Forgot to introduce myself. 49 yr old mom of 2 adult children. I’m pretty sure I’ve been experiencing perimenopause for 3 years. Thought I had wan autoimmune disease. I Love working out and strength training, I use it for mental health and of course to look and feel good. I got to a point where I not only lack motivation, but can’t recover properly and feel weak and fatigued. This is soul crushing to me! Everyone keeps telling me I’m just getting older and it’s normal. Nope! It doesn’t change over night like that! I hate not feeling like myself and not feeling good, all while doing all the things that are supposed to make me feel good. I’m not gonna roll over and take it! If I can do something about this, why wouldn’t I??? So don’t tell me this is normal and every woman gets through it and I will too! …ok, rant over. Thanks for listening.

What are some cons and/or side effects of HRT? I hear so many things such as facial hair grows, weight gain, acne, hair loss, etc.

Hello, I am a 46 year old mom to a 5.5 year old boy. Perimenopause is tough! I am looking forward to my call with ElevateMD tomorrow. My doctors thus far have not been very helpful in regards to my perimenopause symptoms.
