PMR, in my opinion, is the root or the first place every women who suspects that they are going through mid-life transition or crisis should investigate to deal with the physical and emotional upheaval that can come at this time in her life.

For the past several years at this blog and my forum called Women in MLC, I have addressed PMR or Periomenopausal Rage...the language that I used may have been different, as I didn't label it as PMR, but purely as hormone imbalance that may be attributed to the hormone changes that are occurring prior to menopause.
As teenage girls we are prepared and educated for the emotional and physical changes that occur when "our time of the month" begins...
BUT...no one prepares OR educates us for the the multitude of changes that occur within our body as it prepares to stop our monthly visits by "our"little friend".
So, when we suffer from fatigue, confusion, memory loss. lack of patience, irritability...even split second rages...then falling back in to equilibrium or calm; we have no clue as to what may be causing it or what is happening.
In fact, when we do go to the doctor and our hormones are checked the results, in many cases I have heard of come back in "normal" ranges.
WHAT THE HECK IS "NORMAL"?...for me...for my neighbor...for YOU!!
