Supposedly the younger one starts periods, the more miserable menopause will be. It was something I read years ago and couldn't find it now..

Menopause was a b i t c h and now post-menopause, I have to take vitamin D and calcium daily because of loss of estrogen means loss of bone mass. I too get achy at times, in spite of exercise, which I didn't have before.

Agh the achiness you now both have sounds bad, I didn’t realise this was something that happened, so perhaps I ought not to wish for menopause too soon!

I heard something like you said Owl about early menstruation being associated with later menopause or some such thing. It was actually a nurse who came to give us the talk back in the day, I was 13 so guess what I’d already started so that talk was a little late for me and many others.
