I'm 50 and have had regular periods until Sep last year when they've gone 8 weekly. (I still get the pain at the 4 weeks mark).
I've had a lot of symptoms for a while and tentatively mentioned it to the GP who totally ignored me. So I want to go back and be more assertive - am thinking of changing surgeries anyway.
My current symptoms are
Depression - hopelessness like permanent PMT
Mood swings - sudden rages
Occasional sweating at night (I wake up wet in the morning)
Waking at 4am and not getting back to sleep
Tiredness (probably due to early waking!)
Some knee pain
Hair thinning
I'm also overweight with well controlled type 2 diabetes (am in metformin).
Would HRT help?
Thanks - I keep googling the symptoms of menopause but get so overwhelmed by all the different websites and don't know where to start as it all seems so miserable!
