Hi!
I'm a mum, wife and carer - I'm also 47 and peri menopausal and have been suffering in silence for the past couple of years.
When I reached breaking point, and knew I wasn't well I finally went to see my GP and she put me on HRT.
I still feel like I'm struggling, everything about me seems to have changed (physically, mentally and emotionally) over the past 2 years, and I don't know if I'll ever feel 'right' again.
I have read through some posts, and it has given me hope - so many things I can identify with! So I look forward to learning more and hopefully improving things.
It feels good to know I am not going through this alone :)

Hi. Never alone on here :welcomemm: ........
It's The Change - does what is says on the tin >:( ::)
Some ladies find that keeping a mood/symptom/food diary useful. Gentle regular exercise. Lots of 'me' time ;-). Some become sensitive to alcohol and foods, usually things that we like.
HORMONES >:(. if you put your symptom into the search box you will find threads - make notes. Do read those on vaginal atrophy too.

Thank you :)
I shall definitely keep a diary and take notes, when they call it the change they really mean it don't they.. :-\
I've heard of 'me' time but haven't managed to find it just yet, a bit like loo roll.. ;D
Thank you again for the advice
