Nicola Bulley’s family have issued a statement saying she stopped taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) due to suffering intense headaches. Lancashire Police revealed on Wednesday that that missing mum-of-two had been suffering drinking issues after going through the menopause.
On Thursday her family told how she had been struggling with symptoms of a menopause including brain fog but medication to help had left her with the painful headaches. This had meant she was considered a "high risk" missing person following her disappearance as she walked along a towpath on the River Wyre on January 27.
In a statement released on Thursday her family confirmed the mum had suffered "significant" side effects due to the peri menopause. But they said as a result of stopping the HRT drugs it had "caused this crisis".
