Ladies about menopause....?

Okay so my doctor has just informed me the reason I feel the way I do is because I'm starting the change(I'm 44). That is fine with me and I can handle just everything except the mood swings. I never know day to day what to expect. I can have a really good day or a bad day which ends up with me crying at the drop of a hat or wanting to call out the flying monkeys. they said they are calling meds in for me( had to do a little research) but they have to be careful what they give me because I have a seizure disorder and they don't want to mess up my dilantin count. can any of you girls share your experiences and what helped you the most get through this moody part.I don't know what they are giving me until monday because that is when the medicine will be in. Hubby talked with the doctor's office this morning and that is why I know it will be in monday but not what it is( hope it won't make me gain weight I'm trying to shed some pounds) I had to laugh the nurse chewed his butt out and told him he needed to be more understanding and patient when he complained that I was hard to live with.

    While menopause is a natural and expected process for every woman, the associated symptoms can be difficult and trying on both physical and emotional levels.

    My actual alterations are specifically via starting to be previous customarily and my metabolism stopped working, in part via hypothyroid which runs in the kinfolk (youthful sister isn't in perimenopause yet yet has hypothyroid, as do all my aunts and my mom and my grandma). and thank you to the shown fact that i'm working 12 hours an afternoon and don't have adequate time to bypass strolling like I used to. Joints in specific circumstances get achy yet that's age, no longer menopause. I do get the occasional thick hair popping out of my chin and now that they are white, makes 'em no longer trouble-free to confirm yet i will get them by ability of touch--no enormous deal because of the fact that i've got been plucking my eyebrows continually and a couple of hairs (and that's barely a pair of hairs each and every 2-3 months) on my chin are not adequate to signify something. intercourse is super; lots extra exciting for me because of the fact that i've got become different orgasmic and that they final see you later (yet perhaps that's a extra ideal high quality of guy too). in my view, i like being menopausal (different than for the better risk of each and every style of issues because of the fact the ol' hormones at the instant are not conserving me risk-free to any extent further). I virtually threw a occasion whilst i could long previous a 12 months without era--burn those previous "specific" panties, supply the extra youthful nieces all my leftover aspects. surprising there became all this further area in my suitcase, my undies drawer, my bathing room cupboard. not extra "oops, would desire to bypass replace some thing" or waking up with a stained mattress or traumatic each and each month if it didnt' come on time. not extra happening trip and having to pull all the paraphenalia alongside "only in case" because of the fact it continually appeared to come back even whilst it wasn't meant to in user-friendly terms because of the fact i became making plans on being in the water lots, or being limited on an prolonged airplane or vehicle trip, and so on. Yeh, had some minor temper swings yet tweren't no longer something whilst in comparison with PMS. nevertheless have the occasional means surge yet I placed on layers and can take off the outer layers whilst needed and, luckily, an excellent style of my coworkers and friends are getting into the time of an identical ingredient so we only turn on the aircon at artwork (and those young ones can only placed on sweaters in the event that they get too chilly). No HRT for me the two.
