So pleased for you, and also wanted to say a really big thank you to you Sparkle and to all the ladies on here, your help has meant so much to me and is appreciated more than words can say. I have the disease ME, and some days feel absolute rubbish, so it is hard to say what is hormones, and what isn't, but being able to talk about things so openly here has helped so much.
In an ideal world we would also have sisters close in age, or friends going through this at the exact same time in the same way, but sadly for many of us this is not the case. I am an only child, and in the last few years Mum has developed dementia, and doesn't even know who I am, let alone be able to ask my questions about menopause. My close friends were all early and under 50 having their last periods, so they are amazed at me being 55 and still in the throws of it all. I really hope I am still here in reasonable health when my daughters enter perimenopause.
This forum is so lovely, and I wish you all a calm journey on through this transition, and let's hope there is a wildflower meadow waiting for us on a sunny day just around the corner as our hormones become more stable.
