Doc confirmed it yesterday, I'm in menopause. Weird mix of emotions really. The reproduction hormones never worked properly for me so needed IVF and adoption to get my family but still strangely final. Anyway, at least I know there is a reason for some of the new weird stuff my body is doing, though plenty of weirdness was already there lol! One of the strangest changes for me is that having been cold most of my life, and especially since losing weight, i am now warm, and often hot, sometimes all over, sometimes just my face. When I started running with my group 3 years ago I was wearing 3 or 4 layers, always a fleece and gloves, now I have one base layer on a lightweight running top which I usually remove (I have not vastly increased my speed!) Two other noticeable things - firstly aches and pains, feeling that joints will give way! And secondly - smell! I am conscious I smell bad. Trying lots of deodorants, trying to find one that works!
