Perimenopause symptom & wellbeing checklist
Perimenopause can move through the body, mood, sleep, and thinking all at once — and the symptoms often overlap with other conditions. Check what resonates, even loosely.

Surprising & lesser-known symptoms
These get talked about far less than hot flashes, but they're common — and often mistaken for allergies, dental issues, or something unrelated entirely.
ADHD symptom overlap
Declining, fluctuating estrogen can affect dopamine and other systems involved in attention and executive function. This can unmask ADHD in people never diagnosed, or intensify it in those already managing it. Use this to sort out what's new, what's longstanding, and what might be both.
