Oh i hate it with a vengence, for about the wk before im awful, for some rason tho have not had cravings "touch wood"
have you tried the lady care magnopulse magnets?I have never ever believed in anything alternative and when I was told about these for the menopause I laughed. I was given them as a present and thought I'd prove they didn't work.It apparently takes a amonth or two to be really effective .I wore them for about 2 days and felt a bit odd. (Ginlin don't you dare laugh)After a week or so my headaches failed to appear before my totm. Then the flushes stopped happening in the night etc etc. I no longer have flushes. The bloating happens but not so bad.The moods are much better too.They do them for totm as well. Google it so you know which none is for you. They sell them there/boots/lloyds but the chemists tend only to stock the one I have unless they will order one.

Well I'll also be 48 next month, so you won't be old on your own Louise
Whilst I had a hysterectomy at 39, my ovaries were left, so still have a 'cycle' of sorts, and also been going through the menopause for a couple of years
I tried the Ladycare, and swore by it's benefits, then it used to start to go missing, well not missing so much but hidden by my eldest child, who became more and more inventive of where to hide it, and I gradually stopped using it.

I've never heard of lady care before so have just googled it, I take it, it works like the magnetic bracelets?
I have heard of red clover and black cohosh but havent ventured that far yet

Yes, I think it does work in the same way.
I've never taken either red clover or black cohosh, but took Estroven for many years, and found it really good, because it was suitable for before, during and after the menopause, so if you weren't too sure if you had started it or not, it didn't matter.
I've recently switched to Menoserene by healthspan, for no other reason, other than it is cheaper.

Saturday night - Italian Meal
Ok, so last night we went for the italian - mmm it was so nice, yes I had things that I shouldnt have but it was nice and I did limit it ie sauces etc,.
So here's Saturday menu
Breakfast - Fresh Fruit, Shreddie Honey nut (HEb) ff muller lite tipped over
Lunch - H/m burger (HEb) with peppered rocket salad, cheese (HEa)
Dinner - at the restaurant - (starter) garlic mushrooms, on toasted ciabatta bread, (main) breast of chicken with mushrooms in a madeira sauce, small plate of fat chips (not greasy in texture) 1/2 cheesey garlic bread
1 larger, 6 bacardi's and diet coke
not even going to attempt to count today but am hoping that not too bad as the sauce was not the creamed type
Any way night over and back on to plan now
