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.
Tinnitus, anxiety, breathing problems, acid reflux, diverticulosis, umblical hernia, mental issues, are just a few of my issues now. Oh and painful sex. Not that I even want any kind of sex at all. Where did my life go. I sit in my house every day thinking what the hell happened. I can't find help or maybe I don't want the kind of help they want to give me. Bio, HRT, Birth control pills and now a pill on the market to ease the pain of sex. I don't want that kind of help. Why can't they find a cure for this sh.t. Oh that's right it's not a disease. How come it feels like the worse freaking disease ever!
I feel like crap every day! I am seeing a councilor and I am getting resentful toward this councilor I feel like screaming at him I don't really have mental problems it's all in my body!. I have literally lost myself to this! the worst part of of it is I really question whether it's menopause or have I just really gone crazy!!
Isn't that possible (going crazy late in life)
My period starts every 24-27 days like clock work. very light but spot until about a week before I start my next period. Is that too little estrogen or to much. I don't know and am scarred of starting anything! I don't even know what to do!!

To MKal.. I honestly think you hit it right on the head ! I feel like I am completely different person and you're first paragraph really makes sense to me. It's the closet to how I feel. I can really try to be positive but no amount of positive thinking is helping me at this point. My mind and body are not the same, simple as that.!!! but I have a few people in my life that think it's all in my head!!.. I do have a gnyo appointment coming up so am hoping and praying this doctor knows what their doing! I pray a lot. I hope god sends me to the right doctor.
I totally think you're right about my councilor. I really like him but he really doesn't get it. I just hate hurting his feelings. I think I am going to have to find a female. He really thinks this is all anxiety and depression.
I hope the rest of February is better for you. I hope you feel better. I will pray for you and just wish the very best for you.
Thanks to all of you for the great advice and support!
