When I get to the end of the menopause, do things get better

Absolutely. You enter a period of freedom, and a new phase of ytour life as a 'mature' lady. You are comfortable in your own skin, you don't have to worry about mood-swings, period pains, contraception, or any of that nonsense. The way ahead is clear and full of fun.

Fill your boots!

andy you seem to have coped with the menopause well, ....did you take Evening Primrose? ;-)

[LoftyLottie]

And your bits and pieces fall south and you lose some height and you get more wrinkles and grow whiskers. Grey hairs increase on a daily basis and you get aches and pains in places you didn't know existed. Apart from that, it's just as Andy has described!!

[smudge]

Am I missing out on something Lottie - I don't have any whiskers yet! lol

[craft1948]

and your feet and earlobes get bigger.....

[smudge]

I'll have to inspect my husband a bit more then craft! lol

[LoftyLottie]

Your husband Smudge? Has he been through the menopause? ;o)

Well I now have a full beard Smudge!!! It looks really good.

[craft1948]

I mean your earlobes ffs.......what is going on.......if I wear drop earrings they are now brushing my (surprisingly pert) nipples!!

[snags]

[smudge]

You can spend half an hour trying to find your glasses, then realise you've actually got them on!

You can never remember what you went upstairs for, then finally realise it was only for a wee!

[craft1948]

I have bad moments going upstairs too........I live in a bungalow...

[LoftyLottie]

I have lost about two inches in height!! It was 1" until I fractured a vertebra and now it is 2". I liked being 5'10" and am miffed. The joys of being post menopausal!!

[LoftyLottie]

Oh yes, Smudge, the memory problems - I had forgotten those!!!

[smudge]

He, he! What aftershave d'ya use Lottie? lol

I only wear studs craft, so my ear lobes haven't grown or dropped - yet! lol

[LoftyLottie]

Don't need aftershave with a beard Smudge 'cos I don't shave it!! (nor do I shave my moustache!) I like the natural look.

[smudge]

I'd still get confused if I lived in a bungalow craft! ;o}

[smudge]

I even had to put cable tv on this morning to see what day it is! I guess it's still Tuesday?

[albaqwerty]

it was Tuesday the last time I looked. Am peri-menopausal and am soooo looiking forward to being forgetful, obnoxious, weird, lost sense of humour....oooh already there lol

[smudge]

I bet they keep you warm in winter lottie! The beard & moustache I mean! ;o}

[smudge]

Thanks alba - glad I haven't missed a day! ;o}
