Yes, my sleep pattern has changed. My hair is thinner. Trying hard to follow a nutritional diet. Losing weight has always been difficult. Don't mention the facial hair!
As for sex. Would love a passionate night (or two!) because, how can I put this, the desire is greater than before. A couple of "purchases" have helped but there's nothing like human contact!  |
I totally agree with your statement about every woman being different. The heterogeneity of menopause, including the time leading up to it (perimenopause), exists! I wished that there were more options for treatments and management of this - especially with comorbid issues that affect hormones, such as having certain mental illnesses, having certain reproductive disorders, and having thyroid issues.
I wished there were more meta analyses being done on this.
