Hi Juls,

Perimenopause sucks. I'm 47 and have been experiencing symptoms for several years. Have your gyn do a ths to check your thyroid. It's prime time for the thyroid to go berserk. Once I found out mine was underfunctioning, much was explained and I could start taking synthroid...that helped a lot.
My favorite symptom is the hot flash right after a cup of coffee or a shower. Mmm hmm. Plus my blues were exacerbated so I gave in and am taking a low dose of wellbutrin. The wellbutrin cleared up the mental fog (mostly) but I'm still not sure it's doing its job.
Massage helps me a lot. So do simple yoga stretches done twice a day.

Bet that's more info than you wanted!! this too shall pass girlfriend! And I can't wait.
