Hello There,
I can equate what all of you are saying (bloody hormones)!
As I get older, I could write a book with the numerous meno symptoms and sometimes I feel as if I'm going mad!
My latest problem is palpitations, I'm 59 nearly 6 years post menopause and I hate it when people say "Really?" surely you should be finished with all that by now? Do you really truly believe those women who say they sailed through it? Probably they didn't but were afraid to admit it!
I find that even after all this time, I still have a cycle of sorts in that, at certain periods of the month is't like my old friend, PMT paying me a visit and I become totally irrational and very, very anxious. Then the palpitations start and the more I panic about them, the worse they get!
I'm not on any medication, feel as if I have come far on my post meno journey that I don't want to start taking HRT now. I am interested in the magnesium glycinate supplement and will ask my doctor about that.
it's good to hear from like minded women like you lot who can be honest and open about how crappy they feel. In my experience, doctors these days are reaching for the prescription pad before you can say menopause and think anti depressants are the answer, they are not.
I honestly feel that my oestregen levels must be at rock bottom by now and that in turn is making my palpitations worse.
I used to suffer from vaginal athropy but discovered the wonderful company YES. It has improved things no end!
