Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived." Captain Jean Luc Picard
Actually the belief that menopause starts in your late 40s to early 50s is being changed. The infamous "they" are now saying it can start in your mid to late 30s. I started having night sweats and migraines about 35-36 but didn't actually have any changes in my period until I was 46. I had my last period at 47 but the hot flashes/night sweats (which are just hot flashes at night - wonder why we have to give it a seperate name? lol) have gotten worse since then. (I'm 48 now) My naturopath put me on Progesterene Creme and Vitex and things are getting better. Like I told him - I don't mind the hot flashes during the day.....just drink some ice water, but at night - wake up soaking, throw off the covers, fall back asleep, wake up 20-30 minutes later freezing cold, pull covers on, fall back asleep.....start all over!![]()
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
I went to the link for pre-menopause to see the symptoms and I have had those all my life!
Let's break this word down too.
Men- no -pause.....intersting don't you think? (I know there aren't to n's but) since the sex drive is supposed to lower?![]()
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

D*mn. I thought the sex drive was supposed to increase. That's what I'd always read about menopause. Honestly it can't get any lower![]()
Sex Drive?? Is that a new charity event??.....do we drive instead of ride/run/walk? Can we bring our dogs/dh'ss/so's??? Is there a place I can donate money if I can't be there for the event??![]()
