Light at the End of the Menopause Tunnel

menopauseThanks for the opportunity to share a part of my life that most women don’t want to talk about. I live away from my family, so I haven’t really had anyone to talk to about it.  I think it is good for women to talk to each other.  Hopefully my story will help someone.
Well, menopause was an awful experience for me.  I had perimenopause for five long years.  Really, my periods had been hard since I was 14 years old.  It just seemed like they got longer and with more bleeding when perimenopause started.

Finally full blown menopause began.  I felt like I was in a tornado.  My emotions were up and down.  I felt like I was going to explode at everyone for anything.  My husband would pick on me, which definitely didn’t help.  My kids thought I was going crazy.  I tried herbs and medicines, but nothing fixed it, some maybe helped a little.  One minute I was up then the next down, one minute hot, then the next cold.  My hair was real dry. I was afraid I would lose it all!  My husband really pulled away from me.  I didn’t know what to do.  I loved him so much, it just seemed like he couldn’t do anything right.  We fought a lot, I cried even more.  After a few years of this, we went for counseling and that helped some.  Finally, I got over most of the symptoms.  I feel like a new person.  My husband says the aliens took me away for 8 years and at last returned me to earth!  Well, now that menopause is over I look forward to a great rest of my life.  I hope my husband doesn’t go through his mid life crisis now!
