Hi everyonesmum
My Mum told me that when she had the menopause that her periods just stopped and that was it. I'm pretty sure that can't be right but I had already left home by then so I have to believe what she tells me!
As for me I am peri and really irritable to put it mildly. My husband does his best to try and understand but doesn't really get it or get me, to be honest I don't get me either. I know that I'm being horrible but I can't stop myself, it's like someone else has taken over my body. I think that's the difficult thing for your family-you look the same but you're acting really weird!
It does help a lot to talk on here, and to know that I'm not going mad. I would like to have the old me back though x
