I live in England so have no clue why you are locked in a hotel room (not sure I really want to know)! I am waiting for menopause to make an appearance and am trying to reassure myself that it will be 'nice' to feel hot for a change...D.J.

They're less of a warming factor and more of thinking that someone threw your innards into a nuclear reactor. Oh, and I'm only 40.

The worst part was a Nurse Ratched in the ER. As I lie in a fetal position, writhing in pain, she refused to give me anything. I'd already been tested & just had ultrasound- but she told me to *shut up* & if I made any noise, she would take my family members out of the ER exam room. Wow! I honestly considered calling 9-1-1 for an ambulance to come help me while in the ER! I had already told my Doc I wanted a complete hysterectomy (this was the 2nd rupture & removal)-- AND I wanted my appendix out too!<br />So I had surgical menopause.... all at once & like a freight train. <br />I think there were many times the family just backed away slowly..... glad to get out of the house alive. <br />I did not have hot flashes.... I would describe them more like tsunamis. Talk about a hormonal whammy!<br />After the emergency surgery & during my 5 day stay in the hospital, I had a chat with the Director of Nursing about "Nurse Ann". Now I know any time any medico pulls something like that, you ask for a Charge Nurse. I think I got 6 call backs & a few apology letters from the hospital. <br />Rest assured Nurse Ann now knows for sure,(if there was any doubt in her mind) that was not OK.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-19420831536265745252012-05-19T19:25:36.005-04:002012-05-19T19:25:36.005-04:00I am so thankful that I am finally officially anci...I am so thankful that I am finally officially ancient as I am at the tail end of hot flashes. I went into peri-menopause at the ripe old age of 47 and now at 54, I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. This means that I no longer go outside when it is blizzarding at midnight wearing only my white Hanes for Her because I woke up to sweat drenched sheets and that I no longer stick my head in the freezer four times a day. My partner used to think I was exaggerating until she began to have hot flashes every day or so. She went to her doctor and now takes pills to stop it, so I have to constantly remind her that I went through it without drugs. Which is funny, because I pretty much prefer to be chemically altered every chance I get...Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-7290123113837243812012-05-19T00:02:23.895-04:002012-05-19T00:02:23.895-04:00Still haven't had hot flashes--my mother didn&...Still haven't had hot flashes--my mother didn't finally go through and wrap up menopause until she was 57...disgraceful, no?

Glad I read this article. I totally forgot about mother wanting a paper shredder. I am going to really send the ol' woman over the edge and get her the damned paper shredder for her, uh "our" birthday. You can send her a ream of paper to destroy while she figures out how to work the damn thing. I am kind of scared, though, to get her something that resembles an electronic office device. You know how she was with the computer - very pitiful as a computer user.<br /><br />Just to let you know, she had almost word-for-word conversation with me when I called her. I will admit guilt, however. I failed to get her a mother's day card (as I forgot to get my daughters-in-law cards). I'll make up for it. I will send the mother a card for Memorial Day, Flag Day, Father's Day, 4th of July, and her birthday. Hopefully, that will make up for missing one frickin' Mother's Day.Darling Sis Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600938921688663274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-47804567888133622232012-05-16T15:35:29.221-04:002012-05-16T15:35:29.221-04:00YO, the Goldens!
