If I croak before my time, so be it, I'd rather die semi-young being myself rather than live a long life being someone I don't know. Daisygirl I'm with you Daisygirl. Maybe when I have the chance I'll try the bioidenticals. I know going cold turkey into menopause is the journey into hell. Not for me, oh no. Right now I'm on BCP, DHEA, and a new treatment called Livial. It all seems to be working reasonably well although it never feels as good as when my own cycle was running the show. You all keep your eyes open in the next couple of years for the menopause treatment, Livial. It's sold and used in [b]85 countries [/b none of which unfortunately, are in North America. But it is being tested there and I'm guessing it will be available in the next couple of years.It's very successful in Europe. Along with it's menopause therapy benefits, Livial has been proven to be successful in arresting bone loss and preventing oseoparosis. I've been taking it for about a year and a half. But to stop the misery of menopause, I'd be willing to try anything, oh yeah. Don't you just feel so frustrated and angry when you see all that stuff about how menopause doesn't need to be treated because it's 'natural' and not a disease?? Natural smatchural, that doesn't make it good. If MEN went through the kind of crash-and-burn menopuse we do, science and medicine would be scrambling for a cure. They wouldn't be pussyfooting around with this "it's a natural process" crap. They'd be finding a fix pronto. [ September 30, 2005, 07:23 AM: Message edited by: mrs_madness ]

I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here, but I'm saying this as a matter of fact, not as a judgment. When we use artificial means to block conception, when we end a pregnancy unnaturally, when we have babies and then don't breastfeed them...As I said, I am not judging, because I have had an abortion(I was 19), I have had a baby and then not breastfed (he was child # 5, born with a heart defect and flown to a hospital for surgery 1 hour away) and I have used contraceptives. But since then I've learned that if we use our bodies as God designed them, I think we'd all be healthier and menopause may be less traumatic.
