HelpRe: 54???
in reply to a message by solveig
If this makes you feel any better, menopause was nothing for me. The year that I turned 50, I started having my periods further apart. I think I only had five or six that year. When I was 50 years and four months, I had my last one. Another never came. That was it. No hot flashes, no negative emotions, nothing.

Thanks.
I've really only discussed this with three different wome (and now an internet message board, but most of you guys don't know me IRL) but whenever menopause comes up everyone wants to tell their stories. When I was younger I ignored them because it was years away, now it's not.
The main worries I have are about periods that never end. That definitely seems to be in my future, given that my periods are becoming more frequent and more unpredictable. As long as I was on my thyroid medication my periods were like clockwork, now even with me being on my thyroid medication they are a mess.
Oddly enough my PMS has significantly decreased as I've gotten older even with my periods getting crazier. It's kind of interesting to watch the whole process.
