1. Three words

Evening Primrose Oil.

[KitchenWitch]

2. Will try that!

:hi:

[u4ic]

3. It's made a huge difference for me

About 95% reduction in symptoms, and believe me, there were many, and very severe. It was astounding.

Your skin gets softer, too. :-)

[KitchenWitch]

5. OOOH

Soft skin...SOLD!

[SeattleGirl]

9. Wow, I'll have to check that out too.

Now if I could just find something to deal with night sweats and hot flashes. This "transitional stage" sucks! x(

[KitchenWitch]

14. I LOOOOVVVEE perimenopause

NOT!

[u4ic]

16. A friend is going through

the same thing; mind you, she's a dozen years older than me. I'm dreading it...

If you have a chance - knowing your situation I don't know if it'll be soon - perhaps you might want to try visiting a good naturopath. (insurance often covers a percentage of naturopathic visits up here...don't know if it does down there). Some have had very good success...

:hug: :loveya:

23. Chocolate peanut butter? (n/t)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Hormones work too.......

I know we're not supposed to use them......

But they sure as heck work for me!

Sorry you're having them, sweetie........:hug: :loveya:

[KitchenWitch]

7. I am concerned because of my health history

and my increased risk of breast cancer, that hormones are not the way to go in this case.

I will be over it in a day or so (I am just having the emotional roller coaster crap).

[KitchenWitch]

8. awww!

I know I should not complain, but man...even though outwardly things are good, I get the "depths of despair" when I am PMSing (and I am on a high dose of antidepressants to begin with).

[merh]

11. premature menopause

I haven't had that to deal with in years.

I get moody, but that is cause of life and lack of sleep.

And you can complain all you like, that's what we are here for :pals: :hug:

If folks don't like it they can go jump in a lake! :)

:loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

10. Hey merh!

[merh]

12. Awww, a highjack for a hug!

I'll be a part of that any day of the week! :pals: :hug:

21. Being a guy does not stop me from liking Queen Victoria's cure...

...and if I was a lady I would have a medicinal reason for liking it too!

(I know...PMS=Puttin up with Men's Sh*t...I'll move along here...just tryin' to be helpful...sheesh) :blush:

[Lowell]

22. I hate PMS too

Ooops! Sorry, I thought this was about Parked Motorcycle Syndrome.

[ganeshji]

24. It bites.

If it sucked it might feel good.
