Re: One for the ladies
In my mid forties, l was getting symptoms of the menopause. Hot flushes, especially at night and shouting at everyone.
It made me feel so miserable that l went to the doctor who prescribed HRT.
It was marvellous! I didn’t get the flushes and l stopped shouting at everyone.
It improved my complexion, my hair really improved and my teeth were very white and strong. I felt so confident and empowered. I still, sometimes wonder, if taking HRT caused me to get divorced as l was a different person.
Ten years later, when l was 53, the scare about HRT hit the headlines and l stopped taking it. Besides, ten years was a long time to be taking it.
I immediately, suffered hot sweats at night and l couldn’t sleep. I took Black Cohash (which didn’t suit me at all) and Evening Primrose but still the hot flushes/sweats continued. Not long after, they lessened and l was fine.
I did read, if you have a baby at a late age as l did when l was 40, it can cause you to go through an early menopause?
