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.
Okay, okay, so I'll probably be on this Roller Coaster of Hell for another 3-12 yrs. If anybody out there is postmenopausal -or is in the final stages of menopause-, can you please tell me if it eases up AT ALL?? I know every woman's different (my mother-in-law simply stopped menstruating one day and that was it!! The lucky &%*$!!), but if I know that I don't have to go through it as badly as I'm doing now, if there's ANY CHANCE that it will ease up before finally stopping, it'd sure be helpful!
Each of us is different in evry respect, so that includes menopause, and perimenopause, just hang in. I am on HRT which dr prescribed, but for me perimenopause and menopause is about 10 yrs . I do have most of the symtoms under controll. I am down right now, but do not know exact cause, but may be partially my menopause.
