Hi there I agree it can be a challenging time and here's what I've found out to help combat some symptoms:
1) Hormones: Get checked – get info aboutalternatives - if not HRT,  perhaps bio-identical hormones, or acupuncture helps many women.
2) Avoid aggravators - like stress, heat, alcohol, spicy food, caffeine (coffee & tea, chocolate)
3) Food- cut out or cut down quantities of sugar, white flour products, caffeine, processed foods 
4) Exercise - all weight bearing, yoga, pilates, walking, dancing, build up bone density 
5) Increase Pleasure (including Sex!) - more self-care,  body work (massage), orgasm; dancing
6) Rest and Time Alone - alleviates symptoms andreduces fatigue/adrenal exhaustion
7) Meditation - Benefits for menopause documented; shrinks brain amgdala (stress anxiety) , hippocampus (memory and concentration) enlarges 
8) Find Female Community and share stories  - oxytocin is released listening to other women’s stories &normalises our experience

I hope this helps and if you want more ideas - please get my Free Report at http:/www.themidlifemidwife.com
