This menopause thing has to come with a disclaimer.

So, we've gotten rid of PMS or as my husband calls it, Mad Cow Disease. The men can't blame anything on PMS anymore so they switch it to Menopause (men pause and say, oh) so they have yet another reason to not do what you want them to do or give you that "look" that blames any mood on this change.

My husband blamed my grouchiness on it...not what he did or didn't do that just irritated my skin off! We just can't win.

All women are different. Some go through the change longer than others. I still have the occassional hot flash or else, it's the niacin I'm taking. Haven't decided yet.

Change is good. Menopause comes with some really good changes like...you don't give a rip what others think anymore. Could be age too!
