Hello Ladies,
I'm Jules and have been going through the menopause for the last 4 years, but only over the last year and a half has it really kicked in ! Sorry this might go on a bit !
I was on a combined HRT but came off 3 months ago and am now trying Menopace, now on my 18th day and have to say I am noticing a distinct improvement in my moods!
I have been going through a very rough period with mood swings & irrational thoughts to the point that I nearly walked out of my relationship!
My focus at work diminished, found it difficult to concentrate and I was tired all the time, which made me feel so low. I felt unloved by my partner, thought he didn't understand what I was going through and generally felt sorry for myself!
Then I came across this site as I knew I had to do something and I couldn't be the only female who was feeling like this, glad to say I'm normal in that sense!
Well as normal as it can be for a menopausal lady!!
All the things that have been happening are what most of us are experiencing and I feel better just knowing that I'm not actually losing my mind, (which I thought I was!) but this is the menopause affecting my emotional state!
Anyway what I'd like to ask is this..... I'm on the menopace original and although it's still early days, would I be better on the menopace plus?
I get nights sweats, loss of appetite, no sex drive, irritability swings etc. etc. I just want to be "me" again but feel along way off from it, any advice or feedback how others cope with this would be welcome, I am trying so hard to be positive but the truth is some days I just feel like giving up and can't be assed, is this normal?
