Symptoms of Menopause

The symptoms and signs of menopause are not cut and dry, do not appear in logical order and are not experienced by all women the same way all of the time. If you are a control freak this would be an excellent time to release your grip and let what may be, be. There is no silver bullet. A relaxed, flexible attitude will serve you well and help reduce or eliminate a negative experience. A sense of humor will go a long way too.

Talk to other women who are in mid-life. Support from others going through a similar experience will be valuable. And, depending on the women, you may find yourself laughing harder than you ever have.

Hot Flashes and Night Sweats: Sounds sexy. Could even be the name of a band. Unfortunately, red, puffy and clammy is a better way of describing the flash in the pan heat and dripping wet experience. See the Hot Flashes and Night Sweats Treatment section.
