My wife has been suffering with perimenopause tremendously. Her hormonal fluctuations have caused hair loss, severe insomnia, and mood swings that seriously degrade the quality of her life. It's hard to watch. There's no magic trick to fix it, and she isn't doing anything 'wrong' that she should change.



If she hasn't started taking progesterone and estrogen, I recommend she talk to a doctor about doing that. Good luck, it's hard on both of you and I hope it gets better soon.


Thank you. It really is. It’s similar to pregnancy in that if both people are engaged in caring for mom and baby, it can be exhausting for everyone when things aren’t going smoothly.
