Hello,
My name is Lily, I turned 50 last December. After a huge exacerbation of my perimenopausal symptoms in the last couple of weeks, I was prompted to do some research into menopause, rather than just carry on thinking it was just when periods stopped?!! How stupid was I. After looking at the list of symptoms on the NHS website, of which I have a complete set, I realised that this whole thing is so much bigger than that. I have also today found this wonderful site with so much help and information. I have just watched The insiders Guide to menopause which made me cry with absolute relief! I am not a basket case after all...and I'm resuming the HRT.
This week, I have hardly recognised myself and have not left my Village for a week. After finding out all this information and reading the posts of other members, my confidence has been restored and I'm off to buy dog food!
Bye for now x
