Though the symptoms are not life-threatening, they are affecting your quality of life. The different glands in the endocrine system and the hormone they produce influence almost every cell, organ, and function of our bodies. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, and metabolism, as well as as well as sexual function and reproductive processes. By the way, did you know that Neurontin (Gabapentin) is in a class of medications called anticonvulsants. Gabapentin treats seizures by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain. Gabapentin relieves the pain of postherpetic neuralgia by changing the way the body senses pain. I cannot say if your symptoms will disappear once you have reached menopause, because I don't know if they are related to fluctuations in your estrogen and progesterone levels. Once again, I recommend an evaluation with an endocrinologist. That is what I would do if I were having symptoms that could not be linked to a definitive diagnosis. MaryannNovember 8, 2011 - 12:41pm
