How many women are in perimenopause now, and how old are you?

Are you in perimenopause? I am curious to know your age and what range your symptoms are...another words, how do you FEEEEL it at this point (emotionally, physically, etc)?

I'm 40. I've been in perimenopause for at least eight years. My skin gets so dry that I have to address it (kind of new to me). I mean my lips, skin around my eyes, and my buttocks and legs get so dry that I can wear petroleum jelly and not break out. My cheeks feel like sandpaper when the weather is cold. It takes more time to get lubricated enough to make love. I actually have to have a skin regimen to stay moisturized, okay? Night cream and the whole bit...

I'm 42 and I've been in perimenopause for about 7 years. I have acne, mood swings, weight fluctuation and irregular periods. I have learned to deal with it all: I go to a dermatologist and take care of my face (doing much better); I exercise and eat healthy and it helps with mood and weight control.
I have also noticed a decrease in sexual desire!
