Menopause Effects In My Life

I feel like I have been going through menopause forever. I have been told that from pre menopausal till you are actually finished can be as long as 15 years. Well my body started changing and acting weird when I was 39. I figure that is 14 years so maybe it will soon be over.

I guess I have been lucky considering some of the horror stories I have been told. I have not taken any hormone therapy and my mood swings haven’t been so terrible. I was taking Neurontin for a period of time for my depression so maybe that helped with some of the negative effects.

I have had a few night sweats, but then again nothing drastic. I have noticed that this change has made me think alot about dying again which I do not want to do for a long time now that Bill is in my life. It took 49 years of my life to finally find the perfect man for me. Not saying he is perfect, just that he is perfect for me and my personality and he is very understanding about women problems.
