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.

Anyone ever get like a weird feeling or numbness feeling in your lip? Or and plus tingling in legs and arms such weird skin feelings? Last period was 3 months ago and it was a flood! I'm 56 when will this ever stop!
Please let me know if any of you get the weird skin feelings and what parts of body do you get them?

I get the tingling through out my body also the weird numbness feeling in on lips but only for a few seconds. More hormonal crap I think.

Hi there.. you are definitly not alone in this. I constantly get numbness and tingling in my lips.. I so wish it was just that but it occurs in my face, legs, arms and hands as well. Most nights my hands go numb to the point that it wakes me up.
My menopause is chemo induced, I am only 47 years young and it started close to one year ago and although I would love to say it is getting better there has been no letting up.
Started on amitryptiline{sp} to help relax my muscle and help me sleep. Although I know it does help, it has not stopped it all together. I find that when I get to much sleep it gets worse which is hard for me as I am also suffering from fybromyalgia and undergoing chemo for lymphoma.
On the up side.. things could be so much worse. I still wake up each day and when the tingling starts I think at least I can feel it. With each event find a positive and keep that thought.. ...

Keep smiling.. Makes others wonder what you are up to.. ;)

My hands are sound asleep and tingly and it takes me forever to get the blood back to them in the mornings. I lay there with my hands in the air before I can get up and get going in the morning. It is very frustrating. So this is part of menopause too???
