Morning Debs. Hope that it does stay dry for you and for the wedding party where your Fiancé is catering. I keep thinking about the gang including a brother and his son who are caravanning in the Lakes and hoping they get chance for a good long walk today.
I was impressed with the way the menopause was tackled on Breakfast TV some months back. I just sailed through mine with no adverse effects at all. I blinked and I missed it.

Good morning all. I think we'll bypass you @Dovefromabove, but it's north of you.
I had a horrid menopause. First OH died when I was 47, periods stopped. Doc gave me a blood test, it was shock not the menopause, but hot flushes and all the rest happened a couple of years later. Doc gave me HRT. It was brilliant, made me feel fit and well and stopped the aches I had in my hip and knee for a good 10 years. Then I changed Doc and new Doc said I must come off it as I'd been on it for 15 years. Hot flushes came back but not as badly.

Good morning everyone.Rained heavily during the night .I am hoping the garden isn’t too wet ,I have a lot of tidying to do .LB enjoy your trip to the supermarket .Debs enjoy your break from work.
Morning everyone, have woken up to a big round yellow thing in the sky. Hope it stays, forecast is a bit of a mixture for the next few days. Hoping for some time in the garden, the weeds have appeared around the courgettes and dwarf beans after all the rain. I have one sweet pea in flower! 😂 Enjoy your week off @debs64 hope the weather is kind to you. @Busy-Lizzie hope all goes well with your covid test. Have your V pillows arrived yet? Time for a cup of tea ☕☕ SYL
I too apparently sailed through with no effects but recently have been suffering from anxiety and mood swings very similar to those I endured with PMT so have booked a blood test and I am looking into HRT. I have many friends suffering a difficult menopause at the moment and I am shocked at the lack of informed care available considering 51% of the population will be or are being affected. A lot more research needs to be done into the effects of hormones on everyone, they seem to affect all of us a lot more than we realise. Men and women.
The GP who prescribed mine was in France, a French woman. She was very informative and took time to explain. I had a horse (a much cheaper thing to do in France, lots of land and cheap hay) and she said the hormones help to prevent osteoporosis so I would be less likely to break something if I fell off. She was very thorough with check ups. She's retired now. The man I had afterwards always seemed too busy to be thorough.

Good Morning Dove, Busy, Rubee & SGL, Dove Glad you made it home safely and had a nice time with MIL, Busy Hope you are feeling better after resting yesterday, the treats will have helped too 😋 Rubee Hope you can get out in the garden today and it’s not too wet, SGL Nice to see a Sweet pea flower, what colour do you have?
It’s very difficult to gauge Debs I’m going through the menopause now and so far so good OH may disagree 😬 With everything you have been through in recent years, it’s understandable it would impact on your well being. It won’t hurt to check things out. Have a nice day everyone.
