Menopause was a breeze for me too. I was doing dance classes 4-5 nights a week plus I drink/ eat a lot of soya which is supposed to help hormonally. I didn't get any sweats. Only nuisance that I find as I become older is that my body takes longer to recover from strenuous physical activity. Young person rests one hour, I need to rest for 3 or 4!

When I was young I had one friend who performed acrobatics all the way through her pregnancy - without disclosing to her doctors. She said her body was accustomed to acrobatics just as much as most women are accustomed to walking. So I figure... my body keeps doing what it has always done, but more slowly.
