If you are experiencing pre menopause symptoms you may be hard pressed to find the good in it. Dealing with hot flashes that make you want to strip naked in public; night sweats that keep you up all night; mood swings that turn you into a crazy woman and headaches that don't end is not much fun. Add to that a decreased libido and vaginal dryness and it just doesn't seem that life is much fun anymore.
Things that used to be perky are now sagging and bagging and shifting. Curves that used to be up top are now settling on your bottom. You are cranky and emotional and so darned tired you fall asleep sitting in your chair.
Your skin is so dry it feels like leather and your hair has started to feel like straw. There just doesn't seem to be enough "age defying" in your night cream. You can't read because your arm is not long enough to hold the book far enough away. Your eyes are shot.
Your medicine cabinet is beginning to look like your Grandmother's used to. Metamucil gets you through the day. Your vitamins now say "silver" instead of femme. Your joints creak and you pass wind like a machine gun. Life just can't get any freakin' better, can it?
Oh yeah, the mammogram. Enough said about that.
The only good thing about pre menopause symptoms is what comes at the end. Blessed relief. No more monthly cycle. Well I guess there really is some good to be found in menopause.
