I'm new to Mumsnet and would love some help please. I'm 45 and over the last 2 months my body has gone wonky! My periods are irregular, heart palpitations, vaginal dryness, feeling anxious etc. and to top it all I've just been diagnosed with Rosacea which has really upset me.
I know that I'm perimenopausal. I saw my doc and she says that with my symptoms she agrees. She has done a blood test of my hormones but this will only show my hormone levels for that day.
I've been searching the internet and have found that I can have a comprehensive female hormone profile carried out where I will have to take several saliva samples over a month to show my true hormone level.
This is an expensive test to have done and I was wondering if anyone has had the test done, and if so, did it help? I was thinking that it would help me decide how to deal with my symptoms.
Any help on perimenopause, Rosacea or generally feeling really rubbish about myself would be gratefully received. Thank you.
