That is reassuring. I am so glad I found this Site. 

Hugs and many thanks! 

can i ask some of the more experienced ladies on here who actually been thru full menopause. Is it better or do the symptoms improve at that point? I'm wondering what it's like when you get to that stage. It sounds like on here the perimenopause is worse. Is that a fair assumption? Do we stop producing oestrogen altogether does anyone know? Thanks in advance. bad night last night x

Yup you are. I'm just off to bed as an early start tomorrow. The quartet is driving nearly 200miles to sing at a service. Best get some sleep. Though I hesitate to say beauty sleep as I think my ugly mug needs polyfiller smile

Hi Karen,

i guess what has really helped me a long with taking the correct vitamins was finding this forum and reading all the ladies experiences and slowly the penny has dropped that all the things I was feeling was similar to other ladies and not some terrible disease! This forum is a godsend for me but if you can purchase some night time magnesium then it will certainly help you to relax and most of all gives me a good nights sleep! 

You will always find comfort from coming on here, it's far better than Face book anyday! Hope you soon feel brighter Karen!! Joy xxx

Hi Rcharris

i am in menopause now.. all been confirmed by the gyno.. had a full MOT.

havent had a period for a year.. been told ovaries non functioning, no follicles and 4mm uterine wall ( thin) menopause reached ..

umm early peri was i suppose erractic, but as i had a very steady long peri of 9-10 years my hormones dropped steadily ..

last year i had just two periods (2013) and year before 3 periods (2012) 

so on and so on.. 

i found myself that emotions ran higher after 6 months no period mark, and also anxiety in my case.. that was until April this year, then B6 sorted that out.

ummm now from the 6 month mark to now, things are better for me, all natural, i had a blip last week. but it passed, i would say vag dryness is the most niggly thing but not severe, and my day flushes returned after many years of none, but i am taking vit E for that as from today..

amongst many other things.. natural .. i do have some ovestin estriol for the vag dryness but still reluctant to use it as directed although it is the gentle of the three oestrogens..

gyno said for me its low oestrogen now, which causes vag dryness  

hope that helps, thats only my own personal experience 

and only just menopause reached

yes I dont work an havent done for 3 years, my last place of work was male orientated and n won understood . This menopause is just got my life on hold and ruined everything and continues to do so.  I am totally fedup with the whole stay at home thing, its not me at all.  Feel Im letting everyone down and as much as my famiy are totally supportive it does not make me feel any better.  I am fighting anxiety not every day but more so when I go out, but its only brought on by my hot flushes and the feeling of imbalance that I have had for years yet nothing ever comes of it, its just so unfair. xx

Forget Tom Jones - yeh your right when we are feeling crap then a lovely young man who is most definitely easy on the eye and the added bonus is that he has a lovely voice too! lolwink

thanks for that jayneejay x How's your sleep? That's my biggest issue. Is it any better now you're in full menopause? She asks hopefully! (:

Hi Trevis sweets 😃

hay.. if you can take time out and have supportive family thats fantastic..

it wont last forever, and abit of home environment is sometimes good..

be kind to yourself, as running a home and keeping it all tidy and in order is  a job in itself..

i have not worked for two years ... and dont intend to yet either..

' too busy on here ' hahahahahahahaha

hot flushes jeeeeez i can relate to that, mine came back like lightning, was having up to 20 a day at one time.. so intense , but they have reduced abit, and the Vit E helps them, so i started that today to see if its true or twoddle.. 😃

relax for a while hun, have some you time, adjust time, at least you have support and thats so important

I went to menopause at 48 stayed like that till 54 then 4 years relatively quiet thought all done,then I became ill,and all symptoms started all over again,exactly how I was when I was 48,so I'm back to square one,8 years further on and I'm still like it .So my advice stay as healthy as you can  ,avoid people with bugs where you can,kids with chickenpox ,measles you name it avoid it,know it's not always easy to do ,but supermarket trolleys ,baskets germ carriers the lot.This is not to scare but to tell you to be careful,as your immune system takes a downer in menopause years less protected as hormones deplete,if I only knew all this back at 48 / 54 yrs what I know now about the hazards of menopause,that come up and bite you.i wouldn't maybe tapping this out.Certainly been a learning curve for me at my age now.So take Vitamins if you can,protect yourself and read up all you can.knowledge is power to women in menopause from the very start.Thats all I can put to this,as I've found it to be for me,some women for a short time and it's stopped ,hope it's like this for you.

Hi Rcharris

sleep has alwayss been a problem, i just accept it now, but lately .. i been drinking a magnesium effervescent  before bed and noticed the relaxing effect, hence starting a discussion on it..

since, other ladies have said the same thing, and apparently there is a magnesium oil spray, transdermal type .. and its very relaxing and benefical especially before bed.. holland and barret sel, it too ..

i have one on its way to try from ebay as i live in spain..

i noticed that when i got to bed i felt so relaxed and actually fell to sleep better lately .. that never happens normally for me.. 

so worth looking in to ..
