Perimenopause Help

Comment posted I’m Having Night Sweats Around 10 Nights A Month. What Will Help? I Need A Cool Night. I’m Only 42.? by John Jones, the Florida Gyn.

How are your periods and your overall gyn health? (You may answer privately if you wish)
Dear, you’re only 42 and that’s kind of young for menopause, but it DOES happen. I think it’s probably time for a good checkup and some blood hormone studies.

• i have no clue you should got to a doctor
• This could easily be menopausal…..the hot flashes may start to occur during the day, and they are annoying!! Without the HRT, if there is anything out there to control them, I haven’t found it. I do take Black Cohosh regularly, which is herbal treatment for symptoms of menopause, which may or may not be helping. (I suspect it is).
  The night swets are intense enough to awaken you, aren’t they? Just try to dress lightly at night, get used to using one blanket. Can also put the fan on low directed away from you to keep the air circulating, turn the heater down at night. As soon as you get yourself cooled down, you start getting too cold, right? I sometimes have 3/night.
  I hope Mother Nature is getting a kick out of herself!!

• How Can You Differentiate Pms From Peri-menopause From Depression From Bipolar Disorder?
  good question, it all depends on certain factors. each condition has specific criteria. its something you should spend the time researching, so that you can understand it.
• How Can You Differentiate Pms From Peri-menopause From Depression From Bipolar Disorder?
  You go see a doctor so he can do tests to rule out (or rule in) hormonal imbalances. Then if they come back normal it’s probably not PMS or menopause. The difference between Depression and Bipolar is mania. Not so hard to tell apart. Actually they share a few symptoms but if you are really educated about them you would realize that they are not at all alike………..

  Keep track with a mood chart – there are free ones online, google it.
  PMS- would only have symptoms for a week or so before your period, and a couple days into it.
  perimenopause – if the PMS gets worse before menopause, it is PMS getting worse because of perimenopause. If you already had depression or bipolar, there is a very good chance it will get much worse during perimenopause. This has happened to me, and my docs have all said this is common as anything.
  If you are depressed other times of the month, but worse during PMS time, this is normal – PMS makes depression worse.
  With bipolar, you will have manic or hypomanic periods, but especially hypomanic periods can be hard to recognize. If you have bipolar II, the hypomanic periods can be brief and relatively mild, and just seem like a very productive, creative time in your life.
