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.
I've been this was for about 4 years. Meno was surgical in 1999. I was using estrogen patches till about 4 years ago. That is when I got down and over reacted to everything.

Of course, I do work with the public and sometimes they just are not right either. Some people can be so stupid.
When Mom doesn't feel good like she did this morning, I started to cry. Got really upset. She slept some then we had lunch and now she feels much better. No, not the flu but growling in the gut.

But I got out Suzanne Summers book about meno and read where I am not really crazy but low on some hormones. I have a new dr and don't want to try to get the patches again. Don't believe he would let me have them anyway. I am old enough for medicare now. But I sure felt better with the patches!!!
Guess I needed to vent! Thanks.

This past week there was both Cow Appreciation Day and National I Love Horses Day so naturally... Hope you made some moo-neigh this weekend!
Anyway, I am putting on some progestone cream when I think about and things seem to be a bit better. Also trying to get back on my B vitamins. They help the nerves.
When I had the hysterectomy my physical body needed it. But my spirit didn't want it. Emotions make things more difficult. I wish there had been easier treatments 20 years ago!
