Yes, it certainly does sound as if she is perimenapausal. I suffered with the same symptons as your wife and I can tell you its very debilitating. Trouble is you know your doing it but you cant stop it. If I were you I would get her to go and see her g.p. again and ask him to get a blood test done to see the state of things. They can tell by doing this special blood test and if it turns out her hormone level is diminishing then he could suggest putting her on HRT (hormone replacement therapy). This is one tablet a day and it does help you to feel better. Please try this as I feel this step could really help her. If early menapause runs in the family the g.p. should really look to this. I wish her all the very best and it will get better, I promise although right now it probably seems it wont. Its no ball game either for you sir, but just be there for her and let her know how much you care. It will help. Good luck and hope this helps.
