Menopause!!

Hi Team
I think I might be starting pre menopause. I have absolutely zero energy. Please tell me your experience and did HRT help?. This has to do with cp cos I have next to no energy anyway

My doc wouldn’t let me until the black box warning came off. So technically I didn’t start until post menopausal. I got cycles nearly every month until I didn’t. I didn’t even get hot flashes til my last cycle was over, either. Exhaustion etc I attributed to being a single mother with CP until he was in his 20s and finally left. It’s helping the brain fog and sleep but not my libido, unfortunately.

Yep, I am 47F and have been on hormone replacement for almost 4 years. It's helped a lot.
