I have not had a period in almost 3 years. At first I didn't miss it but slowly things started drifting away. Each day is a struggle. I have sugar cravings, lack of sleep, hot flashes, mood swings, and lack of energy. I have started taking Estrogen and it has helped a little but I still feel like I am in this gray pea-soup like fog. Every move is an effort. I feel like I am out of control and spinning in circles. Help I am only 27. My doctor says that I am not pre-menoposal.. and just gave me estrogen and told me to see him in three months. I can't wait another three months. Each day something more slips by me. help
