[QUOTE="sunnyblueskies, post: 1671083, member: 39112"] Chiming in as a woman who is going through it, has been going through it for a few years........... I hate it. It's no fun. You change, body and mind. I can tell ya when it really started it got so bad my brain didn't work anymore. Like my brain was in a haze and I couldn't think straight anymore. That was the worse thing. Well, besides muscle pain. I couldn't live like that. So my husband and I went together to our regular doc to get options on how to deal with it. The option we chose is not necessarily one everyone would pick, but it worked for me. I've been on anti depressants for many years, due to a very tragic phase in our lives a few years back. So that covered the mood swings portion of menopause. Secondly we chose Hormone Therapy. I said no at first, because of all the hype of side effects everyone is talking about. But after a few weeks of deliberating and being miserable I said yes and it was the greatest thing. So for a few years I was on anti -depressants and Hormone Therapie. No night sweats, no physical pain and my mind was working. That's not everybodys thing though. I'm now off of the Hormones, still on the anti-depressants and I'm 54. My husband works full time off farm and I farm full time. Cow/calf about 90 head. I have mood swings and night sweats and that's all I notice. I'd suggest for the guys to go with your wife to the docs appt and go through this together. The more YOU understand, the more SHE understands how it affects you too, the better off for everyone involved. You have to know she is not blowing up at you (well most of the time =) ) or making your lives miserable just for fun. This phase in life just plain sucks. That's all I can tell you about it. I commend you for bringing up the subject, I really do. Hats off to you. Go with your wife to the doc appt.s and ask the doc the questions you need answered. [/QUOTE]
