Hi and hello 👋

Can you tell us how old you are? Where you are in menopause? What your symptoms are? X

[Labelle]

Hi
I am 52 - literally just started. I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago so no periods so I may have been having few small symptoms for a while but didnt notice. But then without warning a month ago I have gone like a steam train bang into it the full works ... I am not getting night sweats but really hot flushes during the day... but the things that have hit me hard are the tears I cant stop crying and the tiredness I am exhausted all the time.
Joint pains. I have never been thin but have always managed to maintain my weight but I am ballooning and I am not overeating ... I think it is the exhaustion that I am finding the worst thing and just the feeling of not being me anymore x

Exhaustion was my worst problem. I was unable to do anything.

You need oestrogen in the form of gel, patch or pill. That should sort out your problems .

[Dotty]

You need to see your GP for hrt.

As the others have said please see your GP re HRT and hopefully you'll soon be feeling more like yourself.

Some ladies find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary useful.  How is your diet and exercise regime over-all?  Which symptom would you like to ease first.
