Thanks for replying Dandelion.
Touch wood I have never yet had a hot flush or a night sweat. Physically I am getting away virtually Scot free with symptoms. But my Mum didn't experience any physical symptoms either. But like me suddenly started suffering with random anxiety as she entered her 40s. And as a young girl I remember her having mood swings. Being sad and tearful one moment, then an hour later laughing and giggling.
Hi
It's good you have not had flushes or night sweats, they just add to the misery for me.
Sorry to hear you have the moods.
Sometimes we can take after our mothers with meno, but I don't know who I get my genes from.
I have two sisters the same age as me, well a year and a year and a half apart, and I don't contact them very often, but my mum does and she says that they are just starting, now to get early perimenopause symptoms.
One sister doesn't want to use hrt, she wants to use mind over matter, dunno about the other sister.
My mum said no one in family, as far as she knows, started perimenopause in their early forties like I did. I must be a throw-back hahahahahh
I think that because i have always had a nervous disposition and fight-or-flight has biological process, maybe because I have always released lots of stress hormones, then this may have had an effect on my endocrine system and sparked off an early meno.
My dad was a stress-head and I kind of knew he would die with a heart attack and he did. Just goes to show how a stress-head personality, or a nervy personality like me, can affect the body, I suppose it's logical really.
I woke up and even before I woke, I felt anxious and hot. I did have two tops on last night though, a short sleeved top and as my arms got cold, a long sleeve one, so that could have made me hot.
I'm looking forward to trying the evorel 100, that dose might be my sweet spot.
The 75mcg has definitely reduced my sweats and flushes and also helped my IBS.
I'm not fully banking on it, but I hope it lifs my mood and helps me not to feel so scared all the time.
