I'm so pleased I'm not alone. I had a terrible experience last week, and I've definitely drunk more and mixed more than this time. I kept thinking this can't be normal. Definitely time for a rethink on the alcohol

I did buy some funnily enough and take it after a big night,
I also can’t do a spirit and mixer in particular anymore. I’m better with wine.
I’m in my 50’s and have drank most of my life. Stopped in February for 6 weeks and when I tried to have wine I was so poorly the next day. Obviously I’m a massive lush so I kept trying to drink it, as it was how I relaxed, but have finally came to the realisation I have to give it up. Been a week sober and I had my first full nights sleep last night of 9 hours. Last time I slept that long I was in my 30’s.
I think I've reached the premenopausal point of my life. 41 and for the last 6-8 weeks have suffered with hot flushes, lack of sleep, restless legs, and slightly more hair loss than usual during showers. But to top it all off today, it was the first day back at work (school) after the holidays and I literally couldn't remember people's names. I was sat staring at people, like, with total brain fog as to what their names were 
Started taking magnesium tablets recently, and this has helped the restless legs massively but the rest is killing me!! When the kids come back to class tomorrow, I'm gonna be like "who the heck are you?!"

You can take it every day as a health thing more than a hangover recovery thing. My mum has taken it for years and when she had a scan they said her liver looked 30 years younger than she was.
try Lions mane for brain fog - it’s bloody horrible isn’t it.I think I've reached the premenopausal point of my life. 41 and for the last 6-8 weeks have suffered with hot flushes, lack of sleep, restless legs, and slightly more hair loss than usual during showers.

Eugh. I'm with you. I'm bleeding every 13 days or so. They are so debilitatingly heavy and last for up to 10 days
Just found this page and apologies if already covered. Does anyone have good recommendations for supplements for joint pain (hip in particular) . There is one for Her Again that pops up on my Facebook but reviews are mixed.
It’s taken a year for my GP to agree I’m in peri-menopause. At 43, I was apparently too young to be showing any symptoms. SMH. For a year I’ve felt like I’ve been going insane. I was fobbed off with anti-depressants and beta blockers & didn’t even bother to renew those prescriptions, nor did the GP notice. Worst symptoms for me.. anxiety, fear of everything, brain fog, anger & itchy skin. Last week they finally put me on HRT patches. However, I’ve done too much research about HRT side effects & I’m scared to use them due to health anxiety. It’s a viscous circle for me 
Just took my first Lion's Mane supplement. I got the Irish Botanica brand as I saw it in the health food section of the supermarket but I've just realised i have to take 4 to 6 capsules per day 
I'll be rattling walking around for the next couple of weeks!
Also picked up the Modern Chemistry brand one in Boots as it was on offer and is a one-a-day which feels more sensible.
Hoping it will help with my concentration as I'm feeling a bit out of control at work sometimes, paranoid about checking I've locked doors and set alarms etc because my short-term memory is shot.

I’m also getting hip pain sometimes it’s lined to my period making an appearance others it’s just there all the time
I think I've mentioned it here before, but I find hip opening exercises the best for easing the pain. While stood and holding on to something like a kitchen work top, rotate the sore hip in wide circles. Do as many as possible (I do 3 sets of 20). Later that day, or certainly the next day, the pain should be better.
I 'think' mine comes on if I wear very flat shoes. I've avoided them and touch wood, haven't had any pain for months

Can stress cause spotting?
I'm pretty sure it can
In my experience yes!
I agree that hip pain is more often that not caused by muscle tightness.
As for spotting, it is worth getting checked out if it persists between periods.
I'm keeping a note of the spotting. I'm under a bit stress at the minute and I have my other usual stressed symptoms too. I'm also on the mini pill , some people get random spotting as a side effect .
Today I’ve woken up with a horrible pain in my hip/back if I bend over or move into the wrong way for absolutely no reason whatsoever - so that’s fun!
Honestly start the patches. The benefits far outweigh any risks. For the small number that HRT isn’t suitable for, it wouldn’t be prescribed if it wasn’t safe.It’s taken a year for my GP to agree I’m in peri-menopause.

Me too, just started the patch a few days ago. I know it take a while before you see a difference. But, im already sleeping better.
