I’ve lived it, it is hell in a whole different way. Oh, and the estrogen progesterone treatments just delay those hot flashes.

Ask me how I know. I went down at 40ish and was on hormones for 25 years. Doctor demanded I stop. Since I am off, they come back in full force in my late 60s.

Just take it when it comes and be done with it.

Yeah, I went through it with no help. I knew there were supplements I could take, but I just couldn't afford them.

Lol, I would stand over the AC vent on the floor with only a dress on, just to get the cooling down going. Heh, I loved that vent.

The thing is, the grief with it doesn't just stop once the kwappy symptoms go away. After awhile the vagina starts to dry and atrophy.

I had sex for the first time in eight years last year, and it tore me to bleeding. I went to my GYN to see what could be done about it after reading about estrogen cream applied in the vagina....heh, my partner suggested I get a vibrator to "work it out." I wasn't believing him.

The GYN gave me a 'script for the estrogen cream...and once I got over the embarrassment of the question, I asked him about using a vibrator as an aide to "liven" the vagina. He wholeheartedly agreed with my partner.

So....yeah. Menopause, the lack of estrogen, keeps serving it's degradation, but at least it's only one thing, and not EVERYTHING.

I haven't really started using the cream....because cancer concerns, and my partner doesn't yet live by me. My grandmother died of ovarian cancer, so I'm a little squeamish about it.

But I would like to have a satisfying sex life. I want to make love with my partner...it's just hard not worry a bit, ya know?

sigh....these bodies we have as human beings are just not really all that, I protest

Ob put me on birth control pills, they messed me up. She tried a different kind, same result. Gave up after 4 months, figure I'm just going to suck it up and let mother nature have her way with me.

The one and only thing I've tried that helps is this awesome lube called Passion. Water based, not sticky and works great!

I'm blessed to have a wonderful hubby who still loves me despite my body morphing into a potato shaped train wreck
