My Wife Of 20 years has started hardcore menopause.

Good info. here. My mom told me about her menopause, it sounded horrible and I felt bad for her. Yes, keep her cool at night. My mom is normally cold all of the time but when she menopause she had to have it cold in the house, even the bedroom window open at night in the winter time. I don't look forward to going through it myself. Best wishes:)

Yep, I don't understand. I'm 10 years younger than she is.

Been there, done that, no problema whatsoever.
Didn't even notice it much - except not having the monthly was sooooooooo nice!

You said "best wishes". Thanks, I need it no doubt.

No, it's not funny at all. The girl you once knew does not exist anymore. Now I have to change.

Gross!

You are a loser.

Just don't touch her at night!!!!

LOL seriously, I found that sage tea has helped me a lot, even thought I still get hot sometimes during the night, but the relief is amazing.

Try it.

My wife just walked out the door, because I asked whats wrong, her reply...there is nothing wrong with me, my reply,...it is written all over you, I see it.


Good luck people with a menopause women...

keep your thoughts to your self!

It's a losing suituation!!!!!

Because you fed the dog at the wrong time or not enough or too much food.

Poor lady, I feel for her.
Many of my friends have gone through tough menopause, they all have had kids.
My Doctor says menopause is much worse for women that have birthed kids.

I am 54 now, never had any kids.
I have been post-menopausal for over 2 years now, in my misery I only had a dozen or so very fast hot flashes and really didn't get much bitchier than a normal period grouch.
Certainly never went insane/mad like my other female friends.

I have one friend that had 2 sons and she is stuck in permanent menopause. Her poor husband is always bruised from her pinching and hitting his arm.

that is total BS

take her for a drive in the country and drop her off somewhere

I am going to try to get to the doc some time this month for hormone pills. I can not take it anymore. Hair falling out from where it should be and growing where it should not be. Rapid sudden weight gain on my tummy, sudden dry skin, loss of sex drive, do not want to see or talk to anyone, loosing eye sight, memory and hearing. This memopause it not nice..

Big hug to the others going through it.

I had no symptoms at all , I just had intermittent periods until there were none. But I did gain weight

I want to get on the bio identical ones also, they are synthetic, the bad ones are the natural ones made from horse piss. I just watched doctors show on PBS about it.

What about fish?

I suffered for 9 years with this and on no meds to help. I tried everything under the sun.
I couldn’t stand it anymore so I went to a compounding pharmacy that make meds that are matched exactly to your needs and I have never felt better.
None of it is covered by insurance, of course, so it is pricey but what price can you put on a better quality of life?!?
My loved ones thanked me for doing this as well.

I actually lost weight on menopause, but I seem to be the exception to the rule.
It’s a terrible thing to go through. I know
I hope she finds the relief she needs. Everyone is different so if one thing works for another, doesn’t work for everyone
So have her start trying the black cohosh, etc that’s out there and if she doesn’t get the relief she needs, go to a compounding pharmacy. I did and got all the relief I needed

Those herbal cool packs you can put in the freezer are good to sleep with for night time heat. Soothing. Helps to fall asleep. God be with you both. Stay away from prescribed meds if she is able.

Do you mean progesterone? The cream?

Same with my 45 yo wife, except she has the symptoms. Good lord, this has to be the answer to all her madness lately. And I mean MADNESS. It’s like an entity has ransacked her soul. No joke help.

All you have to do is kill her over and over many times a day...in you head. Only way to cope.

did the wife take birth control so you wouldn't impregnate her?

Go on Amazon.com and look for something called Menocalm. My sister had to take it. She swears it saved her life! I'm dreading my turn.

Look at the bright side, slugger.

It usually only last about 10 years.

She needs to go to the doc! Get hormones asap

Whoa, harsh!

Is it like robin wright penn in house of cards or is it like queen jekyll and mrs hyde?

I’ve been going through menopause for 1 1/2 years and its no picnic in the park. I have menopausal brain which is way worse than pregnancy brain, mood swings, wicked hot flashes and my anxiety went through the roof. I tried everything with no relief and I finally broke down and had the doctor put me on Zoloft. My anxiety and mood swings are not as severe.

Don’t be surprised if you find her one day with her head in the freezer and she starts sleeping in the coolest part of the house to help with the hot flashes.
