Hi,
I'm very much in peri. Lots of symptoms and I'm 44. I've always had a breeze by with periods. Regular, light, no pain and no PMT. Boy am I paying for it now. In the last six months I've had Bloating. Flood like periods that have sometimes made me have to call in sick as I am going through a huge pad an hour. mood swings and tearfulness. No regular cycle to speak of. And this month randomly, agonising back pain. In one spot right at the back. Two days before my period and I could hardly move. Started period and it faded away over a few hours. What the hell?
Had anyone else had this and is there nothing I can do (bar HRT which I don't want to start yet)?
