Hi
I am new to this group aged 60 last month but have been struggling for many years with menopause symptoms. I had full hysterectomy aged 32 but with my ovaries left in due to cervical cancer. I also had spinal surgery the previous year, and then 2 more ops within the next 3 years.
HRT was prescribed due to osteoarthritis etc which I took for 10 years. Then was recommended to stop due to age.. I joined a gym and became much fitter and went back to work full time... 2 years ago all symptoms stared up again far worse than ever before. I have gained weight despite being at gym every day and slimming world, but more importantly the hot flushes are the worst, lack of sleep and general depression about the whole thing is driving me insane.....
any ideas for help as GP is useless... tried other pills but felt so low had to stop them as I work so just couldn't cope.
Has anyone had success with diet changes? Or the Biohormonal drugs?
