Answer by Chris I
If you mean crazy mood swings, extremely heavy irregular bleeding and hot flashes and sleeplessness, I found the very best thing was get together with a friend and try to laugh it away! It seemed to last for years.

But to be honest – I think my husband and kids actually suffered more than I did. I was too busy hanging on to my sanity to think about them.

Some women seem to breeze thru with no problems but it can be wicked for others. My Doctor recommended St John’s wort and Chamomile Tea. He felt HRT and/or a hysterectomy because of the fibroids should be last resorts. I’m glad I listened because about two years ago it just stopped, almost overnight.

So hang on & try to find some thing to laugh about!

Good luck.

I have recently started having night sweats. Nothing has changed in my life. I am 33. Could it be pre menopause?

I was told to take red clover, I have never heard of this, however, I have been taking Black Cohash it has done nothing for me.

And she is only 35, but other things have come into play that make her think she may be going through perimenopause, she is scared to discuss it…..would you want her to at least inform you of this or not? Also she cant stand the thought of sex and makes her want to be sick…how do you feel? Can you support her if you know she is trying to get medical help for it?
