Menopause-like symptoms after all this time may be an indication of adrenal stress rather than hormonal. In this situation it is very important to do supportive work for the adrenals such as a high strength multivit with extra magnesium, liquorice tea can be helpful as well. I would also suggest acupuncture, it can be very effective for adrenal stress. Studies have shown that daily relaxation can reduce symptoms quickly so make 30 min relaxation a day a priority. Check your diet too, avoid caffeine and high salt and sugar foods as these can all trigger the adrenals contributing to symptoms. Low vitamin D can often cause similar symptoms so it may be worth asking your doctor to test for this just to rule it out.
