The thing about the hands not working right, not cooperating, the feeling of just wanting to run away. I'm there and I can relate Livy!

Been there, done that -- it only lasts ten to twelve years   |

The hot flashes are the worst. And sometimes absolutely everything gets on my nerves. My menopause started at 38 because I had to have a total hysterectomy, ovaries too.

I'm there now. Started 6 years ago. Sometimes I feel like I'm sleeping in an oven.Then I'm happy one minute nervous and jittery the next, then depressed. I hate to think I have another 4-6 years of this!  |

Yes, I experience the same things! And the hot flashes... one minute I'm covered up, the next minute I'm kicking them all off and then back on again! ARGH! |

Oh man, I'm not looking forward to this...at all! I already should be locked up when I have PMS. I get mad at little things, and I get very emotional...crying over dumb things. I saw my mom getting hot flashes a lot. She told me it feels like your burning from the inside out. Why are the women the lucky ones?  |

I hate to think I have another 4-6 years of this! I have a friend who is 80.... still having hot flashes !! She's a riot -- keeps all her younger friends in stitches over this -- and is "helpful" to those just starting up because she makes it all seem like fun -- a right of passage !!! |

If men had to go through half of what women did, the human race would die out. And yet women are considered the "weak ones". |

If men had babies the world population would be half of what it is because they would stop after the first one.

I read up on this perimenopause stuff and read that our brain is estrogen-starved, so we go through what people go through when they are going off a drug they are addicted to. Our brain is losing estrogen, so we suffer......for awhile...sometimes years and years!
