to put me out of my misery ;)

Went to the Dr. yesterday and I'm in pre menopausal,just what I need

more memory loss
more lack of focus
more sleepless nights
more temper tantrum


anyone else? can you give me some encouraging words?

Welcome to the club? :o

Actually, there was a really neat seminar thingie on PBS on Sunday ALL about menopause. It had all sorts of neat info and what to do through all of the stages of menopause. (and the doctor giving it was just hilarious). There's a book that goes with it and the seminar is available on DVD.

Did anyone else see it? I can't remember the title.

I'll look it up and post it as soon as I find it, if someone doesn't already know what it is.

Thanks Proscrire. I sure could use the laughs some days, now that my beloved coffee is prone to causing hot flashes :( man I miss those 5 cup days! Concerta works better though, so I suppose I am better off regardless what with the coffee issues.

ya know what i was flipping channels and did see that but kept moving seeing I'M NOT THAT OLD...lol.. That was before I went to the Dr.

Thanks I'll look into that

But you know I am sending you great BIG (((((HUGS)))):p Thanks Rach. We all needed that!

FTM knows I am just teasing her and that I wish she did not have to be going through this.

Will it help if I send great BIG (((HUGS))) to all of you..............cuz I most certainly will

I knew you were kidding Rach, and so does FTM. Yes the hugs do help, and I promise not to sweat on you if you give me fair warning when you plan to hug me. :D

Welcome to the cclub mom.... Dr Christiane Northrup has some great books on just that perimenpause and menopause... I love her Womens Body woman wisdom, my mom is reading my menopause book.


What happen to the sub forum about perimenopause?

one , stay away from caffine, it is bad for hot flashes makes them worse. So does sugar. I am now on 2 meds. Hormone and havent had one hot flash I can sleep at night, the forgeting is better but my brain is fryed because of school. Try all that, also start with the soy milk , Silk is good one. Eat soy beans, Take magniusm at night to help with sleeping. Take Calcium + D 2 times a day.... well there is some of what I do.... Oh and exercise at least 3 time a week... it really helps... Oh dont forget to eat right.... an d BREATHE

I am NOT that old either LOL...

I hate to think going through menopause will make us feels like our ADHD is worsening!!!

but, then again, those without ADHD may get some insight to our entire lives of scattyness :-)
