Peri menopausal and cry at the drop of a hat

[Dogmama]

Please go to the doctor and get yourself checked out; hormonally, emotionally, and just a general check up, with blood work. And don't let your doctor tell you its "just part of getting older."

+++1. If it's something simple, like a sluggish thyroid, it can be correctly easily. Try to be open to any modality that helps. If nothing else, it will be easier for your husband to live with you

I've been in meno-hell for awhile now. I've done lots of work around my emotional stuff with a therapist, so I can usually move through the ups & downs. For me, all of the unresolved stuff in my life did a U-turn & hit my upside my head in menopause. I see this happening to a lot of my friends as well.

The physical stuff - not so great. In fact, I'm seeing a naturopath this week because I'm really sensitive to medications. I have dripping wet hot flashes. Night sweats are worse - I don't recall the last time I had a night of complete rest without waking up sweating. And it's winter. Ugh.

just empiric experience, but I found that extra vitamin e helped my night sweats through peri, meno, and meno re visted because of endocrine therapy (estrogen blocker) post breast cancer. Don't expect instant results though it takes a bit of time to add up.
