Toffeapple: Thanks Merri - I don't think it is brave really, I other ladies I know who nearly expire from the hot flushes!

Everyone is different, but HRT is my magic pill right now and I am happy to be on it to be sane....for now!
So the body has a big effect on the mind? Think I understand now.

Tony, Lookin and Daggy - Faithe's description is correct - women's bodies don't need the same hormones any more as they get to be around 50 (on average) as they are beyond the baby making stage, so the body starts slowing down their production, but in the process, we suffer lots of symptoms - hot flushes, dryness (no, don't ask), depression, mood swings, eg go crazy - sometimes. mumbling grin

The impact is wide and varied, but yes, it can mean we go a little crazy and cranky and mad and some suffer depression - but it is the hormones causing itand once over it, most go back to being their lovely normal self....uh oh Can take a couple of years, or 10 or more to deal with it.

It sucks for those who suffer the symptoms, like me. very mad thumbs down

Toffeapple: So how did you managed the symptoms - or were yours bearable - hot flushes galore, crankiness and insomnia were just too much for met to bear....


I really don't know how I went through those years but I did and I suffered a lot of head aches as well with flushes & cranky god I hated me then. Today it's rare I get a headache I feel great now and I recommend woman to get help to relieve those symptoms why suffer if there is help.

I think I might be in a strait jacket now if I wasn't on the HRT~ laugh head banger

Sometimes I wish some of these symptoms and period pain on men, just for a few days to show how horrible it is....
