Hi everyone

Thank you for letting me join.

I am Heidi, 51 and from Suffolk, I went through the Menopause 2 years ago and luckily have not had many adverse symptoms. Although a couple of times each year I seem to get rather bloated, adding about 5lbs to my weight and also have very sore nipples for a couple of weeks, does anyone else get this? I have been trying to find out information on those particular symptoms but can't find anything anywhere.

Thanks

Heidi

Hi Heidi and welcome to the forum.
Yes,I've had the weight gain,falling oestrogen levels mean we can't burn fat the same,especially around the middle,it's infuriating for me,I'm fairly slim but have this "belly " also re the painful nipples,again,fluctuating hormones,for about 6 months every so often mine were so so painful but again it was hitting menopause,I've not had it again since.
