Hi. I'm new to the site and new to using any kind of forum so apologies if I make any stupid mistakes. The website looks great for information but I've still s lot to look through. Just wanted to talk to real people going through the same cos sometimes i am doubting my sanity! I'm 51 and think I'm menopausal. I've had some symptoms for past couple of years but seem to be worse last 6 months. It's the psychological side that is worst for me. Mood swings from nowhere and I hate myself for the effect it has on others. I'm waiting for a referral to clinic. Hope to get to know some of you in time. x

Hello Fe68, welcome! I too am new to the forum. There are certainly plenty of women here who are very supportive and there is a wealth of experience. I hope you get the answers you need to get you through this. ❤️

Make a list of symptoms and decide which you would like to ease first.  If you type into the search box any symptom something is likely to pop up!  We talk about most things, nowt is taboo.

Makes notes.

Hi and welcome!

We get these annoying symptoms because of the fluctuating hormones at this time, as our estrogen drops. It takes time to rebalance again, but it really helps if you're taking regular exercise, eating a good balanced diet and taking good supplements.

Are you still having periods? Have you had many months of none?
This will give you an idea of where you are in your menopause. X
