I am many, many years post-menopause. Of course then I was precocious about it and entered menopause at 38. By 42 I was done with it. I went on HRT for about a year. I tried herbal estrogen replacement, but it did not help with the symptoms I was having. And I was having every last one of the stinkin' symptoms! Thickntied, you mentioned you thought it was mental illness at first. I was one raging, screaming queen B before I went on HRT. I took the HRT to get me through the worst of the symptoms. I was okay when I stopped HRT. A few years ago I had a bone density test done that showed I have ostepenia (sp?), the precursor to osteoporisis (sp?). I upped my calcium intak via diet. I'm out in the Florida sunshine a lot so I don't worry about Vit D.
