chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Well I must confess to still having the mood swings. I breezed through menopause, not so much as a flash, hot or otherwise, but oh those mood swings. My son had the answer, when he heard my DIL and me talking about them, he said, "nothing new here, you've alway been a b-witch." He laughed and ran into the back yard knowing I could never catch him. But seriously I still get all moppy and edgy, especially around the time I use to get my period and menopause for me is only a memory _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Vicki, do you ever do the salt/chocolate dance? Eat a pretzel and then a Hershey Kiss. Hmmm, I want to end with a salt taste. Eat another pretzel, then want to end with the chocolate taste. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this. That's why I like chocolate covered pretzels so much! I make them around the holidays. They are always a hit. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Dianne, I've been through menopause, haven't had a period for almost 10 years and I'm still having hot flashes...when do they stop? Does this mean my memory and brain have more frying to do? _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth?

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	I've never really differentiated between my PMS mood swings and Bipolar. But, taking all these meds, my mood is pretty much stabilized. Now, if only they could make a pill to conquer the chocolate and salt craving. Yes, Dotsie. I'll eat my salt, then I'll want some chocolate. Then I gotta have salt again. The cycle is never ending. Well, it is sorta. Then it starts up again the next month. Chocolate covered pretzels, huh? I never really thought about combining the two. My salt craving usually ran to the chips side. You know. Potato chips. Tortilla chips. Don't know how good they'd taste if I dipped them in chocolate. _________________________ Vicki "What you believe yourself to be, you are." Claude M. Bristol Your Writing Coach Writing Coach Blog

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	My cycle is just continuous for CHOCOLATE. Salt, I could take it or leave it, and don't enjoy chocolate pretzels at all. Now my best friend is another matter - she salts her chips, she salts her soup, she salts everything. And her doctor tells her to eat more salt because her blood pressure is so low!
