I wondered the same, since apparently it been a long time since anyone had posted. I personally am in perimenopause, such a fun place to be. You've been placed in the middle of everything, where mine has been somewhat gradual. Everyone is different, I still get hot flashes on occasion or night sweats but nothing like it was in '06-'08. I tried using the estroven stuff you get at the drugstore but I don't know if it really helped. My bp really came out when I started this change, there isn't enough research done on women in our age range. In my opinion, if it can show up at puberty, and after having a baby...doesn't it make sense that our hormones at this time can also make it show up in a big way? I mean, those are 3 times if massive hormone changes in a woman's body.
I hope you are feeling better soon.

oh and I won't use hrt if I can possibly help it, my mom has had breast cancer and I've already had a scare. my dr says no hrt for me. I didn't want to anyway but who knows, it could the same as women saying they want natural childbirth until the day actually arrives LOL

tension is who you think you should be
