Hi and welcome!
I only joined a few days ago, having begun to experience more and more Peri symptoms, the final straw which made me sit up and acknowledge it, was a sleepless night where I saw every hour, night sweats, hot flushes, awful chest anxiety etc etc etc!
Some days my eyes leak....yes I know they are tears, but I don't know why they are running down my face, hence leaky eyes!
Some days I feel fine, then suddenly I am hit by the bat of exhaustion and I have to so lay down there and then and sleep. On average when this happens I am out for about 40mins.
Some days I can't remember anything! I went into the kitchen to get a piece of kitchen roll (I was eating chicken thighs), I sat back down, look at my plate and think, where is the kitchen roll? I didn't remember getting it, i'm now annoyed that I must have forgotten it so I eat the thighs with a knife and fork instead, at the end of my meal I notice the sheet of kitchen roll next to me. I have no recollection of getting it. I feel like I am going mad!!
I am 47 and have been having what I know now to be peri signs for at least 2 yrs. I'm not scared about the changes, I'm annoyed that they are out of my control, but as you say it comes to us all.
There are lots of very helpful people on here, offering advice and a shoulder whenever you need it.
You're not on your own.

PS, This may not make any sense, but that's because my peri-brain no longer functions properly!
