Hi fellow perimenopausers.

My periods can go from 28days to my current 60days without my period starting,Ive all the normal feelings of cramping and oating achiness on limbs this hoes on for the weeks leading up to my next period,and now ive been diagnosed with gum disease on one of my bottom teeth which causes alot of pain and referred pain into my jaw/ear/collar bone on top of everything else😔 is anyone else suffering from this? Im wondering if HRT would help along with all my other symptoms which are many of the 66symptoms, any feedback would be really appreciated from you guys xx

    Hi there, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Did they do an xray of your jaw joints? If they didn't, ask for it -- they often miss temporomandibular joint disorder. The treatment for that would be different from gum disease, and the sooner you find out the better, so you can get relief! Hang in there X
