Cat - last month, a day or so before my period was due, I had a stabbing pain in my lower left abdomen. It came and went several times, then gave me one excruciating burst so bad that I felt faint and broke out into a sweat - then it faded away. (

Sounds similar to what I had, except mine was dead center and upward and lasted several hours. I have several fibroids so maybe it is something related though I'm not convinced totally. I broke out in a sweat also, and went white as a ghost which is how F realised something more than usual was wrong, especially given I couldn't breathe or speak...lol, he feels all helpless when these things happen.:(

I really love menopause

At first it was hard (both physically and psychologically), because mine was surgically induced. Losing the ovaries and estrogen production was a shock to my system. The hot flashes/sweats, mood swings etc were awful. Losing my natural lubrication was bad too. The finality of my infertility was devastating.

It all got pretty much better with the addition of hormone replacement. I resisted for about 3 months, but finally gave in. My life has been totally improved. Now, 11 years in, the doctor wants me to consider coming off my estradiol. I'm reluctant. There's no history of breast cancer etc in my family and I'm still pretty young (48). I like the effect of estrogen in my system.

I sympathise with those of you who are dealing with the fibroid issue. I had them prior to my surgery although that's not the reason for my total hysterectomy. They can be really painful and I remember the heavy flow being awful. I sure don't miss it.

A word to those of you with low estrogen levels. Vaginal atrophy is painful in a bad way. The tissue becomes very fragile and will tear easily in that situation. You get tight, but don't stretch back out like you used to. In order to keep those tissues healthy, you need regular penetration. If you don't have a partner, your insertable toys are your friends. I made the mistake of ignoring penetration for a while (it's not all that important to me) and paid the price later. Even a small finger was difficult and painful to insert. Not good at all!:eek: The good news is that masturbation becomes important to your health. Your dominant might even mandate that you play on a regular basis just to keep everything in good working order. :D

Also, as time passes, don't be surprised if you need lubricant regardless of how aroused you are. I'm at that stage. Fortunately, there's all kinds of entertaining lubes on the market.

Thanks, Fury for this topic.
 
I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I just don't have the problems with this that everyone else has. Guess I shouldn't comment then, either.

Also, I already have a current cancer in my body and hormone therapy scares me because of that.

Again, my apologies.

OK, I'm feeling like I missed something. How could you have offended anyone? Seems like your post was common sense and your own honest perspective. We all have our own unique body issues/needs/reasons for choosing whether or not to use HRT or other ways to cope with the challenges of this time in our lives. Some people sail through menopause without a hitch; others have a really hard time.

I think you're right that mental attitude plays a big part. When I was depressed and angry about it, my symptoms were way worse. When I came to a place of acceptance and was no longer grieving my infertility, I felt physically better and managed my symptoms better. At any rate, we can all learn from each other's experiences and that includes your experience too.:rose:
 
so, does this ever happen to other members of the menopause mafia?

You find yourself looking around you, either in real life or in your virtual world and you want to scream:

"What the fuck are you people thinking???"

Does this mean I've turned into a cranky old bitch? ;) I don't have ovaries to blame these moods on. I used to say it was PMS. Now, no convienient excuses. So, tell us about it. I'm going to work now (and I'll try to keep my fangs and claws retracted).
 
Grrr....started my period late last night and I'm already gushing - damn I hate this. Luckily I have no cramping but it's flowing like the proverbial red river :mad: Looks like I will be going to bed wearing a super plus tampon and a maternity pad :rolleyes:

So much for the pill....:eek:

LOL, you are fortunate that is enough!! For me it is 2 Tena super incontinence pads, topped with 1-2 maternity or all night pads (or 1 extra incontinence and 1 maternity), and that lasts on a good day about 3-4 hours. Isn't comfortable, especially since I have developed an allergy to them, and usually goes at that pace for a minimum of 4 days, then I get a day off before it starts up again for another 2-4 days...then I get 19-21 days break before we start again. I so like that I sometimes skip a month or 2 these days.:rolleyes:

I'm not sure that I'm actually in the menopause mafia but I do think the above question often.

To be honest, I always have. I've always been the more responsible person I know. My parents and grandparents were and are like my errant children.

When do I get to be a child?

You get to act like one and have fun sometimes with childlike enthusiasm. Does that count? :rose:
 
A funny about menopause I got in my inbox today..

Question: How many women with menopause does it take to change a light bulb?


Woman's Answer: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out ... And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER PICKS UP OR CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATEDFROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE!AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO CHANGES

THE TOILET PAPER ROLL !!

