stUpID MeNoPause!!!!


Stupid Menopause!!!!!
Anyone relate??
-not sleeping because we are tired of lying in a pool of sweat, too hot for the covers then freezing because our drenched bodies get cold …

-just a bit cranky because the estrogen levels we finally had gotten used to are now gone …

- losing bone density faster than a pint of chocolate ice cream on a hot Thursday night …
-have lost that full thick gorgeous hair we once wore with complete abandonment …
those of us who see ourselves in the mirror and scream “what the hell happened there?” …

-strict dieting...even eating next to nothing and not being able to lose weight...even gaining???

It is no fun being a cantankerous, menopausal hell-on-wheels! Especially if you aren't used to it!

Well I knew something was wrong when my usual charming self found it okay to flip the bird to someone that ticked me off on the highway -

Or how's about finding myself befuddled and not able to find common words or recent memory in day-to-day conversations, sure kicks those hot flashes up a notch or ten!

Simple to the point, menopause sucks, unless of course you look to the lighter side!

Menopause Word to the wise: Get over it! Get on with it! Get your attitude in check, we can't help our's!

My husband, being unhappy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods.

We've discovered that when I'm in a good mood it, turns green and when I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a big red mark on his forehead!!

Next time he'll buy me a diamond...duh!!

i experienced hot flashes but no mood swings.. i usually look at the sunny and funny side of the situation.. for me, the glass is always half full.

Well it so happened I always look at the brighter side of things!

I love menopause. no dysmennorhea, no messy days..pi;lls can replace lost hormones.. calcitabs will improve bone density..mood ring will more likely be frequently green!!
