Any of you girls want to talk MENAPAUSE ?

I feel like I'm spending my life now trying to get some sleep.  I spend my nights putting tons of clothes on because I'm freezing, only to wake 20 minutes later to rip them off cause I'm so hot.  I'm tired 24/7.   Ahhhhhh  I can't stand this anymore. I don't do anything good for myself because I'm too darn tired. I've had all my blood work done and all is good. Don't want to resort to a bunch of sleeping pills.  Mother nature can be so cruel. lol
Anyone out there going through this ?    Any helpful hints ?

A day late and a dollar short, but I had to weigh in. I think there may be a connection between being aggitated when younger with our periods, I was't too terrible a ***** maybe the first couple of days and then I blew right through it. It was the week b-4 that I was looney....................I started meno early I had my last period @ 46 and haven't seen red sinse. The year b-4 I thought I would bleed to death. One week on, one week off, that went on for a year.And then bam ...gone.
I usually only have hot flashes during the full moon. My overall body temp has risen but then again I have gained 15 pounds in the last 6 years.....hating that.
Emotionally, yea I have bad days but considering how much worse it can be I feel pretty happy. No hormone replacement as of yet, but I have considered it this year, gest for bone loss, hair thining,increased need for sugar ugh!!! I hate unhealthy food. That could be the whole deal, I eat rather healthy and I do a lot juicing for vitiamin supps.Well I guess thats my story and I'm sticking to it

Speaking of driving and anger.....this guy passed me today and made a kissing motion to me and waved.  didnt know him from adam.  After my gestures, rolling the window down and expressing my "love" i doubt he will do that again.  Had i wanted to kiss him i would of pulled him over and stated my intentions!!

23 years after my hysterectomy, I occasionally , still have the lower abdominal cramps and the CRAMPS in my legs. This occurs at about time my period would appear. I will take all these problems, to rid of horrible and excessive periods. Talk about a *****, I was one practically all the time. The bitchiness is much, much better.I guess the cramps are phantom cramps. Let's hear from some more. Any happy and joyous ones out there that have't experienced ANY problems..

As I sit here in 3 layers including my fleece jacket and ski socks. I can honestly say I havent had a hot flash for at least 12 hours. My sex life has again taken a backseat.
much to my husbands dismay. Poor guy . I make him give me a 20 minute massage so he can get his 10 mins of whatever.  Gee I hope this too shall pass.

Have any of you ladies observed in yourselves or other women you know, if you had bad PMS, you end up with bad menopause and if you didn't suffer from bad PMS, your menopause was mild? Does that make sense? Just wondering if there's a trend there.

Bear,  you really should have Mrs. Bear come on. It helps to talk to others that are going through the same thing. I know it made me feel better.

I haven't been to the doctor.  As all good addicts do .....I'm self medicating. lol   I'm taking over the counter Estroven and 1/2 of a Clonodine every night.  I'm definatly sleeping better, so I'm gonna give it another week.

This thread turned out kinda funny.  We have to laugh at ourselves or us menapause women will kill someone. Having a hot flash as I type this. grrrrrrrr

when I received my Hysterectomy they took me down after for a dye test on my kidney.. I was laying there on the table and I hear the tech freaking out that he could not find my other kidney and the other tech said she only has one.. something in me snapped and I lost it I was like get me off this freaking table I went nuts !!! they took me back in my room gave me a big ole shot of hormones and hooked my iv so I could not walk around lol then my Dr. comes in a couple hours later and ask if I can explain to him how I felt.. Rage is the only thing that came to mind.. that was back in 91 went through all the bull and settled on a few sleepless nights and night sweats.. but I feel good with no replacements although I wonder about the testosterone as this is our sex drive.. come to think of it so does my Husband lol  lesa
