    Hi Jody, go back to your GP, im so sorry you feel so low but its just hormones and they will sort you out! Im 55 and never felt as weird as i do now, all kinds of pains and changes and im just trying to go with it in the hope it will pass. Keep your chin up and definitely get help with these feelings of hurting yourself! Also try and drag yourself to the gym it will make you feel better, im doing couch to 5k at the mo and much as i dont feel like doing the run i feel so much better after. Come on girl you can get through this!

    Hey Jody...

    Menopause is a friggin TSUNAMI; that said, find and do the things which will make you HAPPY! This hell on earth lasts roughly twenty years plus, my friend's mom said it goes to the grave with us womenfolk. She was 75 y.o. and still having HOT flashes; shut the front door and call me Mary! Anyhoo, be well my menopausal sistah!
