Hi There, I am 66 years old and have never been on HRT. Usually, I cope with my ongoing symptoms but they seem to have got worse over the past few years. I keep a note of my symptoms and I get the following at set times of each month....feelings of bloating, burping, shivery, nauseaus, weepy, creepy crawly feeling/tingling in my legs and anxiety. I am convinced that it´s all due to hormonal shifts/low oestregen at certain time of the month, almost like a phantom period. My GP who is lovely and only 44 seems to think that because I started post menopause age 52 that I should be well past any post menopausal symptoms....wrong! I also think that GP´s are woefully untrained on all things menopause and I am going to ask her to be referred to an endocrinologist who can check me out. Do any of you, feel as if you are going mad? I certainly do as it´s like banging my head against a brick wall.
