Suggest Remedy For Fatigue And Loss Of Libido In An Elderly Person

I am 52 years old, female, very active, eat healthy, have no major health issues expect I am on a thyroid pill (had Grave's disease 25 years ago and did the radio active iodine treatment to kill the gland) and I am experiencing some symptoms of major fatigue, not sleeping well and no sex drive. Am I starting menopause?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that you may be in perimenopause, this is the time period before menopause occurs.
It can lasts weeks, months or years.

Menopause is diagnosed when there is a year with no bleeding at all.

There are different peri menopausal symptoms but fatigue, difficulty sleeping and decreased libido are some of the symptoms.

I hope this helps
