Is this the start of the peri-menopause? TMI Warning.

[ScarahStratton]

Normally I have nice, light, regular periods. No cramping, no pain or bloating (I know, I've been incredibly fortunate).

This month I am having the period from hell. Very heavy, feel like I've put on 2 stone in as many days, and absolutely horrific cramps that nothing is shifting.

I've spent hours in a steaming hot bath today, and just want to crawl into bed with a big mug of tea and LittleDog to cuddle.

I'm 44.

Not sure where I posted before. But yes that is the whole point I haven't beena able to cope with the face problem & my stress has caused the old injuries to return. That was my point about AD as I am not coping & stressing myself out. The pelvic pain resulted in 6 years & 11 operations before they found out what was wrong. Since then I have not been able to cope when medically things have gone wrong. It is not a coincidence that these things have happened while I was stressing over my face but now I'm stuck with them. I have to mentally deal with it. It may have occurred at the same time as my oestrogen going of whack. Why should my ankles hurt now. It's all ridiculous
