My hair is falling out.
My tummy sticks out.
And I haven't seen my toes in years.
Sex is out I lament with a pout,
haven't felt THAT way in years!
Ladies feel free to add a line lets see what we get. :bouncing:

Cute idea! Here goes...
I have hair on my face,
Lines I can't erase
And I sweat while others freeze.
Those cute little dimples in my cheeks disappeared
Only to return in my knees!

I sit and I think,
Has it really been a week?
And where did I put my keys!

people look at me and stare
at the lady walking with long grey hair
who has no zip
where she used to skip
and I'm red faced most of the time.
I sprout some hairs on my chinny chin chin
thank goodness they are grey
I wish I my arms were longer so
I could pull them out like hay.
Bonnie
P.S. (pull out the hairs not my arms hahah)

ok, i found you, and i'll play:
here i am with TD,
and an urgent need to pee,
and hair grows where it shouldn't,
and no desire (well, i wouldn't
take it personally, if i were you) ...
and i'm hunched, and bunched, and feeling weak --
tell me, just when did i peak?
i try to get strong, i try this trend or latest "insight-
ful" thing; i get along, but still ... (if i'd had any foresight
in my youth, i'd have discovered some kind of truth --
don't abuse that body! it's a fragile melody!)
i totter and fall, and i've no balance at all,
will i ever not limp? i'm a gimp! phooey!
i not aging!! i'm raging!! -- at sixty? -- i can't be!!
not me!! phooey!
i have much left to do, much to see, a grandchild to meet!
i repeat, i repeat -- not me!!
so get well, you old thing, you have work yet to do,
and life to pursue ...
i repeat, i repeat -- not me!!
but phooey!, just the same ...

I tell you this, heed you this counsel:
Smile not at the graying storyteller;
Often is good what the old ones sings (and say);
Wrinkled lips may speak choice words
From those whose head droops, whose skin sags,
and who limps between canes.
("Havamal" Poetic Edda, Viking Age 8th - 11th Century CE)
Hooray, no more acne bloom
No more monthly aches and cramps
Wisdom is listened to by those who seek
Knowledge hard won by long experience.

alas I cannot claim the credit, for starting this thread, but loved it, and yet it did not go anywhere fast........ but I do have some questions or what ever to ask of you, and I do not know where or how.
Tis all this crap that is going down on the 26th with me. I am really in a churning mess JB. Since I am not 'perimenopausal' nor menopausal with HRT or even BC pills in my life (well except for 3 months back in 1969) I do not seem to fit in. I am just plain old menopause for 3 years now. Never had any type of meds or treatments. Went through it 'unmedicated?' dunno even if that is the correct phrase.

To carrry on the poem,
Tis Asleep I'd like to be
I toss and turn and then I mourn
of the sleep I thought I'd see,
when all the wee ones left the nest
and no longer needed me.
Now tis night and its my plight that sleep could
be so free, but menopause has COME and the race
has been won.. every one is asleep but mee!

in all honesty JB I could not see the need for HRT I had (have still I hope) good bone mass, good mamograms, (big'uns) even that hurts like the dickens due to the density of them.
I never understood about HRT but remember watching a CBC documentary about pregnant mares and I cried saying "oh dear for the sake of whisker chins?) I know now it is much more involved...but still it was never brought to my attention, because I never complained to the doctor each year..... as you know me enuff to know I 'thought I was supppose to be this way" that to me goes along hand in hand with TD.
At work (mushroom farm) I cried daily, as there was a 'co worker' who was my age, even born in same hospital as me, lived on the same military base when we were born, she was 'menopausal', but then she had a hysterectomy at age 25 due to some major problem....so she was now (then) aged 46 and 'considered that way?" blew me away that is for sure...so I remained the "mild meek stomp all over, treat like manure Bonnie in her eyes," and I had my peri happening at that time...twas terrible, but I also had TD beginning to rear its ugly head. But I swore I WOULD NEVER be like her, and hurt people for the sake of being what ever.....and I have tried not to be and I think I was sucessful. Now this....... Menopause with added bonus of this mess I am in.
Yet when asked by my doctor, how I was...I simply said fine and dandy, or same same, or the usual...never thinking one could complain!!! How simple of a patient I was/am but now I am stronger thanks to this board.
Oh Yes and Birth control pills were not good for me back in 1968. there were not many choices to be had...and even though I was put on the weakest for that time... in the 3 months I was on them (just before getting married) I gained weight, so my wedding dress had to be refitted. I tried staying on for a while, but got sicker and sicker and sicker.. So was taken off immed.
I ended up trying to get pregnant and it took 7 years!!! then it took 5 years for the second one. Such things we had to do to try to get pregnant....(had internal problems, of things not being where they should be (I think it is tilted womb?) something like that, which of course did not straighten out as they hoped from a vaginal birth, as I did not have one of those....hahha
MY LUCK

Back to the Laments
At nights when I am fast asleep
my wee feline friend snorring at my feet
I waken suddenly! to that annoying sound
of sweat dripping from my neck to the ground.
My jam's are wet, my feet are cold,
I have to run, cos I cannot hold
hold what you ask?
well.... nature calls (and calls, and calls)
Has my bladder shrunk?
How long does this last?
in the great scheme of things
This peri stuff that we always dream of!
but when it has ended (and it really will)
our lives will begin
and no need for pills (*cept for other things)
And that thought alone my dear dear friends
is what brings us back
from the depths of despair,
to enjoy the pleasures of the freedom of life
Yeah menopause, ;) ;) nudge nudge
we greet you and NOT with strife!
