Dear Hurdity,
thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it.
What a fantastic forum this is - a safe harbour from the tempest that is menopause. To know there is a place to share information and experiences of what is, I'm discovering, a tricky time is a relief. I've never experienced owt like it.
Anyway, I put the first patch on yesterday and I do feel a tad calmer but something strange happened today. I started garbling at strangers in a supermarket - quite enthusiastically! Also, my period has simmered down. Normally I would be in the heavy stage - 2 days in, but it's seems to have stopped? Would this be down to the estrogen?
Thanks again x
