I always sleep with my feet sticking out the bed...keep my body cool for odd reason.

I'm 52 .......can live with the hot flushes ...........yes I'm moody but ............the skin probs are doing my nut in!!!!!! Always had a good skin ....never really suffered teenage spots or anythinh but MY GOD .......it's payback now!

|That is me tat is,peri menopausal at 46,on HRT for six years,came off it over 6 months ago...

And I thought my probs would ease after a Hys........errrrrrrrrrrrrrr no

I'm 46 but I can't have HRT so I have to just get on with it...mind you with my 'don't give a toss' attitude I think I'll be ok... as long as theres a bowl of cold water to stick my feet in.

Whats this post about again?

That's kinda young to be going through the menopause, I'd pop along to your friendly local Doctor for a blood test Cinds.

ive had hot flushes, mood swings, irritability and forgetfulness since i was 20

I went through the menopause with no problems I never even had a hot flush I have been told I must have had one but I never

That was the only problem that I did have, Marguerita. The only thing is, they never went away and I still have them and I'm now 61 years old. They are truly awfy.

Peri menopause can start anytime from mid 30s my doc informs me.
Only symptom I've had this far is missed periods.(hallelujah!)I've always slept with my feet out the bed and window open unless its subzero regardless of my age.Skins not too bad.Tits have given into gravity,middle aged spread/beer belly now evident but muscle tone elsewhere's pretty good

Other than being slightly irritable...no tetchy, no BLIDDY GRUMPY.....I at 55 have had no signs that I have passed Go!

talking of hot flushes... any of ya'll ever experience a hot flush to ur lower legs only?

No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!

And Cinds.... NO!!

It was hard enough for me turning 39 last week... I refuse to accept that the menopause is round the corner!!!

I'm 37, 38 in august, my skin is awful, I rarely sleep without aids, when I do sleep I wake up lord knows how many times sweating. Everything annoys me. According to statistics I should not get my menopause until I am in my 50's which is when my mother her mother and her mother before her got it. But then I read another blarf that said, you can go through menopausal symptoms for up to 10 years before it actually happens.


Can I opt out now?

I am worried cos someone told me that if your mum had a hard time.. then you probably will.

My mother seems to have had a twenty year menopause... mental woman at times. And the hot sweats were unbeleivable... she would be fine one minutes... and literally soaking wet the next (reckoned her and my dad would have to change the bedding a couple of times a night cos of her night sweats!)

She eventually agreed to go on HRT... (the horse wee one!)... which settled things down. But then she would secretly come off it without telling anyone... go completely pyscho bitch mental at someone (usually me)... and then phone a week later and say... 'whoops sorry... I'd stopped taking the HRT didn't think I needed it anymore!"

I don't want to be THAT woman!

Your GP can take take your blood and order a simple test to see if you are perimenopausal (it measures LH & FSH hormones). At least then you'd know... and any supplements you may need could be sorted out

Have you tried a fan for the night? I have Peripheral neuropathy and I have to have a fan trained on my feet and legs all day and night otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep for the pain and burning. But the fan has the dual purpose of keeping me from perspiring during sleep. The fan by my bed is on all night long.

Oh fer gawds sake,the menopuase is a natural thing...I did have a slightly early one...mid forties....went on HR T for five years.That was the maximum.Came off it last year,,,whoopeee!!

I heard that too, I hope its not true, my mother wasn't mental, but she was in her 50's before she stopped menstruating. Please.

Its not that they get too hot, I just have horrendous night sweats, whole body. I have to change my bedding everyday.

oooh... the test I was telling you about is restricted to certain clinical details (due to funding)... but I do know that 'night sweats' under the age of 40, would mean we could do the test (and not bounce it back to the GP saying "derequested")

Ah Scrumtum,I'm attending the physio/orthopedic clinic etc..for me sins.I'm older now (53) they are stil

If I didn't have the fan on all night because of my PN, I too would be soaked in sweat all night but the fan stops that from happening. It's worth a try and they're very cheap now. My husband came home with two new ones for me last week and they only cost around £7.50 each. It's the first time I have needed replacement fans for well over 6 years. The old ones still work but they are a bit noisy and rattley now.

LOL! im hopin it doesnt come to physio and more higher meds. my body's changing enuff as it is with these calcium meds and my 'good food' diet.

anything else will just make me change completely!

i got anova test comin up one day in the future when they can be bothered to send me an appointment. and then in the meantime bloods bloods bloods... i swear my arm is like a junkie.

but yea they think my leg sweats aint nowt to do wiv my condition. but i think they are wrong as it only started after me calcium meds.

sorry just ventinnn.

I've just turned 50 and my GP tells me my menopause has been and gone due to having to have a hysterectomy at 36. Thing is, apart from a few tingly hot flushes about 10 years ago, I don't remember having any other symptoms! It really surprised me as all the women on both sides of my family had some awful experiences when going through theirs.
