The book that started Peri Mayhem
The Rage, the Sweat and the Patches
Perimenopause: unfiltered, unapologetic… and maybe a little bit moist.
A candid, down-to-earth memoir and practical guide to perimenopause.
What happens when you feel yourself disappearing and no longer recognise the woman you used to be?
In this funny, raw and deeply human memoir, Marie McLaughlin takes an honest look at perimenopause: the unexplained rage, the exhaustion, the brain fog, the identity loss, and the quiet grief of not feeling like yourself.
With real sotries woven throughout, this is a warm and witty reminder that none of us should have to navigate this transition alone.
For every woman who has ever thought,
“Is it just me, or have I actually lost the plot?”
You haven’t.

Praise for the book
“Everyone needs to read this book. It is the most honest and real description of what I’ve been living. Thank you, Marie, for helping me realise I wasn’t going mad.”
Sinead, Co. Dublin
“I laughed and cried. It’s not often that a book stops me in my tracks but somehow Marie has perfectly captured the struggle of what I’ve been going through.”
Collette, Co. Donegal
“I asked my husband to read the book so he could better understand what I was going through. When he finished, he sat me down and asked me whether this was what I’d been trying to explain to him for the last five years. It was the first time that he understood what I’d been trying to tell him.”
Rhonda, Co Dublin
