So glad I have found this forum. I started with peri menopause at 38 & my periods stopped completely when I was 42. I am now 49 & my symptoms are as bad as ever. Hot flushes are horrendous at the moment. They keep stopping for a few weeks and then come back for a few months.
I have no libido at all & my hubby is finding this very difficult to accept. We have only been married for 18 months ( been together 7 years). sex just isn't on my agenda & he thinks I don't love/fancy him any more. I have read a few threads on this & am now thinking that it probably wont come back.This is very difficult to deal with.
I had breast cancer 3 years ago & had a total mastectomy & I cannot take HRT because of this.
I have also got osteoporosis in my spine, hips, legs, feet & wrists & have had 4 broken bones in the past 3 years. They think this is due to my early menopause. I have always exercised & am a part time fitness instructor so have done everything to prevent this but its still happened.
I get tired easily & I never used to. I think I am more narky & short tempered & I hate being like this as its not like me ( well maybe it is now lol).
Anyway thanks for reading ladies
