Oh Jenny thank you very much for this post. I'm in my mid30s and my symptoms are more physical, which makes it rather hard to cut through the noise of the research I've been doing from medical journals, autoimmunity, or perimenopause, or simply my nervous system being overtaxed. Also likely, the combination of each. It's a whirlwind of unknowns, an uncharted territory.
Sekar, you’re so welcome, I’m sorry you’re struggling too. Looking back, I also started getting heart palpitations in my late 30s too, so there were some physical symptoms for me too, which I’ll write about in another post soon I’m sure. You’re so right - it is so very hard to cut through the noise, and work out what symptoms are attributable to what, but in our late 30s it’s defnitely worth questioning whether it’s perimenopause way more than we are led to believe! Best of luck on your journey ❤️
Oh my gosh YES! The rage! And just general discontent and annoyance at everything. And no longer having that filter! I've noticed it in the last few months and I'm like yup I'm 42, probably peri. People think I'm crazy (see the no filter so I just say it every time I do or say something blunt and "not appropriate") but I know the truth. Thank you for writing about this.
