Getting very bored with myself and perimenopause

Does anyone else get this? I'm 50 and still have regular periods, but everything else is changing. Massive hair fall every day (but I have masses of hair so it doesn't show), weight gain measured in stones, histamine reactions to everything, shattered sleep etc. None of it makes me feel anything but a tired old hag and I'm very fed up with her!

I'd like to accept that things are changing and I won't look and feel the same any more - at least during the transition; I live in hope that my equilibrium will return once I'm properly in menopause - and that it will be bumpy while it's all happening, then go and do somehing more interesting. Instead I feel like peri is a ball of dung I'm fated to push uphill for ever and nothing gets past it.

I have a fantastic husband and lovely family and I work from home, so I should be able to get a grip on this. Has anyone else felt like this?
