I told one of the expectant younger women at church one day that being pregnant and being menopausal had a lot in common, not being able to sleep, bloat, hormones,heat, but at the end she'd get a sweet little baby and I got whiskers and gray hair!

The chin hairs.. I wrote a story about that I might post last week. We can all relate..:) Yes we cannot have sweet little babies either ..
HUGGGGGGGGG

I found this so timely. I had a personal summer event at work on Monday that caused me to remove all clothing in the bathroom and wring it out. I use ice packs at night. I can actually turn off the heat in the house in the winter time and heat up the bedroom just fine. I think the worst is the desert. Hate that.

It was hot here this summer visiting my kids.. I was 100% hotter..
I can warm up a bed in 10 seconds flat.
I cannot even imagine those poor women enduring AZ.
Hugs to them all.. well hugs to all of us while I am at it.:)

Actually, some of us do go through menopause with the only major symptom being a cessation of menstrual periods.

One is not necessarily "doomed" to misery for several years.

You are one the lucky ones and I bow to you 'bear is gray"

I agree that I have been one of the lucky ones. My reproductive system was great - while it lasted - but I menopaused out at 42. Which I've been told is very early when one still has all one's "parts"

You must have had some sort of secret and should bottle it..:)
