I've just realized that I'm in Perimenopause. Not just now, but in the last couple months. Thought this started at 50, WRONG! I feel like a science project. Pills, vitamins, insomnia. I'd like to get off the ride now.

    I'm 42 and have been going through some crazy symptoms since my late thirties so I was completely thrown for a loop when it was suggested I was in pre menopause .... Never dreamed all the symptoms could be blamed on hormones! Not fun but helps to know others are feeling the same . Coupled with my history of anxiety, it's an absolute nightmare at times. No set age when it begins nor when it ends. The perimenopause can last a couple years up to fifteen or so I hear! 😡

    I started at 44. Now 9 years later.......I'm still going through it. Some start earlier; some start later. Average age is 51, but we're all different. Hang in there.
