Hi @Trikki2,
Menopause doesn’t happen overnight
My periods started ‘mucking up’ at 47 and it took 5yrs to get through it.I’d go without them for a year and then they’d come back.I think it’s official when you haven’t had a period for 2yrs. Sometimes if you stop or start Tamoxifen,you can have spotting which is normal but you’ll be sent for a pelvic ultrasound anyway.I’d always get headaches with a period and menopause gave me hot flushes, sleepless nights,irritability and low mood.(so did Tamoxifen) Fun times!
I have heard of some people getting enlarged lymph nodes from the Covid vaccine- I didn’t.I’m not sure if you mean underarm lymph were enlarged or neck nodes? If it were my underarm nodes,I’d probably ask to have them ultrasounded again in 3mths time,ie before Christmas!
