Liz (Pilates for Runners) I hope you don't mind me sharing this! I found going through peri-menopause very lonely, so I want to share resources I discovered since... I know this isn't specifically Pilates related, though all are at least for active/athletic women*...

Liz (Pilates for Runners) ALL of the people I mentioned above have told stories like this... It's utterly ridiculous - given that about half the planet goes through this tradition - how little we know and talk about it!
Glad HRT helped you! It seems that many doctors haven't learned that peri-menopause to last years...
I had heart palpitations for a couple years. There were several nights when I almost went to the emergency room because I thought I was having a heart attack. I had a couple of long-term EKGs (a Holter monitor where you have wires and boxes tied to you for a weekend or longer...). I finally went to the one (!) NAMS-certified doctor in San Francisco, she adjusted my thyroid meds - and voila... Well, okay, she also explained how all of this was connected. (NAMS = North American Menopause Society, which, actually, is also a great resource: https://www.menopause.org/).
