menopause question

Explicit personal anatomical information below - do not read if offended or prudish. Wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms and how did you resolve them. I think I may have started menopause and have done some research on my symptoms. Seems like dry tissues and URI are a symptom, of which I have had both. Very rarely do I get URIs, but after this one was resolved (I hope), seems like i have somewhat dry but itchy and somewhat achy ...

I am forgetful. I am fatigued. My perception is off. When asked a question sometimes I know in my mind what to say, but then the wrong answer comes out my mouth, i.e. "is the elevator going up or down" I would say going down, but in my mind I knew it was going up and that is what I thought I was saying until it comes out of my mouth as opposite. ...

I'm 46 and I think it's too early for full menopause, but can you start going into premenopause much sooner? What's the average age for that? The reason I ask is that for the past year, I've been having some weird symptoms and am just now wondering if it has anything to do with hormones/menopause symptoms; the worst of which was an episode where I woke up with the room spinning around me. It was terrifying. Then right afterwards I got really nau ...

I swear, about every 3-4 weeks or so, that's what it feels like. In the exact same location, feels the same way, and I haven't had a period in almost a year but these cramps seem to come on regularly. All original parts intact, nothing removed. What a pain, no pun intended. ...

I guess it's time... Menopause is knock knock knocking on my door. I cannot believe the symptoms that come along with this! Hot flashes are bad enough, but dry skin, I don't heal like I used to and now a little cut or scrape will be a dark scar, unpredicable periods, dry mouth, fatigue and mood swings! Forgetfulness, can't concentrate... The worst has got to be the fatigue. I can't wake up in the mornings, but I can't fall to sleep at night!& ...

Does anyone have any advice for treating insomnia related to menopause? This is the second night I haven't been able to sleep at all and it is getting very frustrating!! I have been taking melatonin but it is not helping at all. TIA! ...

anyone who is/has gone through menopause: Did your libido go through the roof? OMG! I feel like I've been given a Viagra injection!!! I have an appointment with the doc to see about hormone replacement therapy. maybe that's it? ...

Has anyone noticed their depression becoming worse when going through menopause? I am currently going through a major depressive episode and was reading something the other day about postmenopausal depression. I have been going through menopause and was just curious about this. TIA! ...

though they are erratic, usually about 3 months apart at this point. I feel like I am losing my mind....had an episode of vertigo a few weeks ago followed by extreme anxiety and nausea, wound up in the ER (and if you knew me you'd know I wouldn't even think of going unless I thought I were dying)....they found nothing wrong, sent me home on meclizine, which does nothing. I still have this weird anxious/dizzy feeling that usually builds up over the day, getting worse until I ...

Has anyone used Wild Yam for menopausal dryness and did not work or has anyone used Estrace Cream? Thanks so much! ...

I found out about a year ago that I'm in full-blown menopause. I have all the characteristic issues that go along with it. All of my life I've had to watch what I eat and try to exercise regularly (but that isn't going nearly as well as it should be right now). Some days I just have no motivation whatsoever. My tighter and tighter fitting clothes should be motivation enough, but apparently it isn't. I'm so tired of this weight gain and feeli ...

I am really having problems with mental fogginess related to menopause. I am currently on estrogen and progesterone. Does anyone have an advice on how to treat this? When it is bad, I can't concentrate to work. Thanks! ...

I have been transcribing for 32 years now, am 54 years old. I started menopause 1-1/2 years ago (so I guess since they say you have to have missed a period for 1-full year that I am officially menopausal). My world seems topsy turvy. Is there light at the end of the tunnel. I have tried working a second job for the past year off and on, but it has been too difficult to concentrate. After 10 years of working from home, because of the slump in production decided ...

My LMP was almost 3 yrs ago. Not too many hot flashes, about 3 a day, but the ones at night wake me up, so I don't get good sleep. I'm 46 now, menarche at 10. Saw an ob/gyn 3 ysa and said my LH and FSH were too low to be having any more periods. Any info, this is just the pits. Mood swings, swelling, weight gain, you know the gory details. Tried soy pills and tofu/soy products, but made the hot flashes worse and will not use hormones. I ...

My menopausal symtoms are driving me crazy. I have tried vitamin E, blackcohosh (which gave me headaches) and soy isoflavones with no relief. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I am not seeing my gynecologist until April and I can't deal with this until then!! ...

