Epileptic cartoonist/graphic artist, 47, career on hold while raising 9yr-old with hubby. Partially housebound due to epilepsy and no extended family to help. When I'm not a raving lunatic, I'm funny, intelligent, creative, resourceful, multi-faceted, and love discussing just about anything with any reasonable person.

Just passing through to say hello. Happy Thanksgiving if I don't see you before then.
I JUST HAD READ OCT 5TH JOURNAL ENTRY. I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. NOW THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, FEELING THE BEST WE CAN. KEEP US INFORMED ON YOUR PROGRESS:) GOD BLESS GIRLIE!!!
I am so happy for you! It sounds like at least the worst of this cursed menopause is over. Let us know about the "love cream' as my libido is Zilch! I get the flashes that wake me up at night but they are not so intense at this point. I guess taking the estrogen patch for ten years after my hysterectomy did not help but I hope the flashes go away at night ASAP so I don't feel so tired. Cheers, Alice
I started minor symptoms over 3 years ago (nail deterioration, bad mood swings,etc.), but the s--- didn't really hit the fan until Dec.2005. One of the most intolerable symptoms that I get is gastrointestinal distress (GID). This along with depression, dizziness, cramps,severe fatigue, dementia, severe back- & body-aches make me wish that all I had were hot flashes and vaginal dryness.
I'm a 47-yr-old cartoonist (career currently on hold while raising a child with my husband). Had a bicylcle accident at 21 resulting in epilepsy, averaging 4 seizures a month. Have not been able to ascertain exactly WHAT triggers them off; they can happen anytime anywhere under any conditions. (Even had one during sex! My poor hubby!) Am also now menopausal, which is more debilatating than epilepsy (at least for me; my heart goes out to those having several or more a day.)
