For me, it was the always being tired no matter what, no brain fog. But when the “flashes” started and I was hot out of nowhere, that made me stop and go, “Okay, this isn’t just stress.” I thought I was losing my mind until I realized it was perimenopause.
Am I the only one who’s felt tired for years? What was your first sign that something deeper was happening with your hormones? Let’s compare notes — maybe we’ll all feel a little less crazy together. 💛
Oh, that’s useful to know.
I wonder if it’s miscommunication in some form. ‘Too young’ for menopause, bang on for perimenopause onset.
Yes, some doctor’s only look at menopause and don’t treat peri because they don’t understand it. She should definitely see another physician.
