      Thanks Maria, your aunt is kind and well meaning. My mum had no symptoms neither did my lovely nan - or maybe they just didn't talk about it or communicate like we do, there was no social media in those days so maybe they just kept things to themselves and got on with it. Sometimes I do wonder if googling all our symptoms and looking things up is any good for us - I think for me anyway it plays on my mind and makes me so much more anxious. Hard not to though but doctors always say ' don't Google ' so im not going to anymore ! Look after yourself xx

      Hi Lou I don't Google always tell you the worst so I stop,people those days probably go to Doctors either that much but they got through it and we will.

    Hi Lou I feel your pain. I too am having a bad time with each and every one of your symptoms except the hot flushes and it's horrible feeling like we do every minute of every day. I am addicted to a neck wrap which you put in the microwave and also heat pads which help with the headaches and my neck and shoulder pain. Hang in there you are not alone we are all here to support each other in this awful rollercoaster ride of menopause x

      Hi there and im so sorry you're suffering too. I have one of those heat pads actually in the bedroom drawer that mum got me for Christmas , how silly of me I'd forgotten all about it, I'll get it out now - thanks for reminding me....... Been awake since 2am with another horrible nightmare that woke me, feel so drained and exhausted as many others do here too - I honestly don't know how we keep going through all this, I suppose somewhere inside us there is the will to survive and keep fighting for a better day in the future - we hope . Thanks and look after yourself x

    You need to be on an antidepressant. I had to go that route. I could not stand the feeling any more. I love life and I wasn't gonna sit still and let this rule me. Take meds until you get past this. Go see your doctor. Good luck with this.

      I posted earlier that I am different from my head to my toes. It is as if a stranger lives in my body. Will this get easier or ever go away or do we simply have to accept that this is our new normal and try to go on???

      I believe we just have to pray that we don't suffer to long with these symptoms they are just down right horrible my head has been bothering me think my allergies are big part of this today but other days I can't deal with it I lay down feels like my toes just want to cramp hope we get better at understanding this whole crappy thing we call menopause
