Add this to the list of symptoms we don’t know much about because no one bothered to research women.
In the UK, I found many doctors discount a peri diagnosis if there are no vasomotor symptoms. This is why so many of us have to pay privately for a menopause specialist. I started telling doctors I had night sweats just to get them to consider the possibility my symptoms were hormone related.
You found the loophole! This is because they used to use hot flashes and skipped periods as The Tell-Tale sign of perimenopause but we now know that it starts well before those things happen. You have the moxy of an American to help in these situations when you have to fight for what you need. The other issue is that most won't prescribe hormone therapy without having vasomotor symptoms bc that's what it helps with based on the guidelines. With 80% of women experiencing hot flashes this is a big one they don't know about but they are making progress. Thanks for stopping by! Looking forward to your next article.
I’m just stuck on “hot” setting at all times. I sleep with the overhead fan on and my window open even though it’s low 20s outside. If the dogs need out, I hang out on the porch in my skivvies while they do business. I walked them for an hour in a short sleeve dress in 40* weather. I’m. Sofa King. Hot.
Hi Shelly! Thanks for stopping by. I'm guessing your sweaters are packed away like mine are. It's amazing how we find ways to adapt to all of this. Never have I ever lol. I think a tank top should be the official uniform of a peri-pausie. I sleep with an overhead fan, too.... rain or shine.
