Mood Swings
During the menopause, our emotional pendulums can swing from raging Hulk to crying mess in a very short space of time.
Night Sweats
After my first night sweat, I honestly thought that someone had poured a bucket of water all over me. I remember getting out of bed and literally dripping as if I’d just gotten out of a pool.
Dry & Itchy Skin
I noticed very early on that my hands and skin became very dry no matter how much moisture I piled on. I quickly learnt that the fall in the body’s estrogen levels affects the quality of your hair and skin.
Anxiety
Anxiety was the first major menopause symptom that I experienced. I woke up one morning with an odd sensation in my gut like I had a million butterflies flying around in my stomach. I couldn’t put my finger on it as I wasn’t consciously worrying about anything.
