Dame Kelly Holmes has revealed that symptoms of the perimenopause are “killing” her. The double Olympic champion said she is experiencing “constant pain” and night sweats but that she is “in denial of age”.
The 52-year-old told the PA news agency: “I think perimenopause is killing me at the moment. As much as I’m in denial, it definitely has had an effect on my body.”
She described her symptoms as “body aches, pains, like constant pain throughout the body, feeling lethargic”. “Last week, I started getting the sweats, which I’m not happy about, only at night. I’m thinking ‘This isn’t good’. And it makes you more irritable. You feel like you’re not yourself,” she added.
