I'm the same. Also 40. I've had one blood test that says no. But hot flushes are such a big change for me. I'm usually a very cold person so this is a big big sign. I'm struggling with sleep too. But my periods are very heavy still. I get anaemic due to the blood loss, so I really don't know where I'm at with it all. Hmm

I'm 41, been having night sweats, aches and pains, SERIOUS brain fog (I'm finding this to be the most distressing symptom), drying up everything (hair, skin, vag) in varying degrees for maybe a year now (can't remember how long exactly - see 'brain fog', above).
About a month ago I started taking chaste tree berry/vitex.
Night sweats have more or less stopped and am generally feeling a bit better. Wouldn't say brain fog has lifted. I have been looking into trying maca for concentration and libido (which, if I'm honest, has alway been low so not holding out much hope for that!)

Oops - should have also mentioned, blood test didn't show peri/menopause but dr felt my symptoms clinically fit the picture.
Sleep has improved a bit since starting the chaste tree berry but I hesitate to say it's cured Grin

I am 40 too, blood tests said no last year. The hot flushes have been getting worse and I am so exhausted due to lack of sleep. Went through the list of 34 symptoms and I have 31. Have made an appointment to see a different GP as this is all making me miserable!
