    I would talk to your GP, there is no good reason why any woman should suffer with the menopause. There are treatments available whether that's medication or supplements which might help.

    You could also search and see if there is a local support group in your area.

    Your GP surgery might also have a social prescriber

    When this happened to me I started Hrt which has proven to be a huge success and improved my symptoms.Everyone has different opinions.Speak to your GP and see what they suggest.Wishing you all the very best x

    Hi @mandy55 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Sorry to hear you're having a really tough at the moment, have you spoke to your GP about what is going on?

    We're also going to send you an email in a bit so please keep an eye out for it 😊
