Too many of us feel "not like ourselves" in perimenopause. In fact, I said this myself. And many healthcare providers we've spoken to, say they hear this from their perimenopausal patients all the time!

This is why we asked a question about "not feeling like myself" in our 2020 WLB Survey and analyzed which symptoms were most associated with this phrase in our forthcoming paper.

This is likely the LAST paper (of 7) from our first study and your support to make it open access will allow us to amplify these lesser-known symptoms of perimenopause, many related to mood, that were associated with Not Feeling Like Myself in our research.

Greater awareness that for many of us symptoms go beyond hot flashes and vaginal dryness is an important step to more research, better care and validation of our experiences during this transitional stage of life.

Thank you for supporting if you can!
