A Merseyside woman said she was at an “all-time low” because she struggled to find menopause support.
Cathy Hilditch, from Formby, experienced a dip in her energy levels after she started going through menopause. The 55-year-old struggled "to get up and go" and this meant she missed out on enjoying outdoor walks with her two dogs, Pepper and Dave.
The agency nurse, who now lives in Crosby, told the ECHO: “I thought I had probably finished the menopause, but I was still experiencing night sweats, disturbed sleep and a general feeling of overall tiredness and lethargy. I felt unmotivated to do anything, and anxious and my confidence had dipped. I just suffered through the symptoms I experienced and never asked for any help."
