I'm almost 47 . Not sure how that happened. Anyway. During the course of a month I go from feeling absolutely fine to feeling awful. There is no longer a pattern to this. My symptoms at the moment:
Itchy skin, esp on torso
Headaches
Sometimes nausea
Heightened anxiety & irritability
Feeling hot
Not sleeping when experiencing the above.
To be honest, sometimes it feels like the "morning sickness" I had when pg, which was more of a general malaise that lasted from morning until early evening. Though I know for sure I'm not pregnant.
I do take the pill, so am not sure what my underlying cycle is. I'm also reluctant to come off it because my periods became so heavy after I had kids that I couldn't really leave the house without worrying about a bloodbath.
What does anyone reckon?

Is this menopause-related?
