I entered menopause at age 47. Perimenopause was SO DANG hard! I felt like I was in puberty all over again (UGH). Heavy bleeding, frequent bleeding, cramps, diarrhea, constipation and so many pimples! The pimples surprised and frustrated me! Menopause, comparatively, has been a quiet relief.
That sounds brutal!! I'm so glad you are feeling better now. My body is at the very ending stages of peri-menopause. It has been really hard up till the last year. Then it tapered off, but the not sleeping and hot flashes started. I'm not used to anything but the kids or dogs screwing with my sleep, so I was struggling. The supplements I take now really helped --- hoping this time around that my period is gone for good.
This is great info! Wish I'd had it 15 years ago :)
