I’m 49 have had hot flushes for about 3 years, periods have changed over the last 12 months, I had a period at the end of March that lasted 2 weeks then missed 3 months, hot flushes were 10 times worse whilst I didn’t have a period then out of the blue a period arrived, lasted over a week but was there one day and gone the next then back again, then my god awful period pains arrived and I’m having the period from hell, exactly 2 weeks after I started, it’s now constant loss and fairly heavy with cramps, I’m presuming it’s because I missed 3 months my bodies playing catch up, it’s driving me mad and wearing me down.

That sounds like me for all the years I was menstruating, it's awful isn't it.
I'm sorry I have no words of wisdom, just sympathy.
I consider it pay back that my periods stopped suddenly 15 yrs ago with no menopausal symptoms.
