I had a full hysterectomy 10 years ago and took HRT for a little while. I haven't taken anything in probably 8 years. Over the last 6 months or so I'm having hot flashes again, irritable and moody, crying, anxious, can't focus or concentrate. Ugh!
I've read conflicting things on the internet but could I be going through menopause again?? Or could it be something else? I'm 45 years old. I have an appointment with my dr next week. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I have been through several cycles of menopause symptoms. It can be miserable to wake up to all of that again. For me, I became aware that Hashimoto's thyroiditis symptoms are the same misery as menopause. Your doctor may need to check your thyroid. I hope you get some relief.

Do you still have your ovaries? A full hysterectomy means different things to different people, so just clarifying that.

Menopause symptoms can also come from weight loss. When I lost a lot of weight, I felt like I was going through the change all over again. Hormones are stored in our fat, so when we start burning through that fat, the hormones are released (then dry up).
Good point by other posters - a lot of different things can cause symptoms similar to the change. Vit deficiencies can also cause many of the symptoms listed. Good thing you are seeing your doctor.
