Hi to everyone!
When I last posted several months ago, I thought I was begining to move on from the menopause.
Unfortunately, over the past few months I've hit another low with all the dreadful symtoms again.
The main one being weight gain, recenly I've had this need to drink large quantities of milk and eat chocolate.
I just don't seem to be able to control this urge, therefore the weight gain has been inevitable.
I've been suffering from the menopause for 8yrs now, how much longer do I have to suffer?
People who can identify with me, I'd be pleased for your support and how you've coped.
Thanks,

I hear ya! I am going on 11years and don't ya just hate the cravings. I thought I was the only one that craved foods. I just bounce from one thing to another especially in the winter months. I have no idea why ..like right now I can't seem to get enough Chili...of all things CHILI! Sometimes it is like canned grapefruit...tons of it! You can gain weight on grapefruit! One winter I couldn't eat enough oranges...boxes of them! I'm not a chocolate lover so hopefully I don't go through a chocolate phase. I just have to shake my head and think is this going to end!!! So yes it ain't pretty...LOL. My daughters ask... gosh mom is this what I have to look forward too? I sure hope NOT!

I feel like it never ends. I had my period 17 days ago. I now have it again. I've gone from 21 days to 17 days now. And lately, it begins with dark brown discharge and it lingers for over 7 days. It never used to do that, What is the dark brown discharge all about? I just want to wake up from this bad dream that I seem to be in every single day. I want to feel young and beautiful again. I don't. I don't feel like a young, vibrant sexy woman. I feel like an old, bitter falling apart woman.
