Hi Everyone, I'm 42, almost 43. I truly thought I was loosing my mind shortly after turning 41. My periods became so heavy and painful. The off feeling caused me severe health anxiety and, sadly, some intrusive and obsessive thinking. I never experienced mental health issues before. Repeated doctor's appointments and labs. Until a nurse said it was likely that time in my life, and to seek an HRT specialist. Just knowing it's hormonal and not all in my mind is a huge relief. I always thought that woman hit their prime in their 40's. I'm hoping that with a little HRT, I can hit my prime soon. I know my husband would appreciate it. lol
