Hi Everyone,
I'm either in perimenopause or menopause as I haven't had a period since January this year. My main symptoms are dizziness, anxiety and low mood. I'm reluctant to go on HRT, unless I can get it in a patch form (oestrogen/progesterone combo), because it's full of chemicals, I'm worried that I may not be able to wean myself off of it and that I won't know when my periods have ceased for good because the progesterone part causes bleeds. With HRT, one wouldn't know when they've reached menopause unless it's surgical menopause. I don't feel comfortable not being able to know when my period will cease for good. I am currently taking some Bach flower drops but I don't know if it will help me in the long term because I'm on my 2nd bottle, just started, and I'm not sure if it's working because it doesn't stop me from feeling weepy and anxious at times. Has anyone tried Bach Flowers? I also use Bach Flower Remedies and tey provide comfort and reassurance but it's only for the short term. Or have you tried anything that helps with these particular symptoms? Does red clover work? I'm looking for something that will help in the long term. Your advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
Karine
