Hello
Went through your post as mentioned in your post your age is fifty and had no period for one year in addition you have hot flushs, and have easyfatigubility, there is no doubt that you have started post menopausal stage, however you need some blood tests like TSH, CBC to look for cause of easyfatigubility as it is usually not caused by menopause.
