I found high carb/sugary things and alcohol made it worse so reduced carbs in the evening and gave up my infrequent glass of wine (only on Sundays). Was better, night sweats reduced and disappeared after a year. I didn't bother going to the doctor at all. |

I had bad menopause problems .started it at 42 and apart from the awful sweats I had memory problems in that I would be walking home from the train station after travelling home from work ,and I would be thinking as I walked and would look up and not know where I was .it was like being a stranger in the area .Similarly I would get to work in London and get in the lift to go up to my office floor and get out the lift and not know which way to turn for my office , it only lasted a few mins but was very disorientating |

Didn't really notice it much, I suppose there were a few inconveniences but, the more you think about them, the bigger they feel. |

Why does it take a woman with PMT three hours to make breakfast? |

Bob - if more males read threads like this, it might help them understand what their female relatives have to cope with. :-) |

If men went through the menopause, I'm sure they'd get 4 years paid leave from work - or even be able to retire!!! |

I was a bit like AnnCardiff, although I did realise it was happening. The worst part was the sudden irregularity of periods. At least they got further and further apart! :-) :-) |

I do remember being very tired sometimes. A draggy sort of tired. |

I had mild sweats ........... nowhere near as bad as a close friend who warned us that she would overheat the car when one hit her. |

OMG do I remember!! Fine putting up with things if you didn't work but when it got to the point I was spending £32 a month (18 years ago!) on monthly protection that was needed 3 weeks of every month I went to the doctor and was put on HRT. Sitting in stifling offices with the power surges.......yes the dark clothes had to be worn Maggie, was no joke and there's a limit to how many clothes you can remove and how often you could keep nipping to change without drawing unlwecome comments, usually from men!! I had to sleep all year (you don't sleep well anyway) with a window open and would go out walking with hubby on frosty days in just a t shirt and jeans while he would be dressed like an eskimo. Going to the theatre or cinema meant an aisle seat preferably near a door so I stayed cooler. Then there was the brain fog too when you would read things at work and then not have a clue what you'd read and have to start again. I was on HRT for about 10 years and it changed my life. Eventually I had a hysterectomy and have never looked back. |

I was working in market research and sometimes I could not work and had to sit on a polythene sheet at home but I knew it would not go on forever so I just got my head down and endured. |
