Hi I am a new member to this site. I am 49yrs and I'm in the peri menopause. I was getting no where with my gp because I'm still having periods so gp said I couldn't be menopausal. I've been off work for 5 months as I hit a brick wall with the symptoms and just couldn't function. I am low mood, negative thoughts, crying over nothing, night sweats, greasy hair, anxiety really bad and I have a period every 2 weeks when the flooding is so bad I can't leave the house. So I paid out of my savings to see a consultant privately and she has confirmed that I have been peri for years. I had a biopsy under general of the
endocrine lining and it came back negative and the consultant could find no other problems. As I take meds each day to control a silent migraine she has advised the following treatment plan. That I have an injection Zoladex 3.6mg every 4 weeks so that I don't have a period and I take a tablet Tibolone 2.5mg to deal with the side effects of stopping the periods. Must admit initially I was hopeful of this but there are so many bad stories on the net about the injection I'm now worried about having it. If anyone is on this treatment plan and having good results I'd love to hear your positive experience. I know everyone is different but I really need to get back to work and can't risk feeling worse than I do now, which is pretty bad.
