Did you know that there is such a condition as perimenopause?

[DiscoDizzy]

I didn't and I only found out after searching some of the symptoms I seem to have acquired. Its here

Yes, there is actually a separate board for the menopause too.

Just looked at your link and discovered I have a bunion (my mum was right after all)

it's not a condition though .. it's a life phase ..

peri just means around - eg perinatal

I always use the wrong words twiglett. DH hates it.
Didn't know about separate menopause board. shall take a lookey.

Yes - I am in this phase - my gynaecologist realised it when I went in for a recent op!

Bit of a bugger considering I am only 33!

I tend to refer to the entire phase as the f*ing-menopause. I find it expresses things perfectly.

yes i'm 33 too, i'm going to the docs (was going before I read this) as I have quite a few of the symptoms mentioned. What do they suggest, the docs I mean?

Me too Orm.

The most annoying thing is getting a random selection of symptoms, there's no consistency at all.

Isn't "Urine leakage when coughing or sneezing" a symptom of perihavingchildren?

Or at least of perinotdoingyourpelvicfloorexercisesasregularlyasyouweresupposedto?

Hell YES!

in answer to OP

Going back next month for an update - just been told to keep an eye on symptoms and tell him if anything has changed got worse!

DH bit pissed off with having to buy so much Kilo Yankee though! - Can't type the words KY Jelly to him in an email when he is at work apparently!
