Peri/meno & ridiculous hot flushes!!

Thinking I’m on the road to peri meno, (or maybe the full meno!) bad back for 5 weeks, (which has eased with Vit D supplements), generally feeling fuzzy, no energy, knackered, just want to be in my jama’s all the time (i work full time so really not appropriate!), headaches that are real blinders, shortened cycle (by 4 days for the last 2 months). I’ve also recently started having hot flushes, today’s lasted over an hour, red face, red neck, looked like a tomato. Had a few night sweats too. I’m 47, been happily bumbling along until 2 months ago, it all seems to have happened so flippin quick!! x

Acupuncture might help the hot flushes - an hour long one sounds awful!

It wasn’t much fun, usually a few minutes but this was a monster. I think today has been the worst for flushes. I hadn’t considered acupuncture - tbh I’m happy to give anything a go if it helps me to stop looking like a tomato 👍x

HRT.

Nothing to lose.

Acupuncture might help but can you afford to fork out around £45 every week for months or years?
