I FEEL LIKE DOC’S ARE PLAYING GUESSING GAMES PLEASE HELP MY HEART LONGS FOR A LITTLE GIRL OF MY OWN…

My mom called me today and was telling me how a couple years ago her hair started falling out and she started getting her periods every 2 weeks, she thought she was going through menopause and went to her dr. it turned out she was just really stressed. since then her periods have been every 2 weeks exactly on schedual… well her last period ended on a sat. and she got it again on the next sunday… about a week apart… this time she is bleeding REALLY heavily, soaking through tampons in about an hour, when she went to the bathroom she had a couple clots come out… She also mentioned that she felt really tired the past couple days and a little weak… i think it may be from the loss of blood. Do you think it could be menopause? Or has anyone else had this happen to them? I tried to get her to go back to the dr but she said she wont until she stops bleeding but im really worried for her. please help if you can!

I'm 47 and I've been premenopausal for 4 years or more, periods still are regular, hair loss during this time, yikes. Anxiety is high and weight loss going too low, which has always been a problem in my life until I went into my 40's then my weight seemed normal..but now it's going down along with my appetite.
Progressly to the point of every night, terrible night sweats, like I'm in a 450 oven, then chills…my blow dryer has been my best friend. No day time break outs.
I've tried health store products, hormone therapy nothing takes these night sweats away. Quality of life has become disabiling daily.
I surprisingly found out that if I drink alcohol at night time, like five beers, I don't sweat. I know this is not recommend but it's the only thing that has helped.
Has anyone experienced alcohol helping or am I being misdiagnosed…test for thyroid was fine.
done the shower thing and health food store remedies…
why is alcohol working, it's like it takes the liquid out of my system.

Please, I'd like answers from people who experienced this as opposed to cut and paste from medical sites

I have an appt with the doctor soon, but I am fairly sure this is what's going on (my mother, grandmother and great aunt all experienced it around 40-41 and I am 37).

My question deals with some of the symptoms…did your hot flashes usually occur shortly before periods?

Also, with hair loss…how bad was it and how much? I seem to be having the same kind of amount that I did after my son was born, but I am wondering how long that lasts and how much actually comes out!

Thinning hair, shorter cycles, shorter duration of periods, crying spells, mood swings like I have never had before, UNWANTED facial hair….and I’m in my 30’s, have had many children. Tests show I am not going through any kind of change yet my body is telling me differently. What is going on? If its not estrogen loss, what else can this be?
