Hi, new here today
« on: February 05, 2018, 09:15:01 PM »

Hi,
I've just joined the forum. I'm 49 and started with signs of perimenopause a couple of years ago. I've been on hrt for well over a year but last September I felt like I “fell off a cliff” physically and mentally, with various things including utter exhaustion, brain fog, aching joints, depression. I saw a menopause specialist recently and she has increased my hrt dose slightly.
I really hope it works, as I've been in hell since September. Having kept physically fit and healthy all my life, never smoked and hardly drink any alcohol I've been devastated that the menopause could literally destroy my mind and body like this overnight.

Hello Wilks and welcome to the forum.


Many of us have been amazed and more than a little horrified at the power of the menopause.

I'm sorry to learn that you are suffering at the moment but you have come to the right place for help  and support on your menopause journey.

I wish you well and keep posting.

Hi, Wilks I'm new here too but wanted to say I'm sorry that the menopause is affecting you so badly. None of us are prepared for how bad it can be it seems but with this forum at least we can share and all learn from each other.

Thanks for your messages. Although I wouldn't wish the menopause on my worst enemy, it helps to talk to others in the same boat  :)
