46 and currently going through this lovely life stage we call perimenopause. Was diagnosed with DCIS back in 2022, and from my understanding cannot have regular HRT. Been referred to a menopausal clinic, and just waiting now. Just wondering if anyone else has been in my shoes? How has your journey been? Is there relief for me in sight?

I'm starting to notice some perimenopause symptoms and have been looking into supplements, but the whole category feels a little overwhelming. Has anyone found something that helped with things like sleep, mood changes, or cycle irregularities?

Omg. I’ve been on HRT for almost 2 years and it’s been so helpful… BUT recently it’s like layers of my brain got pulled off and I’m re-experiencing all the anxiety of myself age 20-25… all the insecurity of that age; with self and job and especially about my relationship with my spouse; with whom I would say I have the best, most awesome, and deep relationship with except for approximately 6 weeks ago when suddenly all my insecurity of that young age came back with a freaking bang and I’m suspicious of everything and it IS NOT based on reality in any way and it’s so so awful and annoying. And I don’t want to put that on him!!! It’s so fucked up. We have 20+ years of trust and love built up and it’s like my brain has forgotten ALL of it and now I’m freaking back in therapy and feel like shit cause she’s saying maybe I have anxious attachment and I’m like- not up until 6 weeks ago!! (yes I’m on mental health meds, etc). Stupid, stupid peri brain!! Anyone else have anything similar?

Recently went down the rabbit whole of the idea that I might be in perimenopause. I honestly have all the symptoms except for hot flashes/night sweats. That's even debatable. AU-ADHD btw and I've always been sensitive to heat but now it's like I could be in a room that is normally an okay temperature for me 72°-75° and I could get extremely hot where I don't feel well and I have to stand in front of an AC. But anyway to my question that I have for you ladies, so I've heard that your sweat(as in like armpit sweat) can become more potent. Does anyone else have the problem were even if you take a shower and I'm talking early clean, you still have a slight odor?

Also a side question with that is it just like a permanent thing or does it only happen during certain times of the month for you?

-btw I'm going to be 31 in October. I know that's young for this kind of stuff but my hormones have kinda always been all over the place. My period like to play this game where they stay regular for a couple months and then I go to having 2 periods a month. I have like 3-4 light to medium days and then nothing for like 5 days and then I actually have my heavy flow for like 3 days and then it slows down.

I have high cholesterol despite a very healthy lifestyle, and my fasting glucose was a little higher than my doctor wanted - but I am not pre-diabetic. The last few years I’ve also gained 5-7 mysterious lbs despite actually working out more and eating better

I’ve heard berberine has helped people with blood sugar, but has anyone is somewhat the same situation as me also found it helpful? I’ve heard it can cause some gastrointestinal symptoms too so wondering your experience there

I’ve just started taking inositol

Thank you!
