[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1671178, member: 25884"] I hate to have to admit that I basically had no symptoms going through menopause. However, I was on birth control pills for many many years to control the horrendous monthly periods I had. So the doctor changed the doses as time went on, but I stayed on them until my early 50's. They when I went off them, everything just stopped. I had 2 hot flashes... the first I couldn't figure out what was happening when I all of a sudden got hot and sweaty... thought I was getting the flu. The 2nd was about a couple weeks later, and I realized what it was from others conversations.... That was it basically. I had less energy and I have gained about 30 lbs over the last 20 years. Some I attribute to needing the ankle replaced and now the knees because it is extremely painful to walk or stand. Hopefully I will get back to being able to walk more once the knees get done, and be able to lose some of the weight from the inactivity. I had a friend that had terrible hot flashes/sweating spells and was very moody... she would get really bitchy and then get so emotional and cry. I felt really sorry for her. I guess that after 40 years of suffering with a miserable period, my reward was to not suffer through a miserable menopause. I feel for you guys since I know how miserable my friend was... and her marriage did suffer through it but they managed to keep it together. [/QUOTE]
