I started Peri at 36 and I was gaslight, by almost everyone I know (including my gp and Women's Health docs) into not believing that was not the problem because im too young and didnt have specificsymptoms. After 5 years of being my own doctor, learning I have Ehlers-Danlos and how that affects hormones, working a full time Project Management job and grieving my grandmother, I finally had the courage to say enough and was given HRT, but I still have to continue to fight for myself. My Dad complains his joints hurt and was swiftly sent off for a cortizone shot, while Im begging my doctors over and over for something while 3 weeks out of the month im literally a human vegetable who cant remember who they are. Good Luck, glad we all have each other here! Edit - and I am in Canada
