Hi everyone,
I am nearly 2 years period free and am suffering really badly with various menopausal symptoms. My symptoms include hot flashes, horrendous night sweats, lack of libido, brain fog, lack of concentration and sleeplessness.
I had a very helpful conversation with my GP last night, and due to some other health issues and family health issues, she advised that she could put me on HRT but would probably not recommend it. The reasons are because I have newly-diagnosed diabetes (trying to reverse this with dietary changes), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver and gallstones (all of these things only diagnosed when I went for a blood test last year to see if I could go on HRT). Also, my family medial history includes my mum having had breast cancer at 40 years old, both my mum and dad having heart related problems and other cancers in the family for both mum & dad.
So, I need to do something to try and combat these menopausal symptoms but don't know where to turn now.
The GP did say I could look into alternative, natural remedies but these, of course, are not as rigorously tested as HRT, so come with their own risks. GP mentioned Red Clover & Black Cohosh.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking about trying Menopace Max, so wonder if anyone has tried these?
Any help or advise would be so, so welcome
Thank you for taking the time to read my post
