[quote=Anonymous]It's interesting to hear about how wide the age range is for the onset of these symptoms. When I was in my 40s, my friends were complaining about perimenopausal symptoms, from hot flashes, brain fog, weight gain, and poor sleep, and I was fine. I've always had terribly difficult periods (I have endometriosis), and they were like clockwork until my early 50s. That's when the other stuff started. I hated the hot flashes and brain fog, but the worst symptom for me has been the inability to sleep well. My exhaustion led to weight gain, which I am now at 57, just starting to get a handle on.

To the PP who mentioned having the worst symptoms during the pandemic, mine started before that but certainly didn't improve during the pandemic. My constant exhaustion and cloudy thinking definitely made me highly risk-averse about COVID. I was anxious about the possibility of long COVID, believing that if my overall level of functioning became any more impaired, I could no longer get by at work or in any other facet of my life.[/quote]
