    Hi Angela - YES Tiberlone will help you. IT is just wonderful and you will very soon be so much better.

    I too am 55 and really hit rock bottom before biting the bullet and starting Tiberlone. 

    TIs expensive but claim it back from health fund so all good there.

    Did have a heavy bleed about 3 months in so had to stop for investigation and whoa did the symptoms hit me again. Was go glad to get back on it to once again rapidly improve.

    Sadness, anxiety, hot flushes, achy joints, loss of libido all gone really is a wonder drug and love that it is not derived from horse urine.

    Keep us posted Angela, feel free to message me?

    Warm wishes,

    Loui x

    I did take this medication for  16 YEARS fantastric for me,   you can take HALF a tablet a day  still works -- give it a go  ( I am 72 and the only reason I* am not taking it is breast cancer this year agressive  fast growing found early and it was suggested I no longer take it?) good for your sex life and you feel like a normal human being again-- good luck   wendy

    Hi Angela, I have been taking this for 5 weeks. First two weeks weren't great but since then have had big improvements. I am in surgical menopause after hysterectomy and ovary removal 18 months ago and really struggled with lots of other hrts.

    Flushes weren't my worst symptom but I have heard that it's excellent for that.

    I would definitely give it a go. I was worried about the mood side of things as I don't tolerate progesterone and this has progesterone effects but I have been pleasantly surprised.

    Good luck.

      Hi angela

      Just wanting to know how you are feeling. I have had half a tablet for 3 weeks but not much improvement especially with nausea and anxiety still there. I cannot figure out if nausea and anxiety have got any better or just remained the same with it.  especially in week 3 I have felt more of it along with periods and body aches.

      i might too. i take activated vit B vit D and magnesium as well. I did visit natropath but got a bit lost with taking tibilone. are you peri or post menopausal. maybe going natural is the way to go for us. I will discuss this with gynae i visit next week. I want to try accupuncture for anxiety as well. Diet will become part of our life watching what goes in as IBS issues are big for me as well.
