This is a really common scenario on the approach to the menopause but it is so difficult to say how long it will last.
Every woman is different; for some this may last a few months but for others it could go on for several years.
As you have found, this can cause anaemia so I do hope you are taking iron tablets? Stress can have a profound effect on menopause symptoms so it is very important to control this, I know - easier said than done!
However, it has been proven that 30 minutes of relaxation every day can reduce symptoms very quickly!
Some women find the herb Agnus castus helpful as this is traditionally used to help restore a proper monthly cycle and reduce heavy bleeding.
Taking a good multi-vitamin supplement would be a good idea too.
Acupuncture can also be very effective for hormonal balance at this time so it is well worth looking into.
