    Hello.

    I don't know but it is not fair!

    Maybe we have had more exposure to something that disrupts our hormones than they have?

    Hi Anneta, I don't understand myself why those people get away with it..my cousin is going through this and don't get Anexity or panic attacks night sweats nothing really to complain about its really weird all I could say these people hormones must love them Lol which I was like that,but I heard if you have periods at 16 you wouldn't go through it very long either no idea if that's true though.

    Maybe they’re lying?? Just kidding..but it does seem like some people just coast through and have NO issues and even seem “better than ever”..getting things done, job promotions, starting businesses, doing marathons, going to hot yoga every 5 minutes lol..Am I bitter?? Ha , maybe but I generally hate what perimenopause has done to me mentally, physically, emotionally..it’s a drain and I just go day by day.. hang in there, we are in this together!

      Only 15 percent of women have no menopause symptoms. But you know what? I think they may be having symptoms that they are associating with age or not associating with menopause at all. Like achy joints, frozen shoulder, digestive issues, dry eyes, etc. Some women don't do the research to realize menopause is more than hot flashes and mood swings.

    I have not had as much as many others write about.  I was quite surprised how debilitating it can be.  

    It could be genetic.  I have a friend where the bad symptoms run in the family. They even had marital problems due to menopause.  

     

    But also I think it depends on your overall health prior and during peri and menopause.  I have had to make major changes in my diet and my supplements.  I also apply an over the counter progesterone cream.  Whatever they tell you in the dr's office some I think is BS as I found more info in this forum than anywhere else.

    They go thru perimeno just not as bad as all of us and some don't even relalize that they are having symptoms, they just don't put 2 and 2 together.. I'm forever telling my sister that's a menopause symptom, her eyes were very dry eyelids patchy and flaky and itched for like 2 years , I'm like that's meno, she just brushed it off, her hair is thinning, again I'm like that's a meno symptom, brushed that off as well.. Caught her crying a couple times told her again meno... Red flushes and she would get ho, for that she would say yes that's meno, but really none of the other symptoms she put together with meno, and she would flood during her periods and the doctors did a hysterectomy on her like 3 years ago, and she had everything removed , took a few of the hormones and then decided she didn't want them and takes nothing so I know she's going thru some kind of something just obviously not near as bad as me... She's 52 and I'm 47, and I had the hysterectomy many many years ago and still have my ovaries .. My mom is same as my sister had a hysterectomy at age 50 because of flooding during her periods.. They both were so much alike with symptoms moody hot red faced,itchy eyes dry eyes, swollen painful joints, that's another one of my sister's big time compaints were here fingers swelling and joints hurting, but never ever put the 2 together just chalked it up as arthritis and whatever else (age) so I'm pretty sure these other woman definitely go thru something just not as bad and don't realize that there symptoms are actually the menopause!

      Also my sister just keeps on pushing on, I have no idea how she does it or any other woman going thru perimeno, these woman go to work and come home take care of their house and family she's a real trooper I'll tell you, and me I cannot even leave the house when my symptoms are bad and they truley are so very severe, I can't shop I can't clean, I feel like passing out if I stand up to long , and the list goes on and on, so I couldn't even think about holding a job outside my home, and keeping up with house work what's that? I wouldn't be able to.. Menopause has taken my entire life away from me, for the moment , ( I'm hoping) and I'm just waiting for it to come back to me!

    But one thing I did differently than some.  When I was in college and I had a steady BF and I took the pill.  I took the pill a year or two into marriage as I married the BF. I was living overseas so when I came home to see my family in summer I would go off it for 2-3 months.  I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.  Plus my sex drive was better.  So I stopped taking the pill and used the sponge barrier method.  it worked fine and I felt better so I never went back on the pill again.

    Hi! Maybe they have more body fat and it helps for estrogen supply. So their symptoms are not so severe but they also will suffer from osteoporosis later in life.
