I have DECIDED, that it is about time for me to be finished with this meno stuff...I have had E N O U G H....I have made up my mind..... so that's that!

Hey Slowbear,

Let me know how you make out with this! I actually said that to myself in December when I was on the fence about taking AD's for the blues and pervasive ansiety and instead after a lot of research decided to try alternative methods to cope. I actually have days where my exercise, therapy, and ATTITUDE does work! On the days when the uglies creep their way back in, no m atter how much self talk I do, I now acknowledge that "it is a bad DAY, (NOT A BAD LIFE)and instead of freaking out (my past routine) I just try my best to ride it out. Sometimes that means just staying put in my house, and sometimes that means forcing myself out-- what ever I can manage.

This experience has been the wildest roller coaster ride of my life- compleTely unexpected- Brava lady! Keep fighting the fight! There are way too many women living good lives past meno to give up hope that we too cannot join their ranks!

Have a great weekend,
Jonesy

PS- of c ourse I am writing this email feeling fantastic after having a period for the first time in 9 months last week-- ESTROGEN is a MIRACLE hormone Who knows what I will feel like in 3 months when the symptoms rear their ugly heads....I will email you for inspiration!

Well said Slowbear and Jonesy, I am joining you.............if fact I have been so positive for a few weeks, I thought I was getting somewhere, of course the hot flushes are still in attendence and the moods have been up and down but I was still going onwards and upwards but
the migraine got me
but I will bounce back.....................BE GONE YOU MENO.....its spring and I want to feel like a spring chicken so there

Mind over Meno! love it! it should be our general motto always! i've always said i would not let meno symptoms rule my life...

I wish it had been so easy!

it's not always easy Floater.. please don't think that! i'm just determined to do this my way.

I will join this club...where do I sign up. Enough is Enough - my new motto!!

Peri/meno is no picnic, and for those of us that suffer with this change it is the pits- there is nothing easy about it.

For me, it is just this inward push that I am compelled to make right now...because I have been a mess for 9 months... and I have to go this way. Othewise, I may never come out of the hole.

Every day is challange- but I am fighting the fight. You may see me post next week full of symptoms that leave me full of anxiety...that is the hell of this time- the up and down of it all. And that is why I am so thankful to all you here on this site. You get it, and we have each other.

Coping is our only weapon, you know?
