Keep a fan handy for the hot flashes.

probably yes. Another symptom is a really long period so keep feminine products handy at all times. women go thru these things at all different ages.

I have had early menopause because of an emergency hysterectomy(a complete hysterectomy:no more periods) when I was 25 yrs old. It was awful:Night sweats,cranky,crying for no reason,dry skin,headaches,breasts got smaller,hair got thinner..but as soon as I went on hormone replacement therapy(I switched to the hormone patches,one a week)all those things reversed.Life got better.

Sound like it. And you are at the prime age for it also.

Welcome to the club. I am 55 and have been experiencing peri-menopause forever and will probably be in a nursing home and sending my grandson out for tampons! Ask your doctor about Prem-Pro or similar. I don't get hot flashes - I get cold flashes, have had sleepiness, mood swings and the jumpy feeling as well as rapid heart racing. Prem - Pro has helped me a lot.
Also, exercise, meditation, drink a lot of water and check into herbal supplements such as Evening Primrose. Read as much as you can about the change and know you are not alone.

Sounds like it. Eventually your gyno may put you on hormone replacement therapy and this will help prevent the symptoms you may be experiencing. It is also great for bone density, keeps the vagina lubricated, and really boosts the libido according to my experience.
