Ok, so I have been having some crazy symptoms lately and feel like I am going insane (bless my husband's heart)! I have always had Migraines during my period but lately they have become way more severe and I've also started to have tension type headaches as well with a lot of head pressure/tingling (pressure in temples, around eyes, and cheeks) I've had scans done on my head and sinuses look fine, all scans are normal. I've also had times of lightheadedness and weakness in arms/legs. My heart checks out fine, my blood work is always fine. I feel like my GP will not consider peri because of my age and my OB isn't convinced either because my hormone bloodwork showed normal range when it was checked. Also, my periods have lighten significantly over the past 4-6 months. Could I be going through peri at 32? How can I convince my OB to take me seriously? Has anyone found anything to help the crazy head pressure feeling? Thanks so much for the feedback!!

    Pretty much peri and its awful symptoms can start at any age 30s 40s 50s everyone is different.. The symptoms are bad and only you know your own body.. Follow a healthy diet take your supplements drink lots of water and exercise .. Really its quite a transition.. And its not nice.. Good luck!

    Hi I have premature ovarian insufficiency. basically i start preimenopause is my 20 and now at 30 am postmenopausal i.e i have not had a period in over 2 years. if preimenopause symptoms start before you are 40 you need to be checked to make sure your ovaries are still working.

    hope this helps.
