One of the worst things about getting older? Menopause and perimenopause symptoms. Some women sail through easily while others struggle with hot flushes, night sweats, hormonal surges and more for years.
I was not one of those women. Oh, the hot flushes I suffered! They seemed to come and go with no way of predicting them. They’d leave me be for weeks, then I’d have seven in a day. It impacts so much: your friends, family, relationships, work, confidence. You feel stressed about attending parties or going out in case you get caught up in a sweat. Speaking of sweats — night sweats are the worst. I would wake up feeling like I’d had a bucket of water thrown at me.
