[CLKD]

12 months since the last bleed is considered on the way to menopause (cessation of periods). Some ladies however get caught out as the ovaries have a final fling!  Any bleed after 12-15 months without a period should be checked by a GP.  Mine waxed.  And waned.  Came and went.  Then  gone ...........

Apart from VA I have been fine, any joint aches and pains is usually self inflicted [? are usually  ] and treated with 'nurofen' successfully.  Sciatica is relieved by a brisk walk on hard surfaces.

Do make sure that you sit correctly, wear suitable footwear etc. etc. etc.

CLKD,  how often did your periods come and go like this?  Did you have, for example, no periods for six months at a time and they came back?  If so,  how many times did this happen?

For 3-4 years over all.  Miss a few bleeds.  Then a succession of 'on time' periods, normal flow without the dreadful pain. Then a gap. Which varied.  I was nursing 4 sick pets at the time so didn't really notice until ........ nowt.

I knew it was The Change so it never bothered me.
