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.
So shocking to find out I'm approaching menopause - yep, I'm 53, but yesterday, I was just 25.
I went to have my annual pap smear yesterday, and much to my surprise, felt pain! And even worse, my doctor said that I have "estrogen vagina". Meaning, lacking stretch-ability. Hmmm really? Is the dust flying?
Anxiety, worrying, zits and wrinkles. A muffin top that I haven't had before.
Geesh!
Itchy skin
Anxiety
Depression
Aches and pain
not wanting to do much
pass me the M & M s and a good movie. Maybe a good bottle of wine - forget the glass, just get me a straw.