I'm sorry ... What was the question?
 
Inspired by KayKat.... I contribute another menopause giggle (well, at least it made me giggle)...especially the last three....

Signs That You Might Be Experiencing Menopause ​

You sell your home heating system at a yard sale. (Hot flashes)

The person you sleep with complains about snow piling up on the bed. (Nightsweats)

Your SO jokes that instead of buying a wood stove, s/he is using you to heat the family room this winter. Rather than just saying you are not amused, you shoot him/her. (Mood swings)

You write post-it notes with your kid's names on them. (Memory loss)

Your SO chirps, "Hi honey, I'm home." and you reply, "Well, if it isn't Ozzie f*cking Nelson". (Irritability)

The phenobarbital dose that wiped out the Heaven's Gate Cult gives you four hours of decent rest. (Sleeplessness)

You find Guacamole in your hair after a Mexican dinner. (Fatigue)

You change your underwear after every sneeze. (Mild incontinence)

You need Jaws Of Life to help you out of your car after returning home from an Italian restaurant. (Sudden weight gain)

You ask Jiffy Lube to put you up on a hoist. (Dryness)

You take a sudden interest in "Wrestlemania". (Female hormone deficiency)

You're on so much estrogen that you take your Brownie troop on a field trip to Chippendales. (Hormone therapy)

Hey, don't talk about my house that way

I just took out the garbage. I lead such an exciting life.

We only laugh

Because it's true. Well, sometimes some of it is true. LOL And yet it's still better than having a period every month. I'm just sayin'.

Anyone who lives in the desert will understand evaporative vs. refrigerated cooling. In short, refrigerated air conditioning is what most of the developed world knows. Evaporative cooling uses water to cool the air in a house and uses about 1/3 the electricity of refrigerated air. The caveat is that there can be little or no humidity outdoors. We have both types of cooling on our house.

Today, we went over 100 degrees for the first time this year. Our little evap was working overtime and there is this 2 hour period late in the afternoon when the house is really hot. I mean its a real oven.

But I am just cheap enough that I resisted everyone's pleas to switch to the expensive and less environmentally kind refrigerated cooler. Despite the fact that my body could have heated up the entire arctic. Its just two hours...right? It'll be 70 degrees when we go to bed.

I debated whether to post this in the carbon footprint thread or in here. I thought you all would be nicer. ;)

And as the sun sets...the ceiling fans whir...I feel pretty good. More or less... :D
 
Do you ever feel like your brain is on fire?

And like your body is gonna spontaneously combust? I used to feel that way sometimes and I admire your staunch resistance. In fact, it still happens sometimes. You're a better woman than me.

Have you seen those neck thingies that you soak in water and then put around your neck? They evaporate with the heat and it's supposed to cool you down. Some of the women at work are using those to help with their power surges. I'm thinking of getting one to try as the weather heats up here. My new (to me) house doesn't have any form of AC. I've read about both types you describe. I'm going to at least get a window unit or one of those portable ones to use when the heat/humidity factor goes out of control here. Last year, I survived pretty well without AC until July. But then, I had to turn it on. I was stewing in our southern steambath heat.

Good luck as the summer heats up!

Is there such a thing as anti-perspirant for menopause? If not, can we get our collective, fabulous brains together and invent it?

We'd make millions, I'm sure.....

(so tired of wondering how I, umm...smell....)
 
I bet you smell just fine; you might even smell better than you know

:)

In fact, given your hot, dry climate, doesn't it evaporate pretty quickly? And just maybe, your sweat intensifies the pheremones you give off that your partner likes about you anyway.

That's what my guy says happens with me. I can be all hot and grubby and worried that I stink (I never tell him I'm worried about it.... how embarrassing is that? ya know?) But, he'll grab me and bury his nose in the skin on various parts of my body and inhale. Then he tells me how "womanly I smell" and how he loves the smell of my skin. All I can figure is it's pheremones. Seems odd to me, but if he likes it, I'm happy.

I have used the baking soda based stuff for years. I bet you smell good to the ones that matter babe, but I do know the feeling and personally, I hate to sweat.:rose:
 
If you sweat well, consider yourself lucky. Those that do not, and this runs strong in my family, are much more prone to heat exhaustion, heat stroke, chronic itching and various skin disorders.

I don't sweat much at all. However, when I do, my husband LOVES it. He prefers that I don't shower before sex. I think a LOT of men do.
