Hello everyone,been lurking for a while so thought I should join in.
I'm 64 and have been post menopause for 8 years. Unfortunately just as I was past the 1 year point I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and had 10 months of chemo.
Got the all clear 😁 .Since then seemed to have lots of problems with hot flashes and night sweats, anxiety etc and difficult to know if after effects of chemo or menopause. No chance of HRT given age etc.Put up with things for the last 6 years but feeling rubbish was getting me down so went to GP. Sympathetic but no answer except try ADs. Reluctantly started citalopram and after a rough few weeks they seem to be helping somewhat. Still think problems are menopause related when I read so many of you ladies are still experiencing symptoms years after periods have stopped.GPs seem to be reluctant to acknowledge anything to do with menopause and want to find another reason-anxiety etc but reading posts on here has led me to see that so many problems
at this time of life can be attributed to hormones and that I am not imagining it all so thank you to all you lovely ladies.
