| mathetes User ID: 514914 United States11/12/2008 04:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been so moody for the past 6 months or more. Quoting: awaking slowlyI suffer from headaches, fatigue,mood changes, and even nausea at times. I get really grouchy for no reason too and say things I don't mean. Could I be going through the change already? I thought my feelings were from a chemical plant leak. So could it be change of life? I even get hot all over at times. My wife thought she was at around that age, but 3 yrs later no change. She talked to alot of women where it did happen at that age. Maybe you have a ton of stress? For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |

Go see your gynecologist, but to make sure, though. And, yes, it can happen as young as 38. It all depends on how old you were when you got your first period and how many eggs you were born with. |
| BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 381742 United States11/12/2008 04:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Honey is that you? Seriously, have you seen a doctor? I'm sure there are tests for that,hormone levels and what have you. Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

You can go through the change alot younger but it's not normal. I would consult a doctor. “Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good.

Quoting: BRIEF AND TO THE POINTI've never been this way before. You may need to see a brain chemical doc. Cry it out, girl...and shake it off. Do the things you know are right: 1. Eat healthy foods, don't skip meals 2. Drink plenty of water 3. Take a good multivitamin 4. Exercise daily 5. Breathe 6. Pray/Meditate I think there IS such a thing as PRE-menopausal. I think I was about your age when it started for me. I have a pretty high-stress/high activity life. I'm 42 now, and not truly menopausal yet. Hang in there...settle in. I would avoid psych meds (brain chemical meds) and only get them as a last result. Take care of your physical and spiritual and your mental/emotional will get better. Peace. |

| Philly Girl User ID: 541429 United States11/12/2008 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Paramenapause can be long process lasting years before the cycle is completed and true Menapause is simply the end of that transformation. Yes it can start in your thirties, but you should be checked by a doctor because many other things carry the same symptoms and should be ruled, or treated. |

Quoting: Hillcrestthere has been so much written about soy being beneficial for women, but soy is known to impair thyroid function. google it, there's plenty written about it. overconsumption of soy is suspected to bring down thyroid function. just thought I'd throw that in. Soy is TERRIBLE for humans to consume. Anything that says it's good for you is either a lie promulgated by those who produce and sell it, or by "journalists" who are too lazy to do real research, and just re-write what they read in the main-stream media. Soy has only been eaten by humans for the last few hundred years, as Asians previously used it ONLY for crop rotations to "rest" their soil. Only after learning to ferment it was it used SPARINGLY in miso soup and soy sauce. It is a LIE that Asians eat a lot of soy, and it is so full of phytoestrogens, it is easy to see why it would play havoc with a woman's hormonal balance. Soy is garbage, and thank you, Hillcrest, for bringing that up! People need to really READ about it before they take it into their bodies!!! |
