Answer 1

...Also possible vaginal dryness, as well as dryness of the skin and scalp. Possible mood swings, lessened libido, and lower bone density, which can lead to osteopoenia and osteoporosis. Sometimes cholesterol increases as does blood pressure. Some women experience weight gain or increased fat around the waist and abdomen.

It's a good idea to see a doctor when you start to experience perimenopause or menopause, because it's helpful to be aware of what you may experience. There are many ways of treating the symptoms, so you may want to query the health care practitioner before choosing the doctor or nurse practitioner you decide to see.

Answer 2

Joint pain, digestive disorders, moodiness, weight gain, insomnia, all sorts of goodies. Welcome to the club. I too am perimenopausal. I guess we just bite the bullet until it's over.
