Hi Blue Skies,
Menopause can be so very different for every woman who experiences it. It is good you have a few ladies to chat with and people here as well.
One of the things that hit me in menopause, is my brain going to mush! I could not remember many things or even work out how to use devices I had mastered in the past. Even my sewing machine became same strange device that dropped down out of the sky!
My mind created new words for every day items. Coathanger became "Umbrellas", the lawn mower was a tractor, it was difficult to organise a cup of coffee some mornings let alone cook a meal.
Then there are the hot flushes, one way to cut down on heating bills in the winter.
Trying to keep up some exercise, throw in a bit or fruit and veg when you can and cut yourself a bit of slack for this time of year.
The library will have many books on menopause as well, I recall finding one with all kinds of funny stories in it of women's experiences with this Change Of Life!
For me, once I sort of understood what was happening, I was able to live with the effects and changes.
Cheers for now from Dools
