I'm in my early 50s, no periods since last October (double-yeah).

I have not "suffered" from anything yet, but the hot flashes (mostly at night).

I did not get the bloating, weight gain (in fact I'm losing but not because of this - just better eating and moving some more). I feel I am less patient, but it may just be because I sleep poorly. Nothing new there for me!

The only thing I had was very, but very sore left breast for a good 2-3 weeks about 3 weeks ago. Nothing anymore.

My doc had me done a special blood panel for peri (or menopause) and all came back ok.

Hoping you all will get over this. Must be very annoying.
