Just thought to share after a very long time not posting.
I had my last period end of 2013 and experienced all the horrors of meno prior and after that. Hot flushes, anxiety attacks, floaty and giddy feelings, breast pain, joint pain, ringing ears, dry eyes, mood swings you name it I experienced most of the common ones affecting every part of the body. The worst was VA which had me peeing countless times day and night, itchy and irritated, even had for the first time in my life UTIs, doctor was of no help prescribing antibiotics and some thrush cream (I did not have thrush). We do not have Vagifem in my country only premarin and I am not sure I would use it even if it was available. I react to most drugs and medication. Of late most these symptoms have been tapering off. I have been vigilant with diet and exercise and lots of water, positive thinking and a quieter lifestyle which minimises stress levels. I keep a low key even at my workplace. This kinda gives me a peace of mind. Fortunately my OH is also supportive. So yes my sisters-in-arms there is a possibility of coming out the other side. Keeping fingers crossed and praying for everyone to someday overcome or at least cope with this fearful and horrible part of our journey. Hang in there and god bless.
