For me, it was the always being tired no matter what, no brain fog. But when the "flashes" started and I was hot out of nowhere, that made me stop and go, “Okay, this isn’t just stress.” I thought I was losing my mind until I realized it was perimenopause.

Am I the only one who's felt tired for years? What was your first sign that something deeper was happening with your hormones? Let’s compare notes — maybe we’ll all feel a little less crazy together. 💛

Yeah, we've been through a few now.

Primary health care here (New Zealand) is in an early stage of collapse. Most GP's are not accepting new clients and there's a shortage of GP's generally. Fortunately changing doctors is super easy.

Glad to hear finding a new one won't be too much of a headache, that's most of the battle for most people. What about a specialist for Peri or hormones?
