i am a 48 year old female in generally good health. lately though i have not been felling well. i had a hysterectomy when i was 35 years old. i have been tired and my hands hurt and when i wake up int he morning it feels like they are asleep. i go from being hot to cold and feel as if i have the flu but it comes and goes sometimes in an instant. i thought my symptoms were due to menopause but i am beginning to think there is something more going on. i have put on weight and it seems like i am hungrier than normal. i get the urge to go to the bathroom and it comes on suddenly and sometimes i cant hardly hold myself until i get to the bathroom. i also feel very anxious at times. i do not take any medications. any ideas?
