The last couple of years I've noticed that the days when I feel the most confident about myself and truly like what I see in the mirror are, without fail, the days right before my next period. I never noticed this in my 20s/early 30s, so I can't help but wonder if it's some sort of #perimenopausal thing. Like, do I actually physically look better those days and my body is sending out some sort of "Closing Out Sale, Womb Going Out of Business Soon" vibes, or is it my brain/hormones playing nice?

I felt under the weather the last few days, thought it was just premenstrual + #perimenopausal woes, but with Flip falling sick and now Aaron showing signs of fatigue, it's apparent we've all caught something. 😩

Three negative 🐀 so far. Aaron and I are mostly tired and lightheaded, but the poor kid conked out around 1pm, then woke up at 3pm, 🤮 his lunch up, and has been on clear liquids since due to repeated heaving. 🤒

Any bugs like this going around out there?

We still have a long way to go to establish health equality and fair treatment for #perimenopausal and #menopausal people. But this is a step in the right direction... ♥️

...now we 'just' need them to get a grip on #HRTShortages...

Don't let anyone tell you that #perimenopausal brain isn't a thing. Just found my door keys in the front door, 5 hours after opening it. #dozy

Lordt, it's an intro toot:

I'm a 40-something woman in London with a husband and two cats. My work is to make other people happy at work and I love it. My passions are #gaming, #knitting, #sff, #tv, #fanfic, #theatre and #books.

I'm also a #skincare and #makeup junkie and have written my own skincare guide that I'm happy to share (the secret is cake and retinol).

I have recently diagnosed #adhd and #hypermobility and am #perimenopausal so that's fun!

I'm a motherfucking delight.

Aahhhhhhh #perimenopausal sucks with the internal temperature gauge.

My husband finds it fascinating. I’d be lying against him and he would actually feel my body temperature rising. It could be cold around us but up it goes.

I use my Applewatch to moderate my heartbeat when I’m at the gym so I don’t accidentally overheat. Heat exhaustion is a real thing.

Adding to my #introduction @dejoslin here's more about me!

I'm a #UK native from 🕍 #Winchester & :red_heart: :europe:

@Maybellromero good to know. Yeah, I wasn't going to go into the depths of politics even thought I'm a political junkie. I'm also trying to break the Twitter habit of only following journalists and political folks. I'm learning to use hashtags. Because I really want to find a community that likes #progressivepolitics, but is also #catholic# likes #fanfic# especially #tedlasso and #braime and of course knowing that #BlackLivesMatter. 😂 And and bonus for being #perimenopausal. it will take a bit
