I do not see any gain, growth or enriching experience by having menopause. If something was developed to prevent menopause I would be the first woman in the queue.

I'm not keen on it either. I also think they do not know enough about it as I am sure peri-menopause triggered my Fibromyalgia and my Oesto Arthritis.
With luck and HRT I can control meno but I will have the other two for life.
Thanks a bunch Menopause !!!

I suppose it depends really on what you mean by preventing menopause. Menopause (as in the ceasing of periods and the end of fertility) is something I'm a big fan of because it finally gives us women freedom from all that hassles.
HOWEVER, it's the symptoms of menopause that suck. If they can find a definite way to allow us to become menopausal without all the fuss and bother, then yes I'm all for it.

Me too. The only good thing for me, so far, is that I'm feeling more confident and assertive than I used to be, but you can keep the rest of it!

Gxx That's a really great thing to hear Gelis as a lot of women seem to say the opposite. To a certain extent I am the same and have kind of got to the point where I will speak my mind (although I would always try and avoid deliberately hurting people if avoidable) as I am at a point where I think life is too short for huge amounts of pretence. xxxx |

I think this is a matter of time, Susan; at least, that has been my experience. When I first hit peri I got a bit wobbly, which was one of my reasons (along with other "mental" issues) for wanting HRT. 11 years down the line, and having been off HRT for 5 years I can say that I am generally more assertive & confident - less willing to put up with other peoples' rubbish, that's for sure. Still have bouts of weepiness, though - as I've always been pretty emotional I think I'm stuck with that one.  Gxx |
