Possibly nearing end of perimenopause - last period in December and only had about 3 periods last year. Went through a period of hot flushes last year, but only seemed to last about 2 months - they've come back now, but not too bad. Only other symptom is tiredness. Spoke to docs and she gave me a prescription for HRT which I didn't fill because she did suggest it would cause weight gain and I'm about 4 stone overweight as it is!
Practice nurse suggested centrum multi vits which I have been taking for about a month, and I actually feel less like an old crone when I get up in the morning (don't know if this is down to the vitamins or not).
I'm concerned about joint and bone issues though - have arthritis and osteoporosis in the family - would HRT help this, or is there something else that would help?
I appear to be getting off fairly lightly, at least at the moment, and don't want to rock the boat.
