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.

Hi everyone,
I will be 47 in January...My periods have been getting irregular and lighter, and last only 2-3 days now..My last period consisted mainly of a day of spotting..
I do have night sweats, a hard time getting a full night sleep, tender breasts...anxiety, anxiety and more anxiety!!
Now, I have new symptoms that scare me sooo much! My thigh and arm muscles seem so fatigued and achey. I havent lost strength in them...or any range of motion...but it almost feels as if I have been over excersing and I havent...Anyhow with all this it has made my anxiety worse because I imagine the worse, and think i have ms or als...Anyone out there that could give me some support and reassurance, I would so appreciate it....Thanx :)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

Why did God give Menopause to women? Because men couldn't handle it! ;-)
And I wish you all the best Yankee Rose for an easy Menopause ... :-)
