A real cry from the heart and would love to hear back.
Started getting ridiculous night sweats at the age of 42. Did not occur to me that this would be the menopause. I had always suffered badly with my periods, with mood swings, tiredness, water retention etc so many symptoms would have been masked.
Periods became less regular for many years, which was my cue to the fact I was winding down. The symptoms became increasingly torrid, I have real difficulties in finding the best HRT as my body reacts very violently with nasty side effects very quickly. I am now 53 and night sweats have made a unwelcome comeback. Not the reunion any one would want.
So that is it, and I want to know what is a reliable way to tell when it is coming to the end. Signs etc, and do I get a medal and a prize for survivinng???
