I don't think any amount of exercise will shift it so just have to except it, and keep going. Why can't our bodies just go through menopause and leave the rest of our body as it is gggrrrr. In my 5 month of no period and feeling a lot better than I have been the last 3 years especially the foggy head feeling that is so horrible, I'm now hoping that at least I'm coming towards the end of peri. Whoop whoop. I can deal with aches and pains and after an endoscopy now know I have a small hiatus hernia and a lax stomache to go with my lax skin lol. Damn you hormones. Anxiety has seemed to sort of disappeared which is fantastic, ok maybe the odd blip but not 24/7 like it used to be. Restless legs not to bad, acid reflux is now contained with gaviscon if and when needed, I came off the lansoprazole as it was suppressing my appetite, now I have one back again, so hopefully this time next year I will be through it without having a nervous breakdown. Oh what a journey it has been. But it does get better eventually. Hhhhoooorrraaaaahhhhhhhhh xxxxx
