[quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound so stupid because I'm 44 but oh well -- my period this month has just been a total nightmare. It's lasted twice as long and has left me absolutely wiped out and there have been a host of other issues I won't go into detail about. Finally in desperation I googled my symptoms and realized I must be in perimopause. Yes, I am an idiot because it really hadn't occurred to me. My period has been like clockwork up until now and in my mind I'm still blissfully in my 30s. So OK, it's here it's happening.....now what do I do? I don't have any women I can talk about this with. I will obviously talk to my gyno at my next appointment butane there other things I should do? Do I need to think about HRT?Change vitamins? I'm in relatively good health altho I'm working on losing about 25 lbs I've put on during the pandemic, but it is coming off. I walk 3 miles a day 4 times a week and do HIIT 3-4 times a week.

I don't know I guess I'm panicking a little -- what do I need to do to make sure I stay healthy? What changes do I make now to keep from experiencing a huge drop-off in the next couple of years? I don't need to be forever young and to be clear I'm not vain or beautiful or anything, I just want to feel good. [/quote]
