I had no idea in my mid-40's that there would be seven years of mid-life turbulence ahead of me - achey joints I fixed when I stopped eating gluten. Thyroid problems by taking iodine tincture. I saw several naturopaths and osteopaths until I got everything straightened out. I was blaming a lot of ill health and mood swings on menopause, when it was actually gluten intolerance. It's really worth it to ask some questions, get some help, and not just take a supplement without knowing what is going on. For more articles and info, I have a blog that is looking at the emotional side of menopause/mid-life, the ups and downs, and a new book coming out soon, The Tao of Turning Fifty, finding balance on your mid-life journey. www.jenniferboire.com thanks for the article The biggest news about perimenopause is that it exists!

Can you help me please? I am having chronic dry mouth, eyes and nose for about 18 months. It started when I turned 48, now I am 49. My doctor diagnosed me with peri-menopause and said I should be in menopause in about 1 year due to additional symptoms. I have taken several test for my dry symptoms. The Great News is I don't have Sjogrens syndrome with my most irratating symptoms fit the symptoms of Sjogrens. My doctor said due to low estrogen level that are flucuating is causing my mucos membranes of nose, eye and mouth to be dry. I need to know is this temporary or permanent? I have a hard time knowing that I will be tortured for the rest of my life with burning eyes, nose (not mucos at all in there) and super dry mouth and throat. I dread going to sleep at night because no amount of water keeps it moist and I wake up chocking/coughing due to dryness. I need to know I am not alone that I am not crazy that one other person in the world is experiencing what I am. I have seen several doctors and none of them will confirm anything. HELP!!!!! I need to know I am not alone. Sincerely, Trish in California Hi,

Most of what I have found in relation to menopause has a lot to do with the foods I eat. After all, foods do cause your hormones to change and therefore have some impact on how we feel, think and act. Great article, but I think that us as women need to get our diets in check.

Understanding their symptoms will also help them accept that perimenopausal is a natural process every woman will experience as a transition to menopausal stage. Ask your doctor about hormone theraphy to alleviate the symptoms.

I find the medical establishment very slow (in general) in understanding that menopausal symptoms begin long before actual cessation of menses. Doctors are still telling friends of mine that they are too young. see my blog for articles on peri-menopause "Is this menopause?" www.msmenopause.blog thank you for this information.

It’s a relief to now be keeping track of my levels through maintenance. Which as of 3 weeks into it my anxiety has dropped about 10% and I finally feel like I am on the right track. I was really tired of being handed a prescription that was only addressing the symptoms instead of the root of the issue. Balance is a tricky subject, and the medical community doesn't recognize the seriousness of estrogen in a surplus in every one. A friend of mine recently had tumors (one the size of a small potato) removed from her ovary - benign. I asked her if her hormones were tested, she said no! I couldn't believe it! Thank you for the Perimenopause Diary Template, this will be of great use to me tracking when there are changes in my body/mood. I found this article that may be of interest to you A=68
