Menopause can be a bit of a bear, but it is also possible to deal with all the symptoms and relieve a lot of them.
Technically, you are still in peri-menopause. The definition of menopause is when you've gone a year without having a period. But the symptoms you're having are really common.
It's important that you have a good ob/gyn or naturopathic physician for help in dealing with menopause. There are so many possibilities in terms of treatment that you need someone who keeps up with all the options and helps you find your way through them. Do you have such a doctor?
Do you generally tend to favor conventional or alternative medicine?
