All I can say is WOW!

I have added power surge to my favorites.

I was amazed at how many of my symptoms have now been validated!

Thank You Thank You!

Now lets hope for a cure!

I saw that one in the 34 signs of menopause on the www.power-surge.com site that I discovered last night while trying to get more info on perimenopause. Those women over there are killing me softly with there song.

Here is the link:

Thanks for the link. I thought that I might be at the beginning stages and the 34 symptoms helped confirm. It is amazing some of the symptoms, I would have never thought of. I have been complaining of being light-headed/head rush the past couple of months. I would have never linked it to menopause. I also have the change in periods (shorter, heavier), fatigue, loss of concentration (thankfully there is an explanation for it), I was recently diagnosed with the beginning stages of arthritis and once in awhile my heart skips a beat.

Thankfully none of it is very severe at this point.

I now have a new found respect for women. I new hot flashes and moodiness, I had no idea how severe things could get.

Thanks for the links. At least now I know I'm not going crazy for the heck of it.

Wow, there seems to be alot of younger (30's, early 40's) going through this. You have my sympathy.

Don't have to wonder about menopause here-had a total hysterectomy 4 months ago-been in perimenopause for 10 years. To be honest-with the exception of the pesky hot flashes I feel better now than the last 10 years!!! Guess I didn't need no stinking estrogen. Even dh commented about my new calm nature, but he is a little tired of freezing to death when a hot flash hits while we're driving-I crank that AC as cold as it'll go and turn the fan on high
