LOL......actually menopause for me wasn't bad at all......a couple of years of hot flashes.....waking up at night completely drenched in the middle of freezing cold winter when I couldn't afford to heat my house, it was kind of obvious that it was a hot flash.

I was dealing with anorexia a couple of years before the hot flashes started to hit. It was at that time my period quit, so thought it was that & not manopause. After I was able to start eating a bit better & had left my husband after 33 years (ah, what a wonderful relief that was also), I had a couple of periods that hit when I wasn't expecting, but mostly just quit.

After the hot flashes quit which lasted a couple of years......ah, life is GOOOOOOOOD.
