So I guess I'm just "hormonal!" LOL!!!
Doc says it could be temporary, or could be this is the way it's going to be. that's life!
hope everyone is well!
Wow glad to hear you are ok. Hope you feel better soon.
Blessings

I'm swotting for exams tomorrow and next Tuesday. I'm convinced that menopausal symptoms are making it harder! Every time I think I've learnt something new I'm convinced that something I used to know has fallen out of my head! The memory better be working at 9.30 tomorrow morning!

Anyone here deal with ..."fluctuating desires"? What helps ya'll? I feel so "schitsophrenic". I mean one min I can't get enough of him the next I fussin for him to get away from me OR irritating irratic bleeding and pain gets in the way. The whole thing makes me crabby. Half the time I can't remember simple things. Ive been such a space cadet. My moods ....ho boy fluctuate like Dr Jeckly/Hyde. I don't know who I am anymore. Would ya'll pray for my family? Escpecially my DH? Poor guy

I get like that too. I have to avoid seeing people a few days before my period, otherwise I am likely to tell them EXACTLY what I think of them and it isn't pleasant. The worst time for these feelings is about three days before the period and about three days into the period. That coupled with the flooding and clots, means that I am confined to the house for almost a week each month. It is horrible.

I'm thinking of getting Novasure for the heavy periods but not sure whether that will effect the mood swings. I suppose it might do.

Things have been getting a little better for me; hot flushes are perhaps warm flushes now and the headaches fewer and further between. I even had a few weeks symptom-free around the time I got my period. I'm on my second course of Menoherbs II http://www.victoriahealth.com/vhstore/pc/viewproducts.asp?idproduct=48 I don't know whether these would be available in the US, maybe something similar?

If what I'm going through now is menopause I dont think I will make it.
I am so angry and I dont know how to deal with it.
I am severely highly strung and I seem to be getting worse, I think I have repressed anger from emotional abuse from my mother, I know I have terrible mood swings, but can't be sure of the source of it, menopause or my past. I do feel like I have a hot poker on the small of my back and my legs burn internally as well. Mental confusion too and zero libido.

Can anyone please tell me if this has to go on for a couple of years, is there some cycle of it, where I can look forward to symptom free days, I cant do this indefinitely for a couple of years, the despair of my moods is too much.
