lexa heres another thought to check out. women go through various age related problems. one of them is peri -menopause, menopause and post menopause.

peri meaning the 5 or so years before a womans body enters menopause the body goes through a mess of hormonal\chemical changes in preparing for the onset of menopause. sometimes this stage can happen as young as the early 20's (hence the term early onset added to it that some treatment providers use)

menopause is when a womans body finally does reach the point where reproduction is no longer possible due to lack of a period, lack of ovulation, decreased hormones.

post menopause is all the years after menopause, in other words the rest of the womans life.

all of these normal phases of life for a woman come with various levels of rapidly changing moods, crying one second happy the next, for some people it literally feels like they are changing into another person or other people (hence the backwoods name for it ...the change.) for some people it feels like they have totally gone insane because of the rapid cycling of moods, hormones,...

there is a blood test that can tell you whether you are having menopausal (or any phase of menopausal ) related problems. there is also medications for stabilizing this kind of thing...most popular ...the pill, yes the same one women use as a contraceptive can also be used to stabilize all that is part of these phases of life. then theres also various types of herbals that have shown to help. your treatment providers will be able to advice you on which ones will work for you.

anyway something to check out...
