Early Menopause?

The very best thing you can do is eat very very healthy. It is so important all of our lives but even more so during menopause. I went into surgical menopause at 30. Eat your fruits and vegetables, stay away from processed sugar and caffein, don't smoke and make sure your taking time in your life for things that make you happy. Be careful of hormone products in the stores. Not all of the ingredience in them are good for you. Trust me, I've tried them and they can be just as dangerous as HRT. I was on them for years and started having seizures from Premarin.Your mental state is as important as your physical state. During menopause your body can start to act so differently, recognize the things that stress you out and learn to deal with them in a positive way because with your body is already going thru hormonal changes, you really don't want to end up with a lot of stress hormones as well. It can really throw your emotions out of wack. Be good to yourself, just as you would to family and friends. Eat right and be happy!

It took a few years for menopause to take effect. I started around 45 and was told I needed a hysterectomy, but didn't get one. I am 50 now and stopped having periods about 6 months ago. I would have a couple of months without one and all of a sudden have one. I had the hot flashes and mood swings. All the symptoms everyone talks about. It's pretty accurate. Hope it goes well for you.
