Hi, I have had really bad perimenopause symptoms for about 3 years. The worst symptoms are anxiety, vertigo and IBS. In April it was horrific had a massive panic attack which ended in a trip to A&E. After another trip to the Doctor I was given HRT, didn't take it straight away because I was waiting for a colposcopy appointment for a abnormal smear. It took 5 weeks for the appointment (all was fine) ........ in the time it took I started to feel better didn't have periods, no anxiety bowels were better. So thought I was coming out the other side. Had felt fine for months no periods at all only thing was I was getting hot flushes which I had never had before. I didn't mind because the rest of the symptoms had gone which were horrendous, sometimes unable to leave the house. So I never took the HRT because I thought I was through the worst of it...... Until 6 weeks ago,,,,,the bloated stomach, the IBS, the vertigo then a light period which last over two weeks. Now this week my vertigo/dizziness have been off the scale then today a period and its quite heavy. .......Do any of you think it might be just a hiccup or are my symptoms all back till God knows when......don't want to start the HRT if I am coming through the other side........Any advice would be greatly appreciated xxxxxx
