Spouse Stress/Anxiety Condition

[brymoore]

I have a degree in economics so take that as no idea medically. My wife is a nurse.

When she hit menopause, the circus began. Swinging emotions, terrible sleep and a long list of other symptoms. She finally decided to go on hormones and the circus stooped. Level emotions, good sleep etc. After a while, the circus began again and I quietly asked if the hormones were working. After a rant, she said she would see her doc. The dose needed bumped and she’s mostly back to normal.

I just asked her if she’ll need it rest of her life, she said maybe.

I don’t know if this applies but maybe @Zim.

Try getting hormones checked AND do something called Genomind testing. My wife went rounds with doc's, perscriptions and everything you are likely going through. It wasn't until we did these two things and found the right specialists that she turned a corner. We got lucky but she was in a very dark place for a while. I hope she and you find the right help!

Did they rule out any crazy hormone stuff from menopause? That's always a fun time for both spouses....

This...and for other reasons...I would ask if a full medical evaluation has been done?

Turned out he was in stage 3 of an agressive brain tumor.

Coworker who is around 60, very fit and healthy, started having issues several months ago they thought might be pancriatitis or pancreatic cancer, took a while to figure out it's a brain tumor, still TBD if it's treatable. It can definitely show in different and strange ways and not usually one of the first things looked for.
