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.
Hello, Well I have been in the valley like you would NOT BELIEVE talk about spiritual warfare! BUT I have huge praise report some of you know that I have been fighting a very very horrible fear of going to the (Dentist) oral surgeron for the last two years had one abscess right after another could only chew on the two first front teeth all sides of mouth had bad teeth 6 total. I canceled every appointment Even got red alert flags up where most oral surgeons would 't even see me again. I had such an unreal phobia the devil had Me torture with them for 2 longs years! Well I knew that I could not last much longer and that I had to act on my FAITH talk about hard! God sent an old pick up truck in front of me the other day and it said TRUST GOD. And I knew He let that old pick up truck get me that message. Then this morning around 4AM God allowed me to hear the birds sing the sweetest tune and then HE put a sparrow in my front yard and He reminded me of the scripture where we are much more precious then the sparrow and that He takes care of them . My scheduled oral surgery was at 8:45 this morning and PTL God and I got it done . I was telling God that my body is very afraid but because I was gonna step out and put my faith in action and that I was going to fully trust Him. I just got out of recovery a little bit ago but just wanted to give honor where honor was due and that GLORY HONOR AND PRAISE BELONGS TO GOD!!!!! I thank Him so much! I could write a book on those two years of horror! Still dealing with menopause !

Thank you all for your support the two years I fought this horrible dental fear! Now update on my menopause journey I havent had a period other than maybe a light pink that lasted less than a day since Aug 2011 but because I had 6 months of the most hobbile panic and anixiety I've suffered distant from family members mainly a few of my older children who just did not understand the symptoms I was suffering when I just couldnt go to the funtions they wanted me to attend I would try and go, but went into bad panic attacks right in the parking lot and would have to leave to make a long story short two of my sons have turned their backs on me and I can no longer see my grandchildren I have apologized but they ignore my text messaging and calls. My relationship with my husband is as bad and worse than ever. I cry alot but theres one thing I have to say through it all the only one I could run to and beg for help and ask to hold me was God and HE did. Even though I still can't see my grandkids and relations are still horrible. I am hanging in there, and it's been and is the roughest ride of my life . I use to want to commit suicde and end this nightmare but I have two special needs children at home who still need me and plus God would not forgive me for such an act. I no longer feel sucidical. I know God will one day make everything alright. Women suffer so much and for so long and they need love REAL love and care and compassion but this world has gotten so cold and harden that it's just not much in any one anymore to see the pain of a hurting loved one. I know that in the valley it's rough but I never acknowledge God in the valley with me before until this last year. I knew He was out there but the enlightment of it became very clear this past year. I also use to think that God didn't care much for women and I would question that so much but I was so wrong I just didn't understand God's plan of structure and aurthority or that God's way and thoughts and plans are all for our good. Jeremiah 29:11 I have lost a lot in my life and the scars and pain left behind or just reminders to me now How God was truly carrying me. I Trust that one day God will allow me to see my grandchildren and touch the hearts of my sons. They are in their early 30's and have a good life maybe they just don't really know the suffering I have been in. I wonder if I will have another period or if it's the deal you go 6 mos or so without one and just before the 12 months finish line you get one. I hope all is well with you ladies and if I can be of support in any way please let me know. You know when you feel unloved and unwanted and lonely and lost Talk with God HE is the one who truly loves you and cares for you and I can promise you one thing He will take your hand and walk you through this journey! Just Trust Him.
