Perimenopause Help

Question by Lothar of the Hill People: Is having a low to no sex drive detrimental to a healthy lifestyle?
I’ve always had a low sex drive and even lower after I got started on some psych meds. I have no desire to have a relationship with either sex. I get the feeling that I’m way different than other people. I don’t think I have a personality disorder or anything I just have no desire to procreate. Am I weird?
I put this in mental health because I think the maturity level is a little higher than men’s health.

Question by madamesophia1969: Regarding menopause; how do I manage to deal with perimenopause and still having PMS without losing my mind?
I am 37, tested positive for menopause with a home menopause test kit, and have PMS symptoms worse than ever. When will this stop?? I live in a new country with nationalized health care and don’t have my card yet so I can’t go to the doctor unless it is an emergency. I should get my new medical card in a few months but I am miserable now. Please advise.

If you find out the answer, please let me know. But seriously, soy can help. When I am going thru pms, I treat myself to dinner out at a Japanese Restaurant. I always order Miso soup which high in soy and also eat the Edamme. Then if you eat some Sushi, you get some protein and oh, a glass of plum wine goes a long time in helping you to feel better.
I also just realize that this is the way it is right now and try to lay low during pms staying away from social engagements and don’t make any important decisions.

Question by Cindy: What age do women start having a low sex drive?
My libido was very high when I was in my mid 30′s. I wanted to have sex every day and I was constantly thinking about sex. My husband used to say I’m a sex addict. I suddenly lost my sex drive since I turned 40 a few months ago, I don’t enjoy sex and I don’t want to have sex anymore. I’m healthy and fit and my periods are regular. Is it normal to lose your sex drive when your 40? Or am I bored with my husband and sex life?

I like to have sex at least 2x a week or I’m sexual frustrated. Is there anyway I can lower my libido?

I think you should want to get your husbands libido back even with yours instead of wanting to lower yours to his level! I don’t think you should have to sacrifice your sex drive to meet his. Think of ways you can spice things up for him…be waiting for him when he gets home from work and what not
