The decrease in her energy levels weren’t too noticeable at first, but it eventually crept up on her.
And then there was the appearance change: She was flexing in a selfie for her Instagram one day when she realized there was no muscle to be seen. All this took place over six months, and to Montoya, it felt like she was a different person. “That was a really shocking thing about menopause that no one told me. It was so gradual that I became an old woman, and I hated it,” she says.One of the common symptoms of menopause is mood swings. For anyone who’s experienced PMS, that sounds familiar.
