Hi
I just want to say, a huge thank you for This, I can't believe I've had all these symptoms & more for years ! I finally plucked up the courage a couple of weeks ago to contact my GP - I listed all my symptoms in an email. I had blood tests which identified menopause & also at risk of diabetes (which has stumped me, being stick thin & fit but that's another story) as well as having years of These symptoms, not really talking about it & genuinely thinking I ultimately had some life threatening illness, I have a husband who's had to live with me not knowing what's going on & Has passed comments such as 'snap out of it? ?what's up with you? etc etc, but in his defence He didn't know what was going on & neither did I ! I would often respond defensively, which would end up with a full blown argument with me screaming at the top of my voice - which genuinely isn't me !
I feel a bit stupid, because as a woman, I should Have had some idea of what was going on, I had no idea the menopause could be so destructive both physically & emotionally - although I know my mother was extremely depressed when she went through it, but kept very quiet about it.
I could go on forever,,, it feels such a relief to read all your posts/experiences/ I suddenly feel less alone.
Thank you !
