Hi Dotsie, I haven't had my Period in 3 years & I'm Still suffering w/occaisional Hot Flashes but I'm used to them now. I also have or should I say haven't any control over my Emotions, but I guess that's Normal for a girl, right ? LOL [Smile] Chocholate, umm I thought that was part of the Food Groups ? I know I have to eat it Every day. I thought once I had Men-oh-pause, I wouldn't get P.M.S anymore but I do, it's just not as bad as it once was. I only think about Killing someone once a month now. LOL [Smile] Last year I stubbed my pinky toe & it turned black 'n blue, when I mentioned it to my doctor she scheduled a Bone-Denceity Test for me & the outcome wasn't good. Now I have to take Caluicm Tablets, YUCK !!! As far as I know, things will only get worse, but than that's just me. Do any of you older ladies know what we can expect in the coming years ???
