    No one talks about the 10 years pre menopause. The absolute worst! Stay strong ladies. Once you hit 60 all gets better except then you can’t see up close, or in the dark, and you forget where your keys are.

    45 over here, going through it too. Never seen a video more relatable…if men went through Peri, there would have already been a pill to fix it! Pimples and wrinkles and grey hair and an oily scalp, hot flashes and irregular periods…sigh…it’s like puberty all over again …

      So you are saying there are no female chemical engineers? And economic forces do not recognize a demand sufficient enough to fund research into such a product? No. The more you mess with hormones the more likely to get cancer. Angelina Jolie preventative mastectomy to avoid cancer.

    No one talks about the whole “perimenopause process” and how long this shit lasts! The hot flashes, night sweats, hair loss, weight gain, hormone changes. Women think pregnancy changes your body…..ha, just wait for it! We should have been warned, lol. I would have apologized to my Mom a long time ago, for not understanding all that she was going through. She has passed away now and I don’t even get to swap perimenopause stories with her. Thank you for this video and for making me laugh ❤.

And can I just say how much I hate the turkey neck? But no more pads and tampons for 10 days and cramps and backaches and headaches and nausea and mood swings that sent me to the hospital and my breasts feeling like they were sent through a mangle (5 heads of cabbage a month) and the bloating and the ruined sheets, jammies, clothes, everything, so yeah that's totally a bright a spot!

      @@stormygail1 my hair fell out after having gastric bypass surgery in 2014, I've been taking mega doses of hair skin and nails with biotin and that has been a life saver! Even my eyebrows and lashes fell out! I was a 36B until I had my son and my girls blew up to 50F -I had polyhydramnios and it kicked my arse and nearly killed the two of us. I'm now down to a 42DDD and they did pancake a bit lol. One good thing with my hair growing back, is it's now VERY SUPER coily curly! I'd been getting perms since I was 8 years old to have curly hair. I stopped when I got pregnant in 2000, but once my hair started growing back in it's now so curly I'm having to learn how to care for curly hair!
      My skin is super soft now and not nearly as oily as it has always been.

Now 58 and the flushes have shared somewhat, but I lost my filter years ago and hot topics in the news can really get me going! Being a women is a rollercoaster ride from the age of puberty.

None of my friends were interested in hearing about. No one thought it was really that bad until they were knee deep in it themselves. Most people don't want to hear about until it happens to them. At least that's my experience.

    Ahhhh, I love this video. It's funny and so true. I don't think Barbie ever turned 30. I had terrible perimenopausal symptoms that came from all different directions! Since I've hit menopause things have finally settled down. It's great to know I wasn't the only one dealing with the crazy symtoms!

    Laughed so hard I needed poise. Fan on high in January in WI? That's me. My Gran called it her own personal summer 😂
