So folks I haven?t had a proper period since that awful one in Nov; I?ve had every month faint spotting and it never gets fully started.

Now just this last one I feel I may have developed hot flushes, but since I?ve also had a nasty virus unsure if it might be to do with that too.

Anyway its like I get hot for no reason, it comes over me, often when I?m just sitting down doing nothing physical, then it goes, am I describing a classic hot flush?

During my first couple of bookings since being sick its happened as well which hasn?t helped my comeback! I suppose I?m concerned its going to affect work more and more, I never know if I?m going to get a period, and I dread another really painful one which incapacitated me for a week basically.


I have gone through a nightmare of peri menopause last 3 years. If you want to get the cycle going again and speed up the full menopause you do not need drugs - just acupuncture. (in lower  back) With me it seemed to unblock everything that was blocked, so am hoping am near the end as lost a lot money through unexpected times of the month happening. When you are younger you recognise pmt and the onset of a period but with peri menopause you do not - one minute you are ok - next minute it starts out of nowhere - and with me can last 3 days or 12 days - hence loss of bookings and income. But work hard during the good days where my hormones are normal again!
Try to explain that to a man! They look confused and embarrassed.

It?s so frustrating.  I had acupuncture a couple of years ago for something totally different. I am allergic to nickel which is in the needles in small quantities.  Even tho she used special coated needles I came out in hives all over my body!

I just don?t know whether I?m coming or going, its difficult to schedule appointments as I never know if or when I will get my period; and I dread another one like Novembers which put me totally out of action for bookings.

Well I'm supposed to be away but am literally sitting waiting on one , sore boobs etc , daren't book as last time ( they do come roughly the same time ish but they're not predictable) it ended up pouring in the first couple of days from the start , where usually they start slow and build up !

Plus it always first week of the month because I have long cycle, but it's so frustrating if I book it'll start if I don't it could be next bloody week , especially as had spotting two days ago , now nada Rrrrrr

I suffer badly from hot flushes. It?s awful in bookings. In fact it?s just awful full stop! No point in wearing make up as it just slides off. My hair gets soaking wet I look like a drowned rat then I get embarrassed so I take an even bigger redner. I had heard about sage and tried the tea but I could not drink it so I?m definitely going to try the tablets thanks xx

Damm I?ve just been in there.  I am going to try this as the hot flushes are getting worse.  It also makes me feel self conscious in bookings as I go really red!

i have severe bad effect being in menopause...chronic insomnia , sweaty night, tired all time and i am just confused mentally because i do not sleep.
these symptom do not allow me to work more harder and i am not happy with my self! so i really need to find a solution!
I am feel so tired..that i am able only to work in daytime as i m waking up at 430am...so actually i do not accept booking at 8pm and i really regret it as i need to make money to reach my goal. I would like to work more but i can not control it!
if i take a nap between booking is worst, then i do not sleep at all.
i am not stressed, depress...just tired because i do not sleep! i am a happy early bird and i enjoy to wake up at 430am but i am not happy to refuse evening booking as i m having requests.
i have 36y old, i feel so much older in this moment...in the same time i feel that i am lazy so guilty and absolutely not happy what i am doing about work. i am not able to be a hardworker anymore and i was so work alcoholic before!

if i am taking a booking late...i tried..i am feel so hyperactive afterwards that i do not sleep! even i go to sleep at 1 or 2am i am still waking up at 430am.

so, i m wondering if somebody is taking ST john wort....i started since 3 days to take magnesium but seems  need to wait to work!
i writing on here because i really need help! i went to my GP but seems that can not help with insomnia!
i stopped to take melatonin as after 3 days i cry without reason! i am eating a healthy diet, drink lot of water, do sport 3/4 time a week for 1hr each time. do you think that hormones remplacement could be the cause?
if somebody can help or let me know how i can try to deal with these issues above i will be grateful.
thank you so much!

Just a note about magnesium.. Its actually absorbed much more easily through the skin than by taking via mouth. Magnesium flakes in the bath work really well, and you can make a spray to rub on your skin using the flakes mixed with water in a bottle

So I have been trying CBD oil to help with my menapause whilst working.  It's amazing, I have only had 1 hot flush so far, the night sweats have stopped.  My anxiety has vanished.  I feel kind of "normal".

Now I only been using it about 10 days but I am impressed.

There are lots of different brands but I was told not to use the Holland &Barret one as that's so diluted it's not worth using.  So I went for a mid strength legal one I got online.

Forgive my ignorance but what is CBD oil? I need something to help me.
Time of the month and peri menopause has caused me so much grief and a massive loss of income - I sometimes feel helpless. Have a couple of regulars that have been ok with unexpected hormones and effects of menopause on my body and mind but the rest have just disappeared. They were my regular income and now they are not! Any advice much appreciated.

Oh have googled CBD oil now so know what it is. Does Holland & Barrett sell it? what is the best strength to use and how? How long does it take to work?
My GP is useless with anything menopause/sleep deprivation related.
The advice above about magnesium flakes is very useful - thank you!
