Mood Swings & Menopause

After reading many blogs on this subject, I have decided not to go through menopause!!! I have devised a diabolical plan, I will visit three different doctors. get each to give a bio-hormone replacement prescription and triple dose myself. ok ok bad plan....but this is how desperate I feel. I have put up with heavy bleeding and night sweats for six f**king years and the newest, painful sex and mood swings. I am so emotional I can cry just from hearing an old song, it's ridiculous. The depression though is scary. it can;t last forever, hang in there jules

Oh my Gosh!  I can hardly stand myself lately, And my husband is getting on my nerves more than ever! Poor guy, it's not his fault. He's a man and has no clue on what to say or do. My anxiety is so high that I actually asked for temp. relief on an as needed basis. I have insomnia! My periods are no longer my monthly visiting friend, Now she's a Bitch from hell! "Cramps" and Irregular. I have absolutely NO desire whatsoever for SEX! What gives.....   went for my yearly exam today and asked for blood work to be done to check my hormones, blood sugar level, cholestorol,iron,.......I tried HRT once before....I felt TERRIFIC!!!!!.....however breast cancer runs in my family so HRT is a concern for me.  My Dr. gave me hope today as for tomorrow they will draw the blood needed for the tests. I also decided to see a therapist It can't make anything worse than it already is.  Wow. That felt good to write out.  Thanks, and please do share. We're not alone.  Deb.
