Dancer darling..I want to give you this wise, old cronish kind of answer, at my venerable age of 60..but my head is all bunged up with this cold I have..and the space between my ears is more empty than usual

All I can tell you for certain is that we are alot of boomer women, your sisters, who are in the same rocky boat ..it´s all about being a woman, I guess. I have always had to contend with being temperamental and being surprised by some of my reactions to people and things happening. But now I also am "weepy" at the most unexpected times..and sometimes it is downright embarassing. So now I have to warn even my colleagues at work. "here come the waterworks, sorry" and at other times, I explode when I don´t really want to at all but it´s me..and I might as well get used to it. Makes me more human..humble..and understanding of others I guess a big dose of loving humor for yourself, may help?

You could also trying talking to your gynecologist and asking her/him for some advice? Whatever you decide..YOU ARE NOT ALONE..and it will pass (or you will pass JOKING). It´s all part of this wonderful thing we call life

Lots of cool hugs and love coming your way...
