Hi I’m two years in to menapause and I seem to have no energy. I go nights with only 4-5 hours sleep. I also wake up most mornings with aching shoulders and neck and backache at the bottom ( don’t think my sleeping posture is right) anyone else feel like this or is it just me.....

      Hi Jacqueline I was like you when I started, really bad dizzy spells always had headache feeling sick every morning. I went onto HRT patches nearly two years ago which really helped those symptoms. It’s the tiredness and aching muscles and joints I carnt do with. Xx

      Hi Maria sorry you feel crap again, it’s a nightmare. I haven’t had a period for 11 years but I still get most of the symptoms, hot flushes and dizziness settled since I went on to hrt but that’s about it. Sending love to you xx

      Wow are you not feeling any better after all that time I thought some the crap would settle down people say it does with time,,or maybe you did not wait and see but a lot people that take HRT after stoping it they symotoms came back I heard, I went on it for three weeks and stop it because it brought back my periods and I was scared of it too.

      Hi Kim there just a small square patch you put on your bottom. Twice a week, you don’t get side effects with them and start a low dosage xx

      Hi Kim sorry to hear about your mum. What comes out of the patches goes into your body not the blood, tablets go into your body via your blood xx
