Hope you lovely people are doing ok and not suffering too much.

So I’m 6 weeks into the 4 month medical menopause tonight I have really bad excruciating stomach cramps but I am also suffering badly with the hot flushes and in particular night sweats I spend most evenings in front of the fan. I need something to try help relieve this pain a little bit would normally turn to a hot water bottle to ease a little but can’t even think of that at the minute with how bad the flushes are, anything else I can use to try relieve some of this pressure feel like the only way I can describe is like my insides are trying to escape, oh the joys and pain we have to go through only 29 mind you at least I have an idea of what’s to come I suppose always look for the positives they say!!

Contact your gp and they should advise you on some replacement therapy. It should helo with symptoms.

Also, i took primrose oil and sleeping tablets which helped manged bitchiness 😂 the worst 4 months of our life (ive made sure my husband suffered too)

Thank you for your reply, haha love that 🤣 I live on my own so end up taking it out on myself haha! Regretting the decision but nothing I can do now and because of Covid it was the only option they would offer me 😢

Hi I have the same problems with the hot flashes like you, not into a medical menopause though.

I try to avoid hot drinks, spicy food, hot rooms, the slightest thing can set it off. It’s awful 😫if you find anything that works then let me know x
