Nearly 4 years in and its only getting worse

Hi All
I am new on here.... so hello to you all,
I was told i was peri just after my 40th birthday... I will be 44 in July.
The last 6 months or so things have just got worse and worse... weight gain, the over riding feeling of either wanting to murder anyone or so uptight that i cant leave the house..... sore boobs, bloating.... you get the drift...
I went to my GP this morning who has taken bloods etc and is thinking that I may have to go on HRT ... i am really not comfortable with this. She did say that i should look at alternatives to, Which i am.
So i am really hoping you could give me some info on natural remedies and also the soya aspect... have any of you got any benefit from taking this course over HRT?
Hope you can help...
Oddles of love

We could be twins with the matching symptoms..LOL
I feel the same about HRT - i am only delaying it and if i can some of the symptoms under control i am happy enough to weather the storm and hope that by the time i hit 50 its over and done with.
I tried menopace and it didnt do anything for me either... i think sometimes you need to target certain things rather than a blanket tablet and the lady magnet worked for a week or two and then nothing,,,,
Health store hear i come !

You are right medication is not the answer for everything. We need to learn how to relax and get our minds and our body in control we can not let our emotions get the best of us.
Our ancestors did it with out HRT and if they can so can we

Yeah i know its wishful thinking, but im hopeful ,,LOL i have been peri for the last 4 years and my periods are all over the shop. I have gone 7 months without, then normal ! so far this year i have had two !
I feel for you and your husband .... its hard enough for us to deal, never mind them.
I always tell my hubby that i either do or dont want him near me... it can change in seconds... LOL and he himself has said that he never really know what he should do or say.... so i make of a point of letting him know... sometimes i can fly of the handle but i always say sorry - when i feel really bad, which pretty much all the time lately i either just go to bed and read or sleep or get my doggie on the lead and head off for a walk which always helps me and in turn helps them.
I really try not to lose it with my hubby as he really has no clue what to do.....but it is hard...
I really hope you find a way to sort things with him xxx

I do agree with you, if HRT got rid of the menopause alltogether then i wouldnt have so much of an issue - besides the health risks assocaited with it.
I do feel that if this is what my body is wanting then i should let it, and help it along a bit with natural remedies....
I guess the issue is that whilst our ancestors did without they didnt leave the kind of lives that we do and sometimes the symptoms are condusive to a happy work place or home life....

My mum had everything removed over 30 years ago and she was put straight on HRT - it wasnt an option to not go on it... at least now we have a choice.
