Perimenopausal Symptoms
If you have been reading about perimenopausal symptoms in an attempt to figure out what's been happening to your body lately, it is very likely that you have come across A LOT of text and information. There are many people who are more than willing to help you figure out your perimenopausal symptoms, help you understand what is going on, help you alleviate (remember there is no cure) the perimenopausal symptoms, or simply offer support.
With all the information you have to take in (and let's remember that difficulty concentrating and “memory” problems are members of the perimenopausal symptoms), you can easily become confused as to what's what. Especially since you are slowly learning that many of these symptoms can be the result of a thyroid imbalance as well.
So, for those who need a complete list of perimenopausal symptoms, or at least a list of what can occur, you've come to the right place. Here are the 30 most common and some uncommon perimenopausal symptoms:
