I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago but my ovaries are in tact. I have had the normal hot flashing, sweating, sleeping problems, weight gain, skin problems but this new symptom is almost unbearable. I can t even stand to be in the same room with myself. Talk about lowing one s self esteem. I am the worse smelling thing I ve ever experienced. I was put on the estrogen patch and it seemed to help. Even the hot flashes and sweating subsided but it just came back with a vengeance. I have started taking pro-biotics and maca root tablets. Is this one of the many symptoms of menopause???? Help...my family hates me...even the dogs.
