Chef.Anne :
It’s so important to be communicating w each other. I think it’s just been the last few years that perimenopause has been more openly talked about. She’s being gaslighted by her dr and most her friends think it’s just hot flashes. I understand why divorces are so high during this time. Luckily I explained so much to my husband. I was given some of the worst advice from doctors like you don’t need hormones, just use lube, it will not be so bad or for long, eat less, eat healthier, exercise more- I was eating so clean, working out all the time. All the while I was losing collagen, muscle, bone density and my sense of self. No intimate thoughts or feelings existed at all until finally I begged for all forms of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. I mean beg with research in hand (this was in last year). My dr wanted to look it up. 2 doctors with a wait it out approach. As a woman you have to fight for what you need, do your own research and let both men and women understand it effects every part of her anatomy from brain, joints, heart, mood, motivation and desire plus at least 200 symptoms.
