Perimenopause?

I just saw a print ad for Remifemin with Jean Kittson.
These words made me stop and take notice...

Once you get over the wild mood swings, the hot flushes and the desperate fear of old age it's a doddle, especially if Remifemin works for you.

Wild mood swings? *tick*
Hot flushes? *tick*
Desperate fear of old age? *tick*

Uh oh!!!!!

Can you say perimenopause?
Dammit!
