This is another subject I can relate to and it is an interesting and controversial one.

When menopause began for me, I knew soon that that's what was going on. For awhile, 1-2 years the night sweats, the nervousness and such really disrupted my life and my husband's.

Later, when I started taking HRT, my life totally changed. I felt better, wanted to do more and as you mentioned my attitde got much more positive.

I am so glad that you brought this subject up. In most cases, unless there is a heredity factor or a serious health concern, women can choose to do just about anything they want to. It's a wonderful feeling to know that the 'doors' of life have not been closed; so much of life is waiting just for you!
