Thank you Hurdity, I too will have a good read.
Sarahm yes I am peri-menopausal, I'm 47 and not taking any other medication. My symptoms are erratic periods with the last one lasting 21 days. My periods are really heavy too (something I've never experienced before all this started). I feel generally rubbish, really low, shattered, sometimes snappy and angry and sometimes very emotional and tearful. I feel very anti-social too which isn't like me at all and I have palpitations. What a list! I'm thankful that I haven't had any hot flushes or sweating yet. I did have anxiety but I've been taking other herbal supplements and I don't know if it's coincidence but I am less anxious.
I've had blood tests and an ultrasound scan and all is ok, just a small fibroid and a cyst on one of my ovaries which is the kind that will go away apparently. I'll have another scan in 3 months.
Are your symptoms similar? x
