Oh you poor dear!
God bless you as you try to keep your head above those swiftly-changing, turbulent, mysterious waters!!! (and God bless your FAMILY too, LOL)

So sorry for all these unpleasant issues. Have you spoken to a dietitian -- maybe your insurance would cover it? I know that there must be some natural ways to deal with all that (although hopefully you've been told to stay away from soy which some people would say you should use for menopausal symptoms). Praying for you guys.

Pray the rosary!
