The family of Nicola Bulley said she suffered a 'crisis' after she stopped taking menopause drugs as the search for the missing mother-of-two continues. Her loved ones revealed new details about her struggles she was facing before she vanished.
Relatives spoke out about the side effects she was struggling with from the perimenopause. They also asked the public to end the "appalling" levels of speculation and "rumours" about her private life.
According to a family statement, Ms Bulley suffered from brain fog and restless sleep and stopped taking hormone replacement drugs (HRT), commonly used to treat symptoms of the menopause, as it gave her "intense headaches". In a statement, they said: "Due to the perimenopause Nikki suffered with significant side effects such as brain fog, restless sleep and was taking HRT to help but this was giving her intense headaches which caused Nikki to stop taking the HRT thinking that may have helped her but only ended up causing this crisis."