I'm 48 and started having weird periods about six months ago. Kind of figured I was gearing up for menopause. Ive had a couple of hot flashes, but and just irregular bleeding, but that's about it. Well, I skipped my last couple of periods and thought great I'm done with periods. Got my period a couple of days ago, and whew boy did I feel like crap. I have been emotionally wrecked for two days - crying at the drop of a hat and I've just felt ...

The facts of Pat Tillman's death were manipulated and Jessica Lynch was molded into a hero by the Dubya's message massagers. Now many question every bit of information coming from government. The damage done by dimbulb Dubya just keeps on reverberating. ...

I am making a blueberry pie to take to my stepfather tomorrow, and I thought it would like nice to use a cookie cutter in the shape of a bell and apply that piece of crust to the top of the pie. If I use a little bit of water to attach it, will it bake to the top crust securely? A lot of you sound like you are pretty handy in the kitchen! The lemon sponge pie I made for Thanksgiving was wonderful. Thanks to the person who suggested the allrecipes.com webs ...

I'm always facinated at some people who think all social problems and situations are so black and white.Abortion is here to stay, whether it's legal or not, just like it's always been an option when a woman finds herself facing the impossible situation of an unwanted pregnancy. Wishing it wasn't an option has never worked.However, when a discussion comes up about abortion, we women are strictly divided. Black and White in our opinions.This is a complicated issue. It doesn ...

Don't know if you remember my last posts awhile back about a stray cat we started feeding and took care, gave her shelter for the winter and she had kittens. We've taken the kittens in and adore them all. Now...here she is 3 or 4 months later, every once in awhile I'll get a glimpse of her nursing them. Vet told us milk has to be dried up before they can fix her. However, she is a stray and she has been going out walking around the neighborhood like she has ...

I have not found this yet and wonder if others have. People who are unemployed. No pension from a company, no nothing. What kind of health insurance will they get. My partner is unemployed. If this passes I will cover myself. What is out there (or in the bill) for people who are unemployed. He is not old enough to receive Medicare/cade. ...

Okay, here is a question that I have not seen come up here. While watching news today this just crossed my mind. If the government sets an insurance rate you have to pay based upon what you make per year, do they take into account all your other bills, and that sometimes as ICs we don't get any work coming in at times, and then what they set is more than what you can afford (i.e. more money than your paycheck and you still have to pay all your bills). As ICs I'm sure ...

Thought O and Biden were against oil drilling? Dylan Ratigan just had a snippet on from O stating to that effect. Now he opens up offshore drilling? ...

To anyone who has any knowledge of Social Security benefits, I am wondering if an ex-spouse of a male veteran who has passed away can obtain "survivor benefits" (?) from Social Security if she has his children...even though he had been remarried at the time of his demise?? Children are all over 21. I have heard that there is something like this and if so, how would I go about obtaining it? thanks in advance for anyone's help. ...

Due to huge fibroids, bilateral ovarian cysts, and a myriad of symptoms, I've been told I need a TAH. Doctor tells me I'll be out of work 6 weeks but as I'm an MT and just sit at my desk anyway, I don't see a 6-week absence as being necessary. Has anyone here had a TAH as an MT or with a desk job and how long was it necessary for you to be off work? ...

One of my 2yo males has a cyst on the side of his head. I just noticed it this morning, it's about the size of a golfball and underneath his ear. Its not in his mouth. He is eating and drinking fine, doesn't seem to be in any pain. How could it have gotten this big without me seeing it? Anybody have any experience with these? I called the vet and waiting for a call back. I did some research and found out it is most likely benign, soft ...

How many would like to see the party titles go away? I've read about some ideas that people have, but they are not linked to any political party. My question is if someone had an idea that would help people get jobs, get the economy back in order and other good things for the people and the country, would you vote for them if they were not in your party? ...

This may sound like a stupid question and please do not flame me for my ignorance, but I am trying to learn and trying to make my political decision making count for something. so here is my question..... If a potential presidential candidate withdrew his intent to run for the presidency earlier in the year, can that potential candidate still be placed on a "write in vote?" Or does the person we want to use for a write in vote have to still be "running for president?" reason ...

Does anyone know if the pink Dancing Vaginas are going to put on a performance? I was kind of thinking they might put in an appearance the same night as Sandra Fluck, or has she been ousted? I didn't see her name on the last guest list. ...
