Hi ,
Five things nobody tells you about perimenopause (and which I wish many of the women I work with had heard sooner):
It can start years before your periods stop. Many women notice changes in their early to mid-40s while still having regular periods, so it simply doesn't occur to them.
Hot flushes aren't always first (or ever there). For lots of women it's anxiety, rage, low mood or feeling flat that shows up before anything physical.
