I am a recently diagnosed (by GP, awaiting formal assessment) 66 y.o. and post-menopausal. I have been having trouble with hot flushes and poor sleep despite being on Evorel HRT patches. Lack of sleep is adding to my depression and anxiety, to dangerous levels (I am under my local mental health team). As I had a stroke in my 20s, I can only take low dose HRT, apparently.
It seems being autistic can make a variety of conditions harder to handle, possibly due to worse symptoms or less ability to handle them, or both, and I guess that applies to menopause, too.
Can anyone give me any pointers to further information, research, literature, advice, personal anecdotes? I have found a little info on https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/, Mumsnet and https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/.
Thank you
