Hi ladies

I'm post menopause by 3.5 years and wondered if anyone on this forum has been longer ? I read all your posts and every single symptoms you discuss I experienced while in Peri but never knew it was menopause until I came onto this forum and it was never mentioned to me as I went to see every specialist for all my complaints over the years. I'm still experiencing some hot flushes and anxiety sickness and electric shocks panic attacks etc. So basically what I was asking is do all the symptoms ever go or do we just get used to living with them?

On a lighter note the symptoms a lot of you are experiencing now do improve as to be fair I'm nowhere near as bad as I was in Peri. I have had so many tests medication not HRT so if anyone has any questions I can help with please ask xxxxxxxxx

Hope you all have a much better day today xx
