MENOPAUSE

THIS ONE IS FOR US LADIES OF AGE. IT MAY WELL BE A GOOD READ FOR YOU YOUNGER GIRLS BECAUSE IT WILL REACH YOU ONE DAY.

MENAPAUSE

SOMETHING HAS ATTACKED MY BODY I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY I JUST WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND THEN STARTED TO CRY

I THOUGHT WHAT THE HECK WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO ME I HAD TO GOOGLE SYMPTOMS TO SEE WHAT IT COULD BE
I ENTERED ALL MY SYMPTOMS TO SEE WHAT COULD BE THE CAUSE AND THERE IN BLACK AND WHITE I WAS IN MY MENOPAUSE. 

I STARTED READING HARD TO SEE WHAT GOOGLE SAID THEN I HAD TO PUT MY HEAD DOWN AND GO INTO MY BED.

NEXT DAY I WENT TO DOCTOR AND TOLD HER ABOUT MY FIND SHE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY I WAS NOT LOOSING MY MIND.
SHE SAID TO ME DEAR PATIENT TELL ME WHATS BEEN GOING ON WHEN I STARTED TALKING IT SOUNDED LIKE A SONG.

SOMETIMES I FEEL DIZZY AND HAVE TO HOLD MY HEAD SOMETIMES I FEEL SO ANGRY AT THE HORRID THINGS I SAID
SOMETIMES I FEEL FAINT FOR NO RESON AT ALL SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE CURLING UP IN A LITTLE TINY BALL.

THE HEAT I FEEL IN MY BODY MAKES ME FEEL ON FIRE AND WHAN I SAY THIS TO SOME PEOPLE I THINK THEY THINK IM A LIAR.
THIS HEAT CRAWLS RIGHT UP MY BODY IT STARTS RIGHT FROM MY FEET I HAVE TO FAN MYSELF A LOT BECAUSE I FEEL SO WEAK.

TAKING ALL MY CLOTHES OFF AND PUT THEM ON AGAIN I DO THIS VERY OFTEN AS I NEVER FEEL THE SAME.
GOING TO THE SWIMMING POOL OR EVEN FOR A WALK CALL MY FRIENDS UP OFTEN TO HAVE THAT LITTLE TALK.

FEELING ANGRY AND FEELING SO AFRAID FEELING ANXIOUS FEELING NERVOUS HEART POUNDING TOUNGE SORE 
DR DO YOU WANT TO HEAR MORE `(she smiles} 

LOSS OF HAIR AND DRY SKIN WHAT A MESS IM FEELING
HEART BEATING TOO FAST FOR MY CRUSTY SKIN.

STRANGE STRANGE I FEEL SO STRANGE, I FEEL LIKE IM GOING TO HAVE A STROKE OR EVEN HEART ATTACK 
BUT OH' NO ITS BLOODY MENOPAUSE, YES OF COURSE ITS THAT.

MUSCLE CRAMPS, FEELING OF DESPARE , OFTEN FEELING THAT IM NOT HERE.
SNIFFING LAVENDER ALL DAY AND HOPE THE BAD FEELING WILL GO AWAY. 
TRIED THE PRIMROSE TRIED THE SAGE DOING NOTHING AT THIS STAGE.

NOW I TAKE THE LINSEED WHICH I THINK IS HELPING I AGREE HAVE TO WAIT A FEW MORE MONTHS AND SEE IF IT BALANCE ME.

DOCTOR DOCTOR HELP ME THIS MENOPAUSE IS SO BAD,I REALY FEEL UNHAPPY AND VERY VERY SAD.

MY DOCTOR CROSS HER LEG AND STARTS TAPING WITH HER PEN 
THEN SHE WRITE OUT A PRISCRPITION TO GIVE ME ONCE AGAIN.

THEN SHE SAID DEAR PATIENT JUST TRY THESE PILLS AND SEE AND WHEN I HAD A LOOK AT IT SHE GAVE ME HRT

I LEAVE THE DOCTORS THINKING MAYBE THIS WILL HELP HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THIS DEAL WOMEN HAVE BEEN DEALT.

I GO HOME AND WENT TO GOOGLE READ UP ALL ABOUT HRT AND READ UP ALL THE SIDE EFFECT AND THOUGHT THIS COULDNT BE 

I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION ITS THEM PILLS OR CRAZY ME, DO I TAKE THIS PILL AND SET MY BODY FREE

I DECIED TO GO THE HARD WAY AND NEVER TOOK THAT PILL, I STILL HAVE THE PRESCRIPTION RIGHT ON MY WINDOW SIL. 

IM STILL GOING THROUGH IT TAKE EACH DAY AS A NEW PAGE, AS I KNOW IM GOING THROUGH THE WOMENS RIGHTS OF PASSAGE.

EACH YEAR IT DOES GET BETTER EVEN AS I WRITE, THE SWEATS ARE GETTING BETTER ESPECAILY AT NIGHT .
