My noticeable perimenopausal symptoms at this point are hot flashes, night sweats, waking much earlier than planned, and mild depression. My hot flashes and night sweats aren't very bad, though. I usually just feel a little flushed for a few seconds at a time, several times during the day and night. And the mild depression could be situational--I'm not happy with my work life or my personal life right now, truth be told. So I can't say with certainly that is it menopause-related. Maybe I'm having my mid-life crisis (brought on by my symptoms) where I am re-evaluating where I am right now and I'm not happy with what I've found out so far. Donna

For me, it's brain fog, night sweats, and the inability to eat like I did in my 30s and maintain my weight. I have lost 20# in the past 10 months, but I have to be very scrupulous about eating well. I'm 49. I do have more joint pain but swithching to barre and minimal impact cardio have helped that tremendously.

I haven't had any hair or skin problems, though. If anything, my hair feels thicker.

My abs are thicker so those are still work in progress.
Suddenly, glorious wrinkles etch my face. Hot flashes. There's also something related to an intimate thing which I fondly call whoopie pie. My check-in buddies will know what that means . |

I'm just curious about the crepey skin...Have any of you been able to diminish this with collagen supplementation or gelatin? I only ask because I am about to start supplementing with collagen in an effort to keep my skin tight while I am losing weight. I was wondering if it would work similarly for crepey skin texture?
