Just wanted a bit of a kvetch really. I'm almost 41 and after a couple of months of vague but horrible symptoms (crushing fatigue, headaches, forgetfulness, clumsiness, irritability, breathlessness and palpitations) the doc diagnosed me with early-ish menopause. (My bloods all checked out fine apart from FSH and LH, which look wonky, and very very mild anaemia.)
I've started upping my iron intake which has helped with the fatigue a bit, but I'm still feeling fairly rough. And I'm well pissed off that it's happening so early.
Any other early doors menopausers out there who want to share a rant? And any recommendations for alternative therapies? The doc won't give me HRT at this stage because of the side effects.
