Sorry you are going through this, I had a hell of a time with the menopause too but wasn't allowed HRT as I'd been a smoker

I'm glad to hear there is a menopause clinic @paddyann54, about time.

Get an appointment with the menopause clinic ,you're GP can arrange it.They can find HRT to suit you .When you get one that works you'll get your life back.

GP's aren't trained to deal with meopause ,you need a specialist .
Good luck .

Please does any one have any advice for me,im having the worst menopause ever.My ability to tolerate people has gone out the window ,things i would normally keep in my head i find myself saying out loud especially to my DH,im irritable snappy.anxious,angry,paranoid stressed not sleeping getting three or four hours at the most.
I have lost all zest for life and cant see anything to be happy about,I have been to doctors who prescribed Hrt patch and pill they helped at first especially with the hot flushes but not so much now,i also have terrible brain fog i forget names etc and my knees chesst and legs ache and the thing im most depressed about i have put weight on stomach and legs and cannot shift it despite trying hard,i cant take anymore,whats happened to me i used to be happy funny smiley
