Menopause...or Mean-o-pause?

Damn people.

I was the person that started their menses after an absence of about 2 years. That amazed me. It was after taking Iodoral at between 37 and 50 mg for about 4 months. It was also after taking IP6 for a couple of weeks. Don't know the magic bullet, but something "gave". I was encouraged.

I am presently taking a big old break from both. Thought I'd see where I was at. Haven't taken anything for about 3 weeks now. In fact, the only thing I'm doing for the past 3 weeks is Oil Pulling.

Well, ever since I had that spotting, and especially for the past 3 weeks I've been sweating like a pig. There is no doubt in my mind that this has somehow pushed me straight into hot flashes. I have month long PMS now. No more spotting, but I can tell my body has changed tremendously. I have that premenstral bloating all the time. I'm starting to have menopausal insomnia. I start to sweat within 2 minutes on the excercise machine in the morning, and after 30 mnutes it looks like I took a shower (literally).

I am not losing weight. I am a big fat bloated pig.

Tonight I was sitting in a very air conditioned public place with a wet shirt. About three years ago I used to kick the covers off a few times a night. Now I sleep with no covers at all with the air conditioning blasting.

Maybe this is where I should have been all along before my menses and any Peri-menopausal symptoms completely stopped. Am I happy about this? If you came up and asked me right now, right this very second, I might feel the strong tendency to slap you accross the face. I guess deep down I'm happy. On the surface, I feel like I could hurt someone. F&*K. Don't mean to offend...oh hell, I lied, I could care less.

Yikes.

Molly ...(help me!)
