I had how flushes and still do. A friend told me they only last a year so I cant still be having them. They happen a lot less than they did. I still get to hot when trying to sleep but when I did get them bad I used to sleep on a bath sheet, now I just have a hand towel to put on my pillow. I chose not to take HRT because I have had cancer a few times. Yes memory was also bad, actually it still is lol. |

I started when I was 46 had a real bad time with hot sweats, cramps and a few floods, but then I had my 2nd child at the age of 48 (a menopause baby) |

I didn't suffer much with sweats but I did have aches and pains for no reason, particularly in feet and ankles, but don't get that now. Almost overnight my waistbands felt tight and, like Maggie, I put on a bit of weight. However the 'mid-life fat cell' does stop grossing out eventually and I now find it easier to lose or maintain weight. Your shape does change though! |

I find that the hormones still try to muster sometimes but don't have the strength to achieve much these days. |

I didn't mean to infer whether anyone on here was working or not, I just remember how much easier it was for my mum who wasn't working and was at home all day when she went through the menopause. I doubt I would have gone on HRT if I had been at home, but I just couldn't cope with my job without. One work colleague's hands would literally drip with sweat. It was before we had computers so all our work was handwritten too. |

Somebody I worked with thought I was a lot younger than I am (behaviour rather than appearance methinks) and when I said I really didn't feel I had anything to contribute to conversations about the menopause, she said it was because I wasn't there yet. |

Aside from about a year of sweaty nights and (as Lady Scozz said) 'formication' on my arms, I didn't have any problems. |
