[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 384500, member: 135"] OK, so I'm OLD...but I still vaguely remember menopause. :raspberry-tounge: Actually, I had very few symptoms. I never had any problems before with my periods and when menopause came, they just became shorter with longer spaces in between. I don't think I had any big mood swings; no emotional problems. Just great joy at not having to deal with that any more. A few hot flashes, but not like a lot of people have. And now that I'm well past it, life is better than ever. :blushing: Advice: get a good facial skin moisturizer - it's worth the money. Plan to slather on body lotion every day, especially in cold weather. Find a hair style that's easy to keep and looks fabulous on you. If you color your hair, have fun with it. Mine is bright red. Everybody knows at my age it's gray anyway so I pick a color that looks good on me and makes me smile. Don't dress like a teenager but don't dress like an old lady either. Have fun with what you wear. Do see the doctor to make sure that you are really dealing with what you think you are. No sense in taking chances. I am tired of people saying how good men have it and that we get old. We get fabulous the older we get. My life is better than it's ever been. [/QUOTE]
