Amen!! I used to think my grandmother was being silly when she'd wave a fan. I thought that menopause was when a woman felt a little overheated, like a humid August day! Ha!! My menopause was brought about by surgery so my body didn't have time to build up to it. Dr. told me it was like driving my body over the menopause cliff and throwing it into the ravine of shock...so gentle was he, lol! He also told me to expect a lot of the same symptoms as pregnancy...without the ending. Not a good thing to tell a 26 year old woman who's just lost her chance to have more children but I've moved past and can see it was for the best...now if I can only get past all of these hot flashes! :lol:
