Menopause Support Group
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.

Hope you are getting some relief with your symptoms! It's a tough process. There is only thing i hate to hear other people say and it usually comes from a male doctor. "You should feel empowered now because you don't have periods" if only it was that simple, right!
God bless and have a great day!
Vicki.
Pauline, keep that sense of humor it will come in handy!
God Bless you guys!
