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'm a whiny, cranky mess. I'm 48, and about day 130 with no period. Between hot flashes, sleepless nights - and feeling exhausted, water retension, aches and pains, no energy/motivation to exercise,....I'm not quite sure how to cope. So what gets you through your bad days? If you're in menopause, did these things get better? Because I feel bad, it feels like I'll feel bad forever. Ugh.
avoid alcohol and refine carb and soda. I had tried to educate myself more on this a good book from the library can help. I find Dr. OZ and his website very helpful also.
