Hi, I'm Helen.
I was told after years of infertility that I would likely go through 'early menopause' and I am now 43 and haven't had a period for 3 months. I have been suffering with very poor concentration, anxiety, broken sleep and lots of aches and niggly pains, which I just put down to 'getting older'.
The anxiety got worse recently when I had a sort of panic attack and was off work. My GP did a load of blood tests among which were hormone tests and it turns out the tests show I am going through 'the change' (not sure why my GP didn't use the word menopause
). Anyway, I am hoping I will be able to get something to help with the terrible 'brain fog', sleepless nights and anxiety. I am also concerned about osteoporosis - I believe the NICE guidelines recommend HRT for women under 45 going through menopause so will see what my GP says at my next appointment.
Have read a few threads on here, off to read some more.
