You can settle this issue by getting the blood/saliva tests that was mentioned by Ms. Miller. She is correct. One of the tests is an FSH test, which gives you the level of "follicle stimulating hormone", which decreases in peri and menopause. I have been through all of this, and I am 59. I chose to use hormone replacement therapy - but do a lot of investigation on that path for yourself. This is a difficult "management" problem and you will hear a lot of approaches. What works for some will not work for others. Never, ever accept that you have to suffer. The right physician or nurse practitioner will find the way to make you better. (Personally, I prefer a woman practitioner to talk this over with.)
