Thank you, thank you... It's good to know that I'm not alone!
Maybe feisty people in general feel menopause the worst? My eldest sister is the more laid back one, she didn't need hrt. My other sister similar to me, bossy , feisty etc, she had menopause from hell. I am also going to hell on a frequent basis. It would be interesting to find out if personalities had a bearing on severity of symptoms but then again maybe talking through my ****!

Totally feel the same about intolerance of others - but I've formed a new view on it all ....

It's not me that's becoming more intolerant - it's everyone else  :)
They now say stupid things, and do stupid things - all of which are purposefully goading me to reaction

Am now contemplating HRT too - so let me know if it helps or changes things
(and good luck!)

I have now been taking the hrt for 7 days. On day 5 I noticed I wasn't  as exhausted, not aching as much and my mood on a more even keel since I don't know when. Result! However I am getting very bloated, which I know is a side effect, but I come my body will acclimatise with time. I have read that taking the tab with food helps, but I have to take it upon waking as I will forget (as I have a history of this) to take it otherwise. HRT is certainly floating my bloat (sorry that was terrible, but irristible).

Hey CKLD... I do eat brekkie, but at work about 8.30 if not too busy otherwise I have it for dessert, after lunch.i wake up approx. 6am on a week day, (or earlier) and so I don't fancy eating but I have been gulping the tab.
TropicalVon69  - feel for you big time. I didn't notice much the first couple of days, but after about a week I've been feeling better (but with the preggie-like bloating). It feels like I have loads of trapped wind but there is no escape from the body. Stupidly wore a striped (yes, striped) bodycon dress, and took loads of rennies as I was expanding slowly and no amount of breathing in was (I felt) made a difference. I am hoping as I said earlier, that my body will get used to the hormones and settle down. Moods are better, but I have in life always been a bit of a moody, fierce bint anyway, the peri just magnified it.

Now my boobs are starting to get tender! At least I've got more energy now, but hoping the physiological side of things calm down.

My tummy has now settled down on the oestrogen part of the HRT. I've noticed that my moods are back to normal-ish and I've been upbeat! I have been taking the grey progesterone now for 2 days...husband said I've been a mare...very changeable. He's riding the dragon (his words)...
