Yeah, I know that it is about to get even worse, but fml at 45 things are getting crazy. My hormones are so out of whack that I'll cry at a video of a puppy being cute.

I'm even getting emotional about writing this post. I guess I just need some kind of comfort and release because Things are crazy.

Forgive me the question, but what's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?

    Ah TIL! That makes sense, I don't have that quite yet. Do get the cramps though, but a good water bottle and chocolate helps often (for me at least).

    Are the periods then sometimes worse, or lighter?

    Perimenopause can change the timing, amount, and severity of your menstrual cycle, often making them worse, but not always. You may also notice changes in PMS symptoms, they usually are worse as well, but not always.
