Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

I just don't feel like looking this up. How lomg does menopause last. I know that everything is different for everyone, but what's the "general" time frame? I've had no periods for 17 mos. now. I'm done. Iread the post by someone entitled that very thing. I too am tired of being a raving lunatic, grouchy mom, grouchy wife, psycho road rage woman, etc. Will it EVER end.

I feel like I have enough of a load to bear what with having Chron's disease and Fibromyalgia, and I have had enough of this outright attack on my body, spirit and mind. HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone's experience is different and the best way to gauge how your menopause will be is by how it was for your mother.
Many women find that their symptoms go away or at least lessen in severity within the first 5 years of being post menopause.
some women suffer hot flashes etc for the rest of their lives.
