In my world, 35 is the new 50 – with menopause and all.
I had wondered about this
for a while –If I was in menopause or
close to it?
A simple little blood
test said yes, yes I am on the tail end side of pre-memo pause.
Nice.
And now I can once and for all say I am truly sorry for
being a snappy bitch lately – my hormones are making me do it.
And yes, when I started crying the other day for NO reason –
again the hormones.
No sleeping through the night for me – check.
Irritability – BIG CHECK
Hot Flashes – had those a few months ago but I chalked it up
to radiation after effects – it could have been a double whammy?
Crashing fatigue, anxiety, mental confusion, itchy skin –
check, check, check and check.
Now these I still
chalk up to recent surgery and new chemo, but I could be wrong??
What if once I do go through full menopause I am a whole new
person, with this new memory and energy?
Well you are right, menopause isn’t going to give me back
that part of my – I will be curious to
see how this plays out.
