Yeah, and the perimenopause can be just as difficult and last for much longer!! I think that was a lot of what was happening to me. I started getting migraines out of the blue when I was around 38-39. I had no clue that they were migraines!! Took a while for me to start putting it all together. I'd get really frustrated and unhappy with everyone -- H and kids especially. I'd have daydreams of running away from all of them. Then my migraine would hit -- I'd be miserable for 2 days (didn't know about migraines or Imitrex at that time!!), my period would come; headache goes away; I love everyone again and all is right with the world.
Sorry if this is too much info, Andy Just thought it might help since you W doesn't seem to want to talk about this stuff (I didn't want to talk about it with my H either cuz then he'd think it WAS all my fault -- get it?).
Maybe you should keep track of her moods, see if there is any correlation to "that time of the month".
