As the title suggests really.

I was 49 and have been told that's quite young? Didn't start early, I was 14.

Started at 11 ended at 50 very suddenly .
Mine were light and regular then had two years of regular but torrential bleeds.

Since then I have have got terrible joint pain, can't sleep and my skin has gone crepey. Literally aged overnight.

This is exactly how it was for me. Last two years were incredibly heavy but further and further apart. Joints also stiff now (13 months since last period) and skin terrible. I look at friends my age and their skin has hardly changed. Mine looks awful and has got considerably worse in the last few months. Even my arms are going crepey.
