I have passed the peri-menopause stage and I am fully into menopause now. I went through all the things you are talking about and one thing you have not yet experienced -- excessive bleeding. I experienced many moments of embarrassment with this and even considered, briefly, a hysterectomy--like so many of my friends did. Then I heard a tape of Christiane Northrop. She said the medical industry treats menopause like a pathology -- and it is NOT! It is a natural process of womanhood to be celebrated, not disdained. That was the turning point for me that led me to my acceptance of the change. I am so glad your GP did the same for you! Yes! Let's celebrate our bodies in all their changes!
