Hello,

Someone here suggested that if you're still having periods your symptoms might be less as there's still some oestrogen activity.  So does this mean that we get symptoms because our hormones are and low and this is not because they fluctuate?

Hi. It was me who mentioned that.

I meant to say that some symptoms caused by the fluctuating hormones of peri will gradually fade once periods finally cease but the other symptoms such as vaginal dryness, hot sweats, insomnia, lacklustre hair, dull skin, fatigue, muscle pain etc can worsen as oestrogen levels drop. Everyone is different. I'm the only one of my close group of friends who has needed HRT and my best friend has never had any flushes, sweats, insomnia etc. Her regular periods just stopped aged 53 with no warning. She still has her amazing energy and weighs the same 8 stone as she did aged 18. She's 66 now so there is always hope!
