This is my trouble with trying to decide if I'm peri, EVERYTHING is a symptom. My 22 yo dd is peri according to my app.

I think the only way to truly decide is to try hrt and see what goes away.

Bovine collagen appears to have greatly improved my joint ache. I won't know for sure til I finish the bag and take a break.

Don't take a break. Every time I run out of collegen the joint thing creeps back quicker than I would like.
