So as most of you know by now, I've been having terrible depression/anxiety, crawly skin, tremor, cold flushes, insomnia, etc since November. We all have heard or said, "it get's better." So here's what I'm wondering from those peri ladies who've made it to the other side (even to a tolerable level), how long did the worst of your symptoms last? Did you tough it out or did you find a med/hormone/herbal cocktail that helped?

It's kind of a poll.

In a nut shell, I lasted about almost 2 years, then I realized I needed some help. I turned to hormones, it did the trick for me rather quickly. I suffered mostly with a severe fatigue and hot flashes. I had a zillion other things also, but the worse for me was the fatigue. I was lucky to not have the depression....I think that is a hard one to deal with....many have it.

Everything was trial and error for a long while (about 18 months) was the worst.

Hopefully you will turn a corner soon...Juliann
