Well, I'll always have to wear some sort of female protection because of my urinary stress incontenance, so aunt Flo showing up unexpectantly won't be too big of a problem. It's the hot flashes that mostly concern me.

Hot flashes are bad enough.. the night sweats kill me.. I mean when you wake up 4 times in middle of the night, and you KNOW you didnt pee the bed, but there is a river of sweat in your sheets.. that sh** is for the birds. The insomnia sucks too. Cant sleep or stay asleep, and my memory.. omg.. what memory anymore. Its so bad that I tell my kids they can go somewhere and what time to be back.. and a hour later I forgot where I told them they can go and what time to be back. It sucks. I had a hysterectomy at 30, and I am almost 36 now, and no.. it hasnt gotten easier. I dont have the hot flashes as often, but the night sweats, memory loss, severe screaming cussing hollering losing it all mood swings and insomnia have become like family to me

I just hope I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't go through those hot flashes. I'd hate to have to move into the frozen food section of my grocery store.

That's me alright! LMFBO!! But hey! We all just thought maybe misery loves company so we would just share how miserable we are so you wouldn't feel lonely and left out.

I went for 4 months last year without having a period, went to my Dr. and He said could you be preggers, mouth was on the floor, never entered my mind, I said NO way, I am about to become a GrandMa, I can not be having a Baby, thought he would die laughing at me, but I didn't think it was funny, I stood and watched them do the test. The HOT flashes are so bad, memory loos, mood swings, gee gettting older is for the birds, and to have to lift up my butt to dry under it and my boobs also is no laughing matter either. After I turned 40 eveything went down hill, and I am still going down hill
