    Edith, hi! Yes I am 50 and in perimenopause. I am suffering with all those same symptoms. My skin isn't darker but is definitely not an even skin tone. Also, age spots are getting darker and more of them on my face, arms, and legs. I know I have sun damage from my younger years sun worshipping. Are you fair skinned?

    The stomach issues and sleep problems are awful. I have terrible anxiety and fear the worse every day. I am trying to lean on my faith and making lifestyle changes to cope. I have seen on this site other women describe the "morning sickness" symptoms and how they just ache and hurt all over. We have to stay strong! Staying busy helps keep my wandering mind more centered. I need to get more exercise though. I think that would help me alot.

      Yes, I have had my weight fluctuate during periods of nausea. I lose my appetite and some food smells make me want to throw up. I have never had stomach issues or loss of appetite until all this perio started. I have pains in my gut too. My doctor thinks they may be gas pains but I fear it is much more. I have had times when I feel short of breath. this tends to coincide with my heart palpitations and then flushes where my skin gets prickly, hot, and red. I worry I have something very bad every day. I even sometimes have thoughts that I may not live much longer. scary and sad. I try to pray and I lean on my faith that God is in control and will get me through this. I will pray for you too. Keep in touch. I really would like to have someone I can talk to who understands. Hugs!!
