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.

WHAT DO YOU LADIES DO TO PREVENT THOSE MOOD SWINGS FROM ONE MOMENT TO THE NEXT. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MORE VITAMINS, JUST ADDED B-12, AND CLACIUM MAGNESIUM. I HEAR THESE VITAMINS GIVE SOME RELIEF. I FEEL LIKE I'M ALWAYS IN AN ARGUMENT WITH MY SPOUSE OVER ANY LITTLE THING. BEEN TOGETHER 32 YRS AND STILL IN LOVE.. IT MUST BE ME!!!!!

Things got rough, and I've been taking those and other nutrients all my adult life. They never affected the emotional roller coaster at all, and I don't like drugs. I finally just faced the fact that if I wanted to stay with my DH, I had to get a grip, and I did. I still have my bad days, but he can handle one occasionally and still love me.
Hang in there. Give yourself a day shopping once in a while, also a "spa day" when you give yourself a facial, pedicure and manicure, hair conditioning, etc. Learn to meditate. He's not going to suddenly stop loving you. Give yourself some time to make this change in emotional attitude.
Hugs.

I take a multivitamin with everything you have mentioned in it plus much more. I also take an omega3 supplement with flax seed, I also take chasteberry, and a multi oil supplement made from evening primrose, black currant and more flax seed,
I also use an over the counter progesterone cream that I believe helps me sleep a little better and therefore be less grouchy.

I find having some time by myself helps me alot. Even if I'm not actually doing anything in particular, just being by myself is wonderful. It also gives me something to look forward to which helps me through the other days.
