In 55, still having periods though very irregular. Was managing sort of ok with symptoms until January when nausea and anxiety kicked in and I lost the plot. Two minute consultation with my GP and I’m on Sertraline which did not agree with me to put it mildly, I was ten times worse. So came off that. Muddled along until a well meaning friend told me I needed some help and gave me the name of a private menopause specialist. She was great, gave me all the facts and started me on Evorel 50 patches, Vagisil and Utrogestan. I’m about 10 days in. I’m not known for my patience and am anxious to see some improvement soon!! And talking of anxiety, I am starting counselling sessions with a psychotherapist tomorrow.
Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect? Is my nausea something that will ease? Is there anything else you think I could do to help myself, there’s so much info out there but not all science based and it’s just nice to hear how other women who are actually in the same boat are coping.
Thanks 🙏
