Hi everyone!
I'm 53 years old and had my last period in June/July 2015 (yay!) I'd had horrendous periods for about 5 years previous to them stopping and my GP was always saying I was anemic but couldn't work out why
I've been quite lucky so far I think. Can't take HRT because I get migraines so I could end up having a stroke but I'm fine with that. I take folic acid and sage supplements and they seem to help control my wonderful hot flushes.
But the past 2-3 months I've been feeling hormonal roughly once a month, usual stuff, eating for England, feeling irritable and headachy etc. I also get constipated. I did all through my productive years and have done with this surge. I've also had a bit of spotting which I put down to the constipation and trying to go. Anyway I've been to see the GP today and she's sending me for swabs and then possibly an ultrasound. Trouble is I also suffer from anxiety so now I'm stressing.
Googling my symptoms led me here and I'm so glad I've found this forum. I know we all go through this but it's great to have somewhere to all get together. I'm looking forward to meeting you all and hopefully being some help, as a couple of the threads I've read so far have calmed me down and id like to think at some point I can help someone too!
