OMG I FEEL YOUR PAIN!! I'm three-plus years in. Three years ago, I thought I was dying, but no. It was only menopause. I've subsequently lost and gained my mind; learned breathing exercises to control hormonally-induced panic attacks; become morbidly aware of my own mortality and unable to tolerate bullshit.
I actually frightened my doctor before I went on HRT. Imagine. A 33-year-old male twerp telling me that he knows exactly how I feel.
I'm better now, and I offer you my unconditional support and sympathy.
I know -- I've been following your saga for a while! I'm so glad you're feeling better now. Some of the things I've read have scared the hell out of me. I mean, when you already have Bob to deal with, having your body plunged into a very sudden hormonal maelstrom... well, it sure dudn help nuttin.
...and unable to tolerate bullshit.
Now that part I like very much. ;) Wish I could say the same. I think tolerating bullshit is a part of my job description. :p

Um, there would probably have been blood.

Sorry to hear about the surgically induced menopause. You would think that after all these millenia the body would have evolved better, of course, it was only in the last couple centuries that humans actually started living long enough to go through menopause.
I have no advice to offer on that front, only hugs and just keep thinking about not needing feminine hygiene products anymore.
That whole nightmare thing - WOW!! I never knew that even though I have known folks having the whole hot flashes thing.

::hugs:: Thanks. What will be, will be, I suppose. :P

Believe me, that helps a whole lot. Comparing the way I was living six months ago to how it is now... much happier.

I never knew that either. I thought at first it was just me having a psychological reaction to all the stress of surgery, until I got online and heard all these other women talk about the same thing. Then I found doctors referencing it as a problem for some women in "traditional" menopause, too. Strange and unusual... but then again, I am strange and unusual... LOL!
