First..thanks for the laugh, Jawjaw..Still trying how to quote a message.

I guess I was kind of busy when I stopped as I didn't even think about it until the doctor asked when was my last period. No Clue!! One less problem I had to deal with :-) I was 35..37 maybe..no hot flashes (cold chills), didnt think I had the mood swings until my son happened to walk in while I was talking to a friend..his comment.."Yeah, easy for her..'ell on us!"

I love that! And you are sooo right on the mark there too. Just because it says "all natural" doesn't mean it is! It also doesn't mean it's good for you.

I don't know what to do about this hormone therapy...I'm still not convinced I even need further therapy...I seem to be doing okay (by my standards) and I don't seem to feel bad...I'm still cute...so what's the rush for more horomes? The only difference I've noticed is that every once in a while, my eyes feel like they are crossing...no joke. I'm not being funny here...I'll get this sensation in the brain (best way I know how to describe it) and then my eyes feel like they are resetting themselves, with some kind of movement, then it's over...Strange, eh? Anybody else experience this?

JJ, The eye rolling thing is a well known medical condition. It is known as hypercasinoptia.
It occurs when the patient stands for long periods with one arm up in air. When someone comes along and pulls the arm down, the patient's eyes roll around in her head and coins spill out of her mouth.
Yep, Hypercasionptia.

Smile, you hadme going there. I was already to ask Ross about it.

jawjaw, Ross is off today and I told him about your eyes. His guess is that it isn't hormone related. When was your last eye appt.? And, if it continues to happen you should be seen by your eye doctor. I wish you lived here. He'd be happy to see all you boomer women. He's already putting all our friends in reading glases, bifocals, and progressive lenses. Isn't aging fun?

Smiles, you stinker! you had me going too! I had to read it twice. Once for the blonde in me, and once to enjoy it all over again! ha!

Dots...probably IS time for a checkup and why not? I mean if Mr. R doesn't think this is normal, then I'm all for finding out the cause.
Think I'll give them a call...Thanks Mr. R!

Course then again, he COULD fly me up there, you all could wine and dine me, he could check my eyes, write whatever prescription I needed then send me home. What? There's a flaw here? what?

OR if you really want to cure the problem, just don't let anyone pull your arm--or your leg either.

Smile what a brilliant and funny answer. You had me going to, me the big casino Queen, LOL

Yep, get those eyes checked and stay the heck away from Estrogen or whatever these mumbo,
jumbo male doctors try to get us to take for a completely natural, normal occurance in our lives....Embrace Menopause and it will not hurt you, it will empower you as a woman. I sailed through it glad for the changes and never suffered at all. Most vitamins won't hurt your liver either NOT like drugs do, and they prescribe these drugs like candy....
