Is the Menopause Leaving You Feeling Hot and Bothered? Are You Feeling the Heat of the Menopause?
The following article is an independant summary of one person's experience of the menopause. If you would like to have your own personal
experience with the menopause printed here contact us at: admin@beatbloating.com
Yes it's that dreaded time - menopause, change of life, call it what you will. All I know is that it's leaving me feeling extremely
hot and bothered. Whatever the weather, come rain, hail or snow, my face and neck are burning like sizzling coals on a
barbecue. It may be freezing cold outside, and everyone else is shivering but I'm turning on the air conditioning.
And whoever said that ladies don't sweat? Apparently only horses sweat while men perspire and ladies glow. Well I'm tired
of glowing. Morning, noon and especially night.
This menopause thing is exhausting. Bedtime antics used to have a different meaning in the early days. Tearing clothes off
has nothing to do with passion anymore. It's all a matter of trying to beat those dratted night sweats. On with the duvet, off
with the duvet. Up and down all night long, splashing cold water on clammy skin. When will it end?
And hot flushes are only part of it. Drying skin, thinning hair, thickening waist are to name but a few of the miserable
symptoms of this wretched time of life.
So what can we do? I know, we can take HRT. After all,it prevents osteoporosis, protects against heart disease and strokes
and generally keeps us young. But then again, it gives us an increased risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and quite
possibly premature death. Mmh! So how long will this menopause and these dreadful hot flushes continue? Maybe one
year, maybe ten. Soya might help but then again perhaps not.
Am I the only one who thinks that if men were to go through a menopause we would have a few more accurate answers by
now? Oh well, I guess that's just the cynic in me. So for now I'll just have to keep on wearing my lightest clothes and
carrying my portable fan.
Got to go now. Feel a hot flush coming on.
