I'm still knee-deep in peri-menopause, if that's what it's called...I've had what could be interpreted as two hot flashes over the course of two years or so. I know that because they were so incredibly distinctive, and when I described them, I was told by 2 diff people that that is what they were.... Still no other symptoms beyond an impossibly hard time shedding pounds; and some odd physical symptoms, like allergies that I never had before. I fear the onset of the psychological symptoms, but in my older sisters, I've mostly witnessed just irritability. And Mother has always been irritable, so.... LOL


I look forward to the male menopause contributions..I want to hear about all the  affairs.... Wink Wink

Love that there are men here!!!

I started Activella, plant based estrogen and progesterone. One week so far on it and I feel the difference!!

Had FSH tested and it showed clearly I am menapausal. So 5 days on this, and I'm sleeping!!!!!!!

That helps hugely in making the world a better place.  Grin Will see how this goes for now. Only thing
the package said was to take for a short period of time. What does that mean?  Undecided

Will ride it out for as long as I can stand it.

woot!!

My migraines have certainly had some connection with hormones, though in a rather confused way - periods, menopause, going on to HRT, coming off HRT (I've no other recognisable triggers apart from stress sometimes).  Now all those are well behind me and I still occasionally get them.  Sorry, not a very helpful answer Smiley.

I had no idea this thread existed...

My mom loved menopause. She was always cold, easily freezing - and all of a sudden she benefitted from those bursts of body heat.

She even sighed with pleasure when yet another heatwave flooded her - she was still taken by surprise.
