bitchy mood, hot flashes

I'm sorry. I haven't been able to keep up with email.

It's just as well, considering the bitchy mood I've been in.

About four days ago, I started getting really hot and breaking out in sweats.

This even happens in air conditioned rooms. It makes no difference what I'm

wearing.

Today this has gone on almost non-stop. I feel awful. Not sick, just really

crappy.

My mood is horrible, horrible horrible.

I am too young (42) to be going through menopause I think. I don't even LOOK 42.

But it does seem that that's what's happening.

I can't take this much longer. Does anybody have a clue how long it lasts? I am

going to die if this doesn't stop soon.

Everybody is telling me I need hormones. Crap.

I'm afraid my doctor is going to tell me I'm nuts and then I'll get pissed off

and cuss him out. It's REALLY that bad. I'm not kidding.

I DON'T WANT TO BE OLD, DAMMIT!!!

sadly, you are not too young. even sadder, it can last up to 10 years or so. the

good news is, there are plenty of products out there now that can help you

through the symptoms you're having. it's ok sissi, we're all getting old with

you :)

I don't like this one damned bit.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Sissi, I was almost exactly the same age as you when the hot flashes

started. It is awful and scary. I thought it was a heart attack or

something. You are likely in perimenopause. Do check with your dr.

He can help. I threatened mine with bodily harm if he didn't give me

hormones! I told him I couldn't live with my dh or son if he didn't

do SOMETHING! I have been on premphase since then and only in the

past 6 mos. have my periods stopped. Sorry to say, you probably have

several years ahead before it all stops. In the meantime, the pills

help a LOT! I tried natural aides and they just didn't cut it. The

hormones relieve most of the symptoms and you do feel better. I have

several friends who took hormones and anti-depressants at the same

time. Your doctor won't think you are nuts and if he does, get a new

doctor. Leggs

Sissi,

I hate to say this, but you're probably experiencing perimenopause, which is

the onset prior to menopause and it can be ten years before the real thing

is done! The peri symptoms can come and go or just go away for years. My

physicians assistant recommended a hormone patch. It's supposed to be very

low dose and safe for a couple years use. You'll have to do lot's of

research to see what you feel comfortable with.

I've had night sweats for over a year now, memory problems, weight gain and

the start of acne...it sucks! is having problems with it too.

There is a poll at the site on how many feel they are experiencing it and

what age it started.

Hang in there and we'll hope this is just temporary!

I think you can buy green tea at any grocery store. I know I got mine

from the local CVS, which is a drugstore, but it's Lipton brand,

so...green tea is a bit more bitter than regular tea, but I like it.

The alternative is being young. (I don't want to hear the " D " word).

So did I.

I called today at 4. They made an appointment for me on June 11, so I called

back and said I need help now. The nurse called me back an 4:15. I had

stepped out of my office for minute and didn't hear my cell ringing. I

called back at 4:17 and the answering service picked up. Isn't that a weird

time to close a doctor's office???

Maybe tomorrow.

Now I know WHY older women get their hair cut short and hate to cook in warm

weather.

I plan on living in the shower until this stops.
