Hello and welcome to the group.

Many of us in the group coup in different ways with our perimenopause or
menopause.

Your right, it is a transition into the next part of our wonderful life.

I am 52 YIKES and I am going thru menopause. But I have been going thru this
since I was 40. You learn to live with it. You find out what works for you
and that is what you do.

For me HRT was not the way to go. I tried that for 2 years and it was a
nightmare of weight gain and body pain. I personally take phytoestrogens,
drink plenty of ice water, try to eat right and walk daily.

How are you coping?
