Hello,
Just reporting back after my couple of weeks of misery hormone wise. Well, another period came and brought back some sanity and some much needed sleep. I have an appointment with my GP this coming week and I want to start a conversation re HRT. Just to recap, I am 53, my periods had stopped for 6 months and I was feeling fine'ish and then I had two periods of severe PMS followed by periods, in the last 6 weeks. The PMS was horrendous - couldn't think straight, very anxious and severe lack of sleep. I have started taking St John's Wort but I am not sure it is making me feel better as I had already started to feel better anyway. I do not want to be going through another PMS/period cycle as I have to keep going at work - no sick pay and a husband who is off sick due to a heart attack.Even without all that , who wants to feel like that month after month? What are my options? To go on the pill? That would rule out he PMS/period. Long cycle HRT? Not really sure what that is. What type of HRT? I am concerned my GP may want to go down the anti depressant route but I definitely feel that my issues are hormonal.
