Oh my goodness, Sickntired...a better explanation you would never find!!! Every menopausal women having trouble with a GP or clinic or going to them for the first time should go armed with this, slap it on the desk and go "don't ask me how I am...there it is!  now sort that out"!!!

That is my life for 3 years before I got sorted but actually some of it was present from a teenager through periods, the pill and  - it was all HORMONAL!  I explained it all but no one caught on EVER!

Thanks for sharing x

Oh goodness, This feels like I could have written this.

I'm seriously worried that if I tell people how I'm feeling they'll think I'm mad.

Long ago they DID think women were mad and shut them in mental institutions,still a long way to go though,Drs just aren't clued up enough and it's disgraceful
