Hi everyone.
I've started my menopause at 49 following on from breast cancer last year. I'm now on hormone therapy which has caused the menopause.
I feel different, firstly from chemo and losing my hair and now the feeling of who am I, I don't feel the same any more and dreading what else this menopause will throw at me.
I have extremely stiff joints when getting up which wears off when mobile.
I get mild hot flushes in the evening.
I feel very emotional.
I've put on weight during all my treatment last year. (Starting slimming world on Friday).
I have lost sex drive and sex does feel different.
I'm dreading going back to work this Tuesday after a year off.
I get intense itching on my hands and feet.
I can't think of anything else at the moment. Maybe I'll feel better when I lose some weight and my hair grows 😊
