Overview

Véro compares perimenopause to the lottery: you can experience 3, 10 or 30 symptoms. In her case, she won the lottery. The first signs came early in her life. So she didn't make the connection between the mood swings, water retention, dry skin, hair loss - and menopause. Before finding comfort, she wandered for years. Loto-Méno is her story, her quest, told with courage and frankness.
