Pastor L asked:


Only happens when I have a hot flash. This itching is like I’m covered with millions of biting stinging ants. when the hot flash stops the itching stops. Is this something can be stopped wisth medication? What’s causing it” I’ve talked to other women in perimenopause, they have the hot flashes but not this itching.

My daughter has been experiencing hot flashes since she was 18! What causes this?

September 16th, 2009
Ava asked:


My daughter is now thirty-six years old and has seen a GP, Gyno, Endocrinologist, and Internist. She shows no signs of menopause or perimenopause according to a number or exams and blood tests. It is uncomfortable ane embarrassing for her to go into meetings or go out for an evening because she keeps flushing and perspiring! Her hair gets wet, her make-up runs and she is miserable. Has anyone experienced this or heard of it?

I’ve been on my period for six weeks now. It lightens up but has been pretty steady. Why is this happening?!

No stress, nothing major going on. Is it possible that I’m experiencing perimenopause at 36 and this is why? What could possibly be causing this nuisance?! Thanks!

Caffiene.what’s the best way to wean yourself off from it?

September 4th, 2009
PURR GIRL TORI asked:


I’ve been told by my gynocologist that caffiene is especially bad for me because I am experiencing intense hot flashes (I am in perimenopause) I am sick of the hot flashes. Does anyone know of a safe way I can kick caffiene? I really hate to do this, but if it will help me healthwise, I will do it.
1. One cannot go cold turkey from caffiene addiction. I’ve tried it, and the headaches are horrific! 2. I am a heavy coffee drinker. Damn, I’m going to miss my coffee! (well, I’ll need a new vice, ha)
I am very serious about kicking this. If it’s going to improve my health – and according to my gynocologist, this will cut my suffering in half if I get rid of caffiene. I didn’t mean to make light of it.

What are the symptoms of perimenopause? What should I, as a husband expect or look for?

August 28th, 2009
mimbres asked:


My wife has headaches, mood swings, loss of libido and cannot sleep very well. Will a treatment help her if it is determined that she is in this state of menopause? She is 38 years old and I have notice a considerable change in the last year. I thought it might be our relationship having issues but, nothing I do or talk about seems to ease any of her stresses. Her cycles are irregular and her flow is also heavy at times. She has complained, saying her body feels like it is on fire. Is this a hot flash? She has gained weight and sex seems to cause her some pain and bleeding. HELP please!
I put this question in this section because I wanted answers from actual experiences. I will repost in health section later.
Junkman – The bullet proof vest is a good idea. We have six kids, sometimes the bullets are already flying when I get in the room! Duck and hide. You have described exactly what I deal with, even the week after period.

I wish she could sleep better. Sleeping pills are too addictive for her. She had to stop using them. She was not taking them as prescribed.

I think everyone in the family runs for cover when the mood is bad.

I help with everthing I can so, that is not the issue. It has to be a hormon issue.

Everyone walks on Eggshells…

Please help me with this menopause question?

August 22nd, 2009
Bonnie D asked:


I was told by my doctor I’m in perimenopause. I’m 43. He put me on a low dose birth control pill to help with my severe hot flashes. It’s the second day I’ve been taking it and I’m starting to bleed. I haven’t had a period since April, and now my period seems to be starting. Is this normal?

Almost 47, very light period, on a off brown discharge and some cramping. Start of menopause?

August 20th, 2009
curbo60 asked:


I will be 47 in September and this month my period has been quite off. First, I was about 9 days late. When I finally did get my period is was just very light, brown discharge with a day or moderate bleeding. It’s been over a week now and I am still experiencing the brown discharge and mild cramping. I am not pregnant, nor am I sexually active at this time. Could this be the beginnings of menopause?
