So I am 47 and recent tests have confirmed that I have pretty much had my menopause. My periods all but stopped at least 2 years ago bar perhaps 1 per year. I had about 6 months of hot flushes but they seem to have calmed down. Brain isn't feeling as sharp as usual perhaps, I don't feel very focused at work. GP is happy to prescribe HRT due to my age for the preventative benefits. So whaddaya think Ladies? As an aside, can HRT help libido as mine has been on the missing list for longer than I want to admit even to myself. Also, and purely for vanity's sake, does it have any effect on the tyre I now seem to be sporting round my middle?
