Hi irm602, sorry you are struggling so badly with this crappy menopause.
I can sure relate.I have been feeling totally bonkers for quite some time now ,with all the mood swings and hot flashes.The good news is that 2 weeks ago I started exercising a tiny bit here and there and it really has made a difference.It was so hard to get motivated to do it but i forced my self to and i am so glad i did. If you need someone to talk to i am a good listener who understands. maggiepie

Try to think of this 'transition' as NORMAL! I totally thought that I would sail through menopause very easily and by the time I was deeply imbedded in it I found out differently. I took action and informed myself on my options. I feel that bio-identical hormone therapy saved me from more agony. Nothing is perfect, but sailing through it without help was not an option for me.
Things will get better. Try to do something healthy and positive for yourself. I have a full body massage once a month and a facial. Now is the time to focus on what makes you happy and what makes you feel better about yourself. Hugs, JK

Hormones, or lack of, whatever...can make one feel just a tad schitzo. I can go from "Screw everything!" to "isn't this lovely?' in two seconds flat.I thought because I'm a healthy, active woman, I'd sail thru this puppy too. Not happening....ugh. Right now, it's kinda like, "let me nap and keep me stocked in chocolate and no one dies....today" ha. Hang in there. We are all here with ya!

How long have you guys been on the hormones? Is is bio-identical hormones? If so, have you had any side effects? I am thinking of trying them again. I was on them for two months and started having periods again and cramps. Went off them, because it scared me. Did any of you experience that at the beginning?

irm602: I understand, like so many of us on here, I KNOW what you are going thru. The random crying at inappropriate times,(I have never been a cryer!) the seething anger that you have to hide! It's all horrible. Just finding a little understanding can go a long way.
