hi everyone,
so i think im perimenopause. i have tried to speak to GP but says im too young!! im 43 ! i think i have been for a while. how do i actually find out if i am if the GP wont listen? so i have noticed my periods have been really heavy for the first couple of days and then barely anything for a few more and thats it, this month however, been in for 8 days but barely anything for last 4 but instead of brown as usual its still red? i find every month after a period i feel ill. cant explain it but no energy, low mood, bloating, indigestion bad most of time but flares up. eyes dry and seem strange but been to optician and they say fine. headaches! aching muscles? feel about 60!! no sex drive what so ever ! i get really bloated before and quite low mood and when i actually have my period i have gas that just escapes all the time ! i feel like i have baby brain and forgets simple words i want to say and struggle to get the right words out sometimes but no one else notices ?? any advice ??

Hi Tracey yes your are in perimenopause:(
It's awful it hit me just after I turned 40. 😪 I didn't know what was going on with my body. My periods have always been heavy but these have been really heavy. I've had scans all fine apart from Polyps which have now come again;(
Then headaches and my stomach gastritis is the worst! had endoscopy all clear. I've got acid reflux and painful bloating. Breast lumps had them checked. Liver pain, bowels issues the lost goes on! I feel 70! Sometimes I cont walk and my hands are numb! I've also got extreme anxiety and thining hair, acne on back and chest. I look 6 months pregnant cont wear jeans or zipped skirts

Hey Trace...
You are definitely in perimenopause; it is absolutely horrific!! The symptoms are relentless, some of them are incomprehensible, to say the least! Get ready for the hormonal imbalance ride of your life. Do what you can to be well, including being VERY KIND to yourself, during these VERY trying times, my menopausal sistah.

I spoke to my best friend today and she's going through Peri. The worst for is her constant scratching of her legs
She's been left with bad scars. She had this issue years ago and was left with mild scars then had laser and now her condition has got worse where she cont show her legs.
My sister in law is like you she hit Peri
She's always had amazing skin and got rosaca and acne. She's been left with small scars and blemishes. She's like you never had bad skin! She's wears foundation now and never used to. As if the mental scars weren't more than enough!!!!! We have deal with the pyshical ones!!!! To remind us of Peri hell
