Can I lost my symptoms and you tell me what you think? I've been getting these problems over last year and a half or so.

Anxiety
Severe bouts of depression
Bowel probs and Overactive bladder- being seen at bowel and bladder clinic
Breast pain
Hot flashes
Spotty chin (never had spots before::()
Period become lighter and shorter (after about a year of them being heavy and clotty.
Almost constant nausea
Cannot lose weight despite not eating much, and having debilitating ibs
High cholesterol (apparently) again a good diet so don't know why

I feel awful pretty much all the time. And I'm so so tired. Bone crushingly tired sometimes.
I am nearly 40, I want to go to gp and ask for hrt, but am scared she's gonna laugh me out the door. Or she will do bloods and they'll all come back fine. I've had investigation after investigation and results always come back within normal limits. But I know this isn't normal and that I should feel so much better. I've made an appt for Monday but am already panicking about being fobbed off. I know she thinks I'm a total hypochondriac Blush thank you

absolutely.

yes, but please pop over to the Daisy network for info on early menopause and have a look at the youtube video- early meno is mentioned right towards the end - so none of the risks ( they are small) apply at all until you get to 50-ish anyway.

Wil do. Thank you. I've been feeling like I'm going crazy. Hopefully the doctor will listen to me too
