    Hello! I still get my periods (I am 46), but they are all over the place. 15 days, 31 days, 21 days. etc. I can tell you this though, I feel AWFUL most of the month. I feel like I am constantly having pms. I am emotional, exhausted, bloated, cramps, sinus issues, head pressure, vertigo, hot and then cold, achy, anxiety ridden, pins and needles, and the list goes on. The hormones have gone out of control! Lol!

      This is me! Just turned 47, periods totally unpredictable. I have been on bio-identical progesterone cream for the last month and I hesitate to say this, but think it might be helping just a little. You might check it out if you haven't tried it yet.

    Yes.. About a week before it's awful... anger/rage, I'm hungry all the time, anxiety, etc... when my periods comes I have terrible cramps and low back pain.. I'm very tired as well. During this time I don't plan anything, it's just best to stay home.

    The week before is awful. For me, that is when the anxiety/panic really kicks in.
