#Perimenopause is a family affair.
I knew I couldn't fit doing all the things in today so my family pitched in.
If you need help, ask for it.

Shorter menstrual cycles are one of the first signs that #perimenopause has started. You don't have to skip a period to be in perimenopause.
With shorter cycles, you may see an increase in PMS symptoms intensity. You'll know it when you see it. PMS supercharged.

It may seem ridiculous to us now, but one reason historically why women didn’t discuss #menopause openly was because they were told it would make men uncomfortable.

#perimenopause Limerick
There once was a woman from Nantucket
Who had a chin hair growing out like a rocket
No amount of wax
Could get it to relax
So finally she just said pluck it.

There's a lot to adapt to in #perimenopause.
If you're also trying to make health and wellness changes, my best advice is to go slowly. Too fast, too much, too soon can overwhelm us easily.

There's so much I can tell you about #perimenopause but it's complex and hard to fit it in this limited space. I don't want to change the meaning so much by shortening it that it becomes misinformation. Misinformation, especially for women's health topics, sucks.
I'll keep trying. Any advice?

"Are #perimenopause symptoms real or all in my head?"
Yeah, it's both. Peri affects our reproductive system & our brain. They are "in your head" bc your brain is affected by hormonal fluctuations, but they are real. You're not making up your symptoms!

Give your elders a break that they didn't warn you about #perimenopause.
Things are different now than they used to be:
- We understand symptoms better
- We have more intense symptoms
- We're younger age at start of symptoms
- We have longer lasting symptoms
- We have more open conversations

The age of women that I work with on their perimenopause issues is getting younger and younger than me. I'm starting to feel like a dinosaur. Anyone else in mid 50s and STILL in #perimenopause?

Have you considered making a #perimenopause playlist?
If you're a Gen Xer like me you know the power of a playlist. It can help us process difficult emotions, celebrate those moments when we feel okay, or be the soundtrack to a good mascara down your face crying session.
Let the music guide you.

Dealing with #perimenopause brain fog?
Ironic to post this tip here, but here goes...
Add more long form content to your life. When we read only short form stuff we train our brains not to be able to handle longer material.

Perimenopause and menopause education and support in the workplace are IN. Why? A study showed that 11% of women missed up to 3 days per year due to menopause symptoms, which translated into costing employers $1.8 BILLION in lost work productivity. That's gonna get their attention.

Got #perimenopause tummy trouble?
We hear the msg that we need to get more fiber. But in our effort to follow health advice, we may end up eating too much fiber.
Bloating, constipation, gas!
Pay attention to fiber intake amount/type, space fiber throughout the day, and drink adequate water.

There's no shame in asking for help or accommodation during #perimenopause.
It's biology, not your identity.
Even something as simple as "Give me a minute, I need to collect my thoughts" can make a world of difference.
