Kelly Holmes says perimenopause symptoms are ‘killing’ her

Double Olympic gold-winning athlete describes lethargy, brain fog, night sweats and body aches

Dame Kelly Holmes has said the symptoms of perimenopause are “killing” her, with lethargy, brain fog, night sweats and body aches making her feel she is no longer in tune with her body.

The double Olympic gold-winning athlete said the hormonal changes that characterise the transitional period before the menopause had left her feeling “out of control all the time” and in constant pain.
