You will
survive Menopause, honest, even though it may not seem like it right now.
You should
take something to help you with the symptoms, which can be:
Hot flashes,
Excessive perspiring (including Night-Sweats),
Excessive bleeding.
I took an
over-the-counter product for hot flashes, but I don’t know if this item even
exists today. However, do a little research and try one of the products
available now.
I did not
take any hormone replacement.
I can tell
you what I did and you can ask your doctor for advice, but remember these are
YOUR decisions to make.
I am not a
medical person; I make no specific suggestions, except to say that getting
something (or someone) to help is probably a good idea.
In my menopause
memories, I can recall many evenings coming home after work, and the tail end of
the trip was on a trolley. I was fatigued, which worsens symptoms; I started
out at the back of the trolley, and as I came forward to eventually get off, the
recurring hot flashes got so bad that by the time I reached the front I was
practically stripped down to my underwear. Really!
I conducted
an experiment one freezing December night:
While waiting for my husband in a car, I rolled down the window during some
very strong flashes. But it was not surprising that I remained warm, because my
body heat completely overcame the incoming cold, and made the air, itself, feel
as gentle as a summer day.
It was amazing.
