    I have never been tested to see if 

    I am Perimenopause but I’m pretty

    sure i been going through it for awhile.

    I haven’t had a period in almost a year but for about 5 years i have had a problem with my lower left leg and foot swelling especially when it’s hot out. I have no pain but the swelling worries me and it’s embarrassing i will not even wear short pants in the summer. I’m gonna mention it to my doctor again when i go for my labs this month. I have read where it’s common for women to swell during or before period. Hope it gets better.

    I haven’t been yet. I suppose to go back this month. It’s only my left leg and ankle. It’s been a little better but never stays completely away. 🙂😢
