Hi
Thanks for your reply
I am 48 years old , I would say this all started about six years ago with pretty minor symptoms really ,little bit of insomnia, tiredness ,weight gain around the middle of about a stone and a half which I couldn't shift , but since January is taking a big turn for the worse. I don't really have problems with my periods, they have got lighter and shorter, I have missed a couple over a year but nothing major. I am actually hot most of the time I have an occasional flush but it's not been anything bad ,the worst of the symptoms are all around anxiety, headache , Brain fog and fatigue . I feel like my body and mind have been taken over...
My GP wasn't sure what was wrong with me and thought my symptoms were too severe to be menopausal and so arranged for an appointment with an endocrinologist which is next week which I am going to keep. however , whilst waiting seven weeks for the appointment I went to see the menopause clinic and a consultant there thought I was peri and would benefit from hrt for most of the symptoms . Here's hoping eh!!
