Thank you. I feel for you while you’re going through Menopause. At age 31 I had a total hysterectomy. I was totally unprepared for being thrown immediately into Menopause. Even now 23 years later I will get a hot flash ever so often. Are you taking hormones? Life sure gets tough at times doesn’t it? I’m very thankful for this outlet.

Bioidentical hormones lifted the veil of depression for me with menopause. I can’t recommend them highly enough if you are a candidate. Within hours of applying the patch (when I was 50) I stopped crying. It was incredible. However, here’s the sad part for me - I became sensitive to the hormones and had too many side effects and had to stop after about 5 years. I’m 64 now and look back on my estogen replacement years as a gift really - mood was good, sexual desire was back, positive energy about life.... Now I’m taking supplements and anti-depressant (I have GAD and a bit of ADD) and doing fine. But boy, those hormones were amazing.
