Thank goodness for this website. For the past couple of years I've known I was in the run up to menopause, but the last 4 months the symptoms have just gone into interstellar overdrive! Exhaustion, aches and pains (like flu), intense headaches that come and go, oscillating between love, anger and tearfulness ; feeling I hate my husband, and want to leave him, and then I adore (well ...like) him again. I really thought my marbles had rolled and weren't coming back. Reading comments on this site showed me that I was NOT insane...I was extremely hormonal...a normal occurrence in a women's life. Obviously the quality of my life has deteriorated somewhat and I want it back with a vengeance, so going against my usual method of investigating via a herbal way, I decided to go for the lab route. I have my pack of Femeston waiting for me to take when my period arrives. I hope it works for me, it did for my sister.
