OK finally a topic i can speak to from experience lol...
I started going through menopause several years before it actually was completed .. It takes a full year of NO periods for it to be considered complete .. So it has been 7 years since i went through menopause and im sure, i would hope that they know a lot more since then.
I was miserabl. The hot flashes were horrible but worse than that i thought i might murder my entire family <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0"> My mood swings were bad.. I chose NOT to do any replacement therapy because of all the meds i was already taking .. Now looking back im sure something for the mood swings might have been a good idea <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
I would ask you GYN and your Adult C/F dr. I switched last year to an adult c/f dr for that reason.. The peds drs are great but i felt i needed someone that could speak to adult situations <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
I do feel that a woman's hormones have a lot to do w/ our health w/ c/f .. I , and some others have mentioned how great we felt while pregnant .. Why is that???
I hope that you can find a happy medium .. Take care, keep us posted and God Bless.. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0"> joni
