Like most baby boomers, I am concerned with AGING GRACEFULLY, KEEPING COOL, and STAYING HEALTHY. Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered who that person is looking back at you? The way you feel on the inside doesn’t match what you look like on the outside. I found the following article that I felt was very helpful in determining what to expect regarding symptoms of menopause.

There is a long list of symptoms associated with the menopause. They are symptoms of hormonal change and fluctuation. Some women experience many of them, others just a few, and the luckiest ones none at all. On average women reach the menopause at age 51. That’s when you haven’t had any periods for 12 consecutive months.Although the word menopause theoretically refers to the time when a woman stops having periods altogether, it is often used to describe the years leading up to the final change. Nowadays this period is also known as the perimenopause. According to many studies it can last anything between a few months and fifteen years.The perimenopause is not a disease. It is
a natural stage that every woman experiences differently. Knowing about the possible symptoms will help you prepare for it.
