I am glad that I found this forum, as reading through others posts, I can see that others experience the same horrible things that I am feeling. I did go to see my GP a year ago, but was basically told that it is my age, and to get on with it, and it`ll pass.

However I am at the stage where I am thinking of going back and speaking to another GP at our practise (a male GP, as it was our female GP who was so unsympathetic..I guess she sailed through menopause!
I have always suffered with anxiety throughout my life (a born worrier) and sometimes I do wonder if I make myself worse as each new symptom makes me question whether it is to do with menopause or is it something more sinister. I find myself looking on google to see if this new symptom is one suffered in menopause by other women. I know you shouldn`t google! lol Basically the worse you feel, the more you worry about it and the harder it is to function normally..Don`t you agree? So how much of it is anxiety related and how much is actually hormonal, or do the two just go together?
At the moment mornings are my worst time. I wake up with a headache, and feel nauseous all morning..like a hangover without the booze! Unfortunately it`s not like I can try and relax as mornings are when I have to go out and muck out the horses and tend to the animals (I live on a small farm)
A good nights sleep is hit and miss..Sometimes I twitch, and buzz for hours before falling asleep, and yes I too get the adrenalin rushes that make you feel so dreadful.
Today, besides the nausea, and headache, I ache all over, and feel like someone is pinging elastic bands in my head...wierd!!
The only thing I have actually tried is Vagifem, but had to come off this as it made me feel quite dreadful. I was put on this to try and help me with stress incontinence...another thing that makes you feel low..Oh the fun of it all!

I look forwards to speaking to you all and thank you again for your support xx
