Ah, Menopause. I love it!

about 4 or 5 years ago, I was talked into HRT because it would make me sleep better. Well, after a few months I noticed I was still having hotflashes which woke me up at night ... so i wasn't sleeping better. So i went off the meds
and have not taken any since.
I am NOT less athletic, My muscles seem to be pretty much the same. Not having periods is AWESOME. I have no idea when the hotflashes will cease,
but among other benefits of menopause is that i have less of the headaches and no more odd pms symptoms i used to have.
I'm 54.
