Hi CuChlar, welcome to the forum, that's great that your GP recommended this website & forum, GP's generally quite ignorant in relation to most things menopause. Im 41yrs and same situation no friends who have similar issues, although recently a colleague which is good sharing thoughts/sympathy!! Read up as much as you can & it will stand you in good stead, will give you more understanding & helps when dealing with professionals. No need to be lonely on here (I joined a few months ago & it's been invaluable). x
