but peri-meno and beyond...the thyroid can be a culprit.
Ask? Hopefully get a a full thyroid panel...including an autoimmune aspect or two. It is not uncommon for thyroid issues to raise their peculiar side effects during this time of life. And, it is one of the easier things medically to fix! It may take some twiggling of the meds to get things just rite for you [it took me about 4 years overall?-but I was changing too], but it's certainly worth the look see.
A lot of PN and other issues overlap often, and it makes things muzzy for any clear and direct diagnoses... but the more things you cross off 'THE LIST'? The better!
Do let us all know, take care in the interim, please. 's - j
