Any advice appreciated

Hi. I'm 47 and think am going through perimenapause.

I have very heavy periods, have a diagnosis of ME/CFS, trigeminal neuralgia, anemia and a fractured disc in my back. Hrt is out of the question due to being on strong medication for the above.

I'm constantly on the edge. Have GAD as a diagnosis. Have a full time job, teens and an ageing parent.

I feel like running away. Any small crisis, bad word, anything, tips me over the edge and I just can't handle it.

I'm not sure why I am posting this or what I am asking for.

Thank you for reading.

Have you seen a private menopause specialist? Who advised that HRT was out of the question and why?

That’s how I felt, progesterone (with estrogen) helped that awful anxiety but we are all different. Magnesium glycinate can help a bit with it.

Not yet. Tbh I can't bear any more medication and have decided against it for now. The side effects of current medication have taken their toll.
