Hi Everyone
I'm a newbie! I'm looking forward to hearing about others' experiences, to help me on this difficult journey, and hope that I can help others by sharing my experiences.
I'm 57, and appear to have stopped periods a few months ago, after having the Mirena Coil fitted. I was peri-menopausal for many years, and started on HRT just under 6 years ago. I've had many changes to my HRT, but am now using Evorel patches in conjunction with the coil. HRT has eased my symptoms, but not eliminated them.
When I get very tired, my symptoms can flare-up. For the past week or so, I've been struggling with feeling very achey all over, plus hormonal-type headaches. It's made me feel ropey, so work has been a bit of a challenge. Does anyone else get flare-ups of symptoms as a result of excessive tiredness caused by daily life? Do you find exercise helps, even when your body doesn't feel like it? I play tennis a couple of times a week, and I walk most days, so not sure whether to reduce this a bit when I'm feeling meno-grotty, or whether to keep it up as normal? Looking forward to hearing from some of you.
