I'm almost 42, and I've been experiencing hot flashes during the week before my period for about the last 2 years or so. My menstrual cycle, while still every 28 days (oh, lucky me!) has become a full 2-week affair with misery every single month. I'm a beastly caricature of myself for the week leading up to the actual surfing of the crimson tide, and then I bleed for 7 days straight (without dying!).
Just whose idea was it to increase the human lifespan past the age of 40 anyway?? What kind of sick joke is that? There's a reason people died off early in the "olden days" - not just because they had crap health and lacked modern medical advances - it's because we bitches weren't meant to actually live long enough to endure this hell known as hormonal imbalance, extreme PMS, perimenopause, menopause, etc.
Female hormones are the ultimate cosmic joke. Thanks for the laughs, I'm done now.
