I am wretched at the moment! I am taking agnus castus atm and for a while it helped. Sorted out my weird cycle and stopped the sweats but over the last month or so they have come back with a vengeance. It's so awful. I could take a shower 10 times a day and still be sweaty Sad

I wondered if I had a temperature because of my cold but it's really not that bad.

Someone recommended red clover to me yesterday. Anyone got any experience with this?

Thanks

Poor you.
I am on HRT as I couldn't bear the sweating....life is so much better.
Have you tried it? I know not every one wants to use it but it tranformed my life within days.

I'm prepared to give it a go deaddei. But last time I went to see the GP about my symptoms she told me I was too young (43) and my tests didn't show anything Hmm But I am 45 now and there can be no doubt.

I might go and see her again. Thanks

Why on earth would a GP go on your age and not your actual symptoms?

It's hard to test for because hormones fluctuate naturally anyway. I was suffering from severe anxiety and depression at the time and she was more concerned about helping with that - which she did. TBH the symptoms of meno were much milder then - just the irregular cycle - so when my mood improved I didn't worry too much.
