Menopause?

[Joo]

Continuing on the subject of HRT on Wendy's thread, I've started this because I guess the menopause is a huge subject and we could pass on tips and info for each others perusal?

I for one would appreciate it!!

hello everyone
when i started the menopause years ago well at 45 i am now 54 so i should be finished with that soon.my biggest problem was panic attacks could not get through the door for them.but for the last few months i have been listening to a paul mckenna cd relaxation.fantastic i have it on my mp3 player and every night i go to sleep listening to it cant live with out it now like a little security blanket.it really works for me.i dont know if anyone else has noticed but i had to stop eating the love of my life CHOCOLATE for a diferent reason the irritable bowel and after a while i noticed the hot sweats stopped so that could be a little tip.
i dont take the hrt they say you have to start in the first 5 years or it does not really help.
hope everyone has a good weekend
