How do any of you mature ladies deal with the onset of menopause an working. Im only very part time anyway but definitely lost my mojo for sex .

(low dose) HRT, Nuvelle Continuous is REALLY good! If anything makes me too frisky!:P

I take a daily spirulina drink every morning when I wash down my vitamins and minerals and that contains iron. Every 3 months I also have two weeks worth of Floradix tablets and diary it every 3 months too. As I don't eat much meat as it is expensive and bad for you and as I drink tea, I can lack iron. I think tiredness is a symptom of menopause too isn't it.

Hi Bexy I've just looked at that HRT as it sounded good but it's only recommended for women who are one year period free , so you have to have actually been through the menopause , It sounded good but I'm still getting bleeds so it's no good for me , shame I need some oomph lol

This sounds exactly the same as my story a whole year with erratic bleeding and not knowing when it was going to happen has really taken a toll on working, I had to take three different kinds of HRT until it all calmed down, now it's only once a month for three days, heavy for the first two day's then just dies down, the only thing is it still doesn't happen on a regular day of the month which can be a pain

but still better than before, the one I take now is called Elleste Duet 1mg, if that helps

I think I'm going to have a chat about this at my next clinic visit. Also to find put if the reason I can't take most pills (migraines) also applies to HRT.

I'm so sick of never knowing if/when I will get a period! It literally plays havoc with everything, not just my working life.

Thanks LB , I'm stopping the Yasmin today , It's just running out of me today , plus even if I could stop it , I'm so uncomfortable even with the strongest co- codamol , seriously considering the hospital today although I have the scan booked for the end of the week don't know if I can last that long, but it's reassuring ( and not at all nice for you so I don't mean it that way) to know it's not just me .Im really panicking financially which is definitely not helping .

I keep thinking if only it would ease off I could do something , and I have some totally lovely clients who say they'll still see me ( even just for company and a bit of fun and still give me my fee) but I can't even manage that , apart from that I think they'd run off if they actually set eyes on me!

Did you have a lot of pain with it ? Because I'm used to bad period pain but this is something else lol ! X

Hi LOTN , I just googled ( exact words) ' can you take HRT if you have migraines ' and it said ( first article ) HRT can be used to control migraines , so if you took a look you might be able to ask the clinic for one that'll actually help with that x

lillybliss · « **Reply #23 on:** 09 October 2016, 10:08:04 am »

Your welcome and I would say just the normal period cramps, BUT what your describing sounds to me like you could possibly have endometreisis (probably spelt wrong) it comes with PI disease, I have had that for years, so I used to take the pill to control it but then the doctors suggested I should take HRT as was getting some signs of the menopause, or it could be a cyst, I would suggest you go to the hospital today xx.

LadyOfTheNight · « **Reply #24 on:** 09 October 2016, 10:10:20 am »

I would recommend ibuprofen more for period type pain, cocodamol I find doesn't help with that type of pain ( unfortunately I cannot tolerate ibuprofen grr)

It sounds really bad however and if it's still as bad or worse by tomorrow (or even today) I'd recommend you seek some kind of medical attention, as the end of the week probably seems a long way off for you.

Edit just saw your other post Very interesting I will have to ask them about that. ATM my migraines are infrequent, I'm betting HRT would be used as a preventative treatment for those with X migraines a month or something

oh bloody hell, my hospitals crap , had similar a while ago , unfortunately I can't take ibrufen or transamic acid or mefanamic acid ( they were given to me by a consultant) because I got an ulcer from them, sounds like I'm falling to bits lol !

Well that was good ! Got seen couldn't even lay flat to have my tummy poked, no internal , just" this isn't what A&E is for , you need to go to your GP and be referred to a Gynaecologist" I basically could hardly stand , got cross and said " well I can't work I've got 'business deals this week totalling a lot of money , which my competitors will now get , I need to stop the bleeding what can I take and what pain relief " he just gave me some Buscopan to stop cramps and told me to take co- codamol as well .

So now I have to call my GP tomorrow at 8 am and go see her or ( I asked a staff nurse ) if I should just hold on and stick with the GUM Clinic ..she said " if you can it might be best , so don't know what to do as like I said my work place is a fair way away from where I live, but that's where the scan is

Lord !
I could afford a private consultation with a gynaecologist but not the treatment unless I'm working

I did when I was having similar problems a few years ago... lots of pain together with the inconvenience of the other stuff

For pain relief have you tried tramadol and/or a mixture of those with diazepam taken during the worst times (off your doctor of course) These really do knock the pain on the head. The important thing is not to get too anxious about it as that in itself can make it worse, a scan and other investigations will hopefully diagnose the problem. I ended up having the Mirena coil which is not without its own problems but it cut the pain down to less than half and the bleeding is now non existent. Hope this helps
