Sounds like what my mom went through, but again it could be a number of things. There are numerous websites devoted to menopause and even a musical called "menopause the musical" playing on the west coast.
Try http://www.medicinenet.com/menopause/article.htm
this has lots of information about symptoms.

althgouh this sounds typical of the change, there could be a number of reasons for your symptoms, i would reccomend asking a doctor. Not a load of strangers like us. He/she will be able to give you a proper diagnosis and help with whatever the result is.
Good luck

Meet perimenopause. That would be that 10 year(or so) period(pardon the pun) before menopause(the exact moment you release that last egg).
Go have a look at powersurge.com. You will have all your questions answered there...

Sounds like a lot of symptoms of 'the change' as you put it. You can be checked at your doctor to see if your hormone levels are fluctuating or low, which should clear it up for you.

I think it's when you stop having periods. You are too young to be going through the change generallly. Sorry you have having so much trouble.

It's not impossible - I'm experiencing something similar. I see a homoeopath, which helps & she actually describes me as peri-menopausal - changes leading up to the menopause.
