hi everyone, lovely to find you all here. Menopause can be a strangely lonely experience, even though we all go through it! I have only one problem (which I appreciate makes me lucky in many ways), but it is HUGE! The problem is have is RAGE
. I have always had really bad moodswings when premenstrual, and have struggled with my temper generally, but now my cycle is shorter and unpredictable, and the moodswings now take the form of extreme, uncontrollable anger
After the last week in which I got close to losing my husband for good, I have gone to the GP and he has put me on Estelle Duet 1 mg. 3 days in and so far so good, but then i would be good anyway as have just started my period. I am very worried about what will happen when I get to the green pills (with progresterone)... Luckily my husband will be out of the country then
!
I am 51, fit and healthy, good diet, stopped drinking alcohol just over 2 months ago (hasn't helped), have 1 coffee a day...
Would love to hear from anyone else for whom mood swings, and in particular rage, has been a problem, and what you have tried so far to help with that! Thanks
