For the past 5 years I have alternated between no periods with flushes and all the meno symptoms for up to 8 months then all meno symptoms stop and periods return erratically for up to 6 months then off again on the no periods and flushes etc. Rollercoaster!
I am now 3 months into the no periods but raging hot flushes, slightly painful urination ( checked out last time) insomnia and just generally feeling ill. Mentally I am see sawing between feeling totally unintereted in people or anything usually when I am feeling physically yuk and then suddenly for a week or two I feel normal( relatively

)
I can't take hrt full stop and I am fed up of going to the Drs with the words " I don't know if this is menopausal but". As Dr is youngish male he can only go by textbook not personal experience

Does anyone else feel totally yuk
Have had reg blood tests ( full blood count etc plus thyroid checked every 3 months cos I am on thryoxine)
