I am 54 and was 8 months period free and into the glorious hot flashes, night sweats stage, when at age 52 I was in a near fatal accident which involved, among other injuries, multiple fractures of the pelvis and lower spine. During the two year recovery time I had no symptoms of any kind, nor a period. Two years later and suddenly my breast are enlarged and tender, the menopot is developing and I'm starting to get faint hot flashes. The sympydont seem to add up. And why now? I thought I was home free, one of the very few upsides to the accident.
