perimenopausal symptoms
"I'm 49. I started taking 2 clonidine in the morning & 2 at night for my hot flushes & night sweats. Bingo!! Very much reduced.
Until my body got used to them so Dr told me to take 3 in a morning & 3 at night - again BRILLIANT result, for about 3 weeks.
Now they are worse than ever!!! 
I wake 3, 4, 5, 6 times a night and thats only WHEN I sleep. Usually by 2.30am I'm WIDE AWAKE having been woken by a night sweat, absolutely soaking wet with sweat.
I feel yucky all the time, my skin is dry and my contact lenses are UNBEARABLE.
I have headaches, cramps & my memory is shocking!!!!
So..today i took the plunge. I went back to the Dr & have started on HRT today. I'm 49 (for 10 more days) "
