[tabitha583]

Someone please give me a hug in the form of words! Been doing alrite - diagnosed pre men at 37 im 38 now so had it just over a year. Ok really apart from exhaustion and flushes. Just feeling a little bitter at the moment. My youngest child has started school so ive trained up and gone back to work Unfortunately with travel i was doing 12 hour shifts in a nursery. The flushes vary from hourly to two hourly and luckily i dont sweat bad but i burn nastily its like a reverse contraction!  I was in line for promotion but have had to give it up. Ive luckily got less hours nearer home with the chance of a promotion after xmas - but is it worth it as i cant hack it! If my menopause was in fifties sixties i could consider retirement but i cant at 38. Do i have to forego any career and sit tight in my low wage low hours job for the rest of my life achieving nothin because of this damn menopause - the government wont susidise me. Im only getting six hours sleep a night and thats on valerian. Im wasted! x

Hi Annie,
Do u think that Biodentical Progesterone cream could help - have u any idea. You say i could perhaps do with just estrogen. But people needing this seem to have the cream? Its confusing. I can buy that myself online x

Hi thanks for your response x I did ask for a saliva test so my estrogen could be personalised to my needs but the docs said u been reading too much - they gave me there low level stuff and i went loopy they said my levels werent low enough on a regular occassion. I have three months painfull periods then four months no periods and bad flushes hourly x

Why not ask your doctor for a light dose of estrogen to ease this transition?
