Hi Kathleen, exactly. I didn't take anything during
perimenopause, I was too scared of side effects and adding fuel to the fire (literally). Fortunately, things have improved a lot two years after my last period. I'm not the emotional wreck I used to be although I still have irritability and rage, but they're short-lived. I think hormonal fluctuations are the pits, I feel much more stable now. It was a horrific time but I don't regret persevering without medication, because now I know my body and mind can cope with it. I could take HRT if my bone density starts to decrease, but I'm not looking forward to it. I love being medication free!
