I eventually got a prescription for sleeping tablets which were a godsend.
Sleep just wouldn't come for me and when it did I'd be woken by a hot flashes.I work nights and I'm seriously looking to change that because that and the symptoms I'm currently experiencing are meaning I'm running on empty.
I fall asleep fine but it's like my head stays awake. Does that even make sense? I have fleeting repetitive thoughts all night long. And of course the lovely sweats but they come and go. Was that the same for you?
Sorry to derail but thought I'd ask.
It's a bloody shame for me, get your violins out
smash him round the headThere must be some way they can gag him.
A truncheon maybe?
Which river is that then I wonder? @Fairysteps11 There are loads of lakes in the wider area too, I didn't realise how wet and flat the geography was there. So many mud flats on the coast.
The Ribble and Lune are both “nearby” and fit that description to me (the ribble more than the lune) but they’re both quite a way away for someone travelling on foot. Even in a car, it would be quicker to get down to the point where the Wyre basically feeds into the sea. Unless there’s another river I’m not aware of…Which river is that then I wonder? @Fairysteps11 There are loads of lakes in the wider area too, I didn't realise how wet and flat the geography was there.

Its mad how many of us think we've got dementia due to the perimenopause, I thought it was just me. I think it's because it seems to come on so quick. I remember crying to my husband saying I think I may have dementia or even possibly a brain tumourO/T
Your post could have been written by me, except that I’m not on HRT.
Insomnia is so debilitating. I just want to sleep but I’m wide awake.
The fear of dementia is awful. The brain fog is so real.
I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been mid sentence and forgotten what I was saying. It’s embarrassing.
Even posting on here, I can sometimes lose track of what I was posting about and have to delete it unfinished.
That said compared to many, my peri menopause isn’t too bad. I’m not having mood swings and hot flushes are few and far between. Flooding isn’t much fun and my headaches/migraines have notched up a gear and take me out for a couple of days at a time.
We also need a menopause insomnia thread because at 3am there’s not many Tattlers about!
Ah thank you!Sleep just wouldn't come for me and when it did I'd be woken by a hot flashes.

Luckily it hasn't happened to me, when I started in my new workplace, I was alongside women who are a little older than me. No joke, 6 members of staff were going through it at the same time. Our managers had to go to their boss for training as all of them were struggling to manage and understand. Sometimes their HRT wasn't working or they had to try something else. One of my colleagues had to go private for a specific medication they were being refused on NHS and it's changed her life. In November, our work place brought in menopause support which entitles women to 5 paid days off, which is better than nothing.I‘m sorry but I do think you should stop trying to sell yourself as an adult mental health expert, it’s concerning, especially with some of the comments and accusations you’ve made on these threads. It’s also not about scaremongering it‘s about being honest. If anything you’re trying to belittle menopause concerns saying it’s rare symptoms are severe, making it more difficult for women to speak out. Many women suffer from insomnia/sleep deprivation, that in itself is severe for many, as it makes it difficult to function. As for ‘menopause specialists’ lucky you if you’ve managed to find one, the reality is it’s not as easy as you imply and I’m a little surprised in your line of work you don’t know that. I have had to do a lot of research myself (much science based) online and with the help of a male GP to find a better way through the menopause as I was told to avoid HRT, which thankfully has made a big difference but I was really struggling to cope.
Edit And it’s important for women to know even if their symptoms are severe they can be much improved.
I also felt like todays message was from her parents, it felt very emotional 🥹This broke me. Her poor parents. As a parent myself, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain they are in at the moment. The not knowing must be overwhelming.
I feel that the message today came from them. Especially as they put "daughter" at the front of the list. I'm glad they're able to have a voice either separate or alongside Paul. I'm glad the girls have a good support network around them. And most importantly i am still praying that somehow she returns home alive and safe.
No, we haven't got her, it's not usmy theory on why this is aliens:
the aliens shot down over the US all disappeared, means they have some sort of power that interacts with water
Nicola and her dog love water and she disappeared near water, so it can only mean that she’s an alien or been abducted by aliens
The family don’t want to tell us this because the government and police stopped them. They know!!! Open your eyes!!!
Some will also go through it in their early twenties, like my sister's friend. Just because some people don't suffer extremely does not dismiss those who doI think you've totally misread my post. Women are sharing their fears about menopause and the severity of it. The truth is not ALL women will get it that bad. SOME will - not all. This isn't dismissive; it's facts.
I would have done the sameAh thank you!
My son has SN and was px Melatonin, it disagreed with him so I had a swig one night when I was desperate. Slept like a log lol
How do I teach my daughter this, she still gives me a scalding when I curse (never at herThere’s a difference between swearing in conversation, and using an expletive to refer to another person.
Mark Williams-Thomas on a saturday evening after he’s popped one of his little blue pills….?
I have no idea!How do I teach my daughter this, she still gives me a scalding when I curse (never at her).
I raised her to be too polite.
