I just turned 45 and have ZERO symptoms of menopause as far as I can tell. No hot flashes, no heavy/irregular periods, no unpredictable cycles, normal length etc. BUT... I have noticed in the last 5 yrs or so that I get some intense PMS symptoms in the 2 weeks before my period. My breasts get REALLY sore and my "mean quotient" goes WAY up. It's as if I've filed my tongue. I don't know how much of the mean I really let out, but I sure feel it inside. I feel all tied up in knots, crabby, trivial things bugging me way more than they should, etc. I've got a teenager and 2 preteens, so that doesn't help either as my life is obviously less than "tranquil" most of the time. I mean, I'm not sitting around evenings relaxing and cross stitching in front of a good TV show like a mom whose done raising kids, I'm doing "mom" stuff still at 45.
So, I decided to make an appointment with the GYN and talk about what could help me. I've already cut out the caffeine and tried some of the natural remedies, but nothing helps. I just KNOW she'll want to put me on The Pill, but do I really want to take that at my age when I don't need to (tubes tied), risk getting fat and having migraines come back? I don't think so. What about anti-depressants? Is that something like to be recommended to me. I'm not depressed, I'm happy as a clam as long as I'm not premenstrual. What should I ask for, or expect?

This is old string but pertinent to me..
  Can any of you give me a citation or at least the website for the investigation being discussed in this string? I was still working for them at the time & there were MANY issues at the time - paychecks becoming smaller & smaller every month. Would love to know what this investigation is/was about if possible... Thanks so much

Re menopause
(Grin) Guess that's what's wrong with me! I used to be a bundle of energy working 3 jobs at a time, now I can barely handle one and can't remember sh** about what I did 5 minutes ago. If hormone replacement can fix me, I want some NOW.
menopause
I can't take HRT either - my sister died of ovarian cancer at age 46. :(
I've tried all the otc stuff-Estroven, black cohosh, etc. but nothing has touched my sad moods. I hate this! Guess I'll have to look into an antidepressant. Thanks to all the replies.
RE: menopause
The psychiatrist I work for often mentions menopausal hormone changes causing symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can't hurt to mention it to your GYN and get your levels checked.
Going through menopause
I'm 43, I started having night sweat and hot flashes 2 years ago. My period is still as regular as clock work, I didn't have my first period until I was 16. Not sure what that means for when my cycle will end, I'm hoping for sooner other than later.
Is this menopause or what?
I got married last December and moved from the south to California with husband, stayed for 5 months and moved to Oklahoma where he will be pastoring a church. All my family is back south. My doctor told me I was menopausal back in January of this year, but still having periods off and on and now spotting. I am so super sensitive, mood swings, crying spells, feeling neglected, easily offended, missing the closeness of my family back home, my kids and grandkids. I love my husband and he is good to me, although does get on my nerves a lot lately and we have had some major clashes, and I'm feeling like the "honey" is gone out of the moonr. I have been contemplating just leaving him and going back to my home in the south. But for fear of humiliation, shame and embarrassment of what the hometown folks and church folks will say, not to mention "I don't believe in divorce." One part of me is saying "this will pass as it is just the menopause I am going throug, but other side is saying "I'd be better off by myself.' Anyone have gone through natural menopause and went through changes such as mine, or is this a natural occurrence for someone going through such life-changing events within the past 9 months, marriage, moved 2 different times to differing parts of the US, plus married to a minister, plus going through menopause.    
menopause
I am getting lots and lots of hot flashes, uggggh
but along with this I am very thirsty during the hot flash. Anyone else going through this and have this symptom?
Menopause keeps me warm.
Be a 52-year-old woman and you will have no trouble keeping not only yourself warm, but radiating heat to those around you.
question re menopause
I'm 48 and have been having hot flashes, sweats, irregular periods, etc. but the thing that really bothers me is my mood. I feel really depressed a lot. For those of you who have gone through menopause, is this a normal part of it? I'm wondering if it'll pass in time or if I should seek some kind of help.
Question about menopause (sm)
I'm post menopause, but not enjoying being 50+ (the menopause years). Does menopause bring anxiety and create altogether different moods/personality changes, worrying, etc.
Back to the menopause question -
Has anyone ever heard of Happy PMS cream and what is your opinion if you have heard of it or used it?
Menopause and hormone replacement. sm
I am 3 years from my last period and have refrained from taking hormones because of a family history of breast and uterine cancer in my mother. I have not felt well for some time and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. My GYN thinks that bio-identical hormones would make me feel more myself but I have been reluctant to take them. For those of you taking hormones..do they make you feel a lot better? Thanks for any advice.
menopause side effects
I had that, too. Took me forever to get it together after my hysterectomy and still have trouble sleeping even 2-1/2 years later. Did find that a super high B-complex vitamin and proper feeding times help a lot, though.
Question about heart palpitations/menopause.
Has anyone else in the throws of menopause experienced heart palpitations, shortness of breath (very infrequently), and other odd feelings? Just asking before I race to the ER. Thanks in advance. 
but boards will be dano's boards and that's the issue. no one dare disagree with dano.
yes the boards will be boring with just one-sided opinions but we need to please dano. isn't that the purpose of MT Stars?
YOU ARE DEAD ON ABOUT OSi
The lunatic department head you are talking about is the reason I left that department AND OSi once she finally got her pie in the sky promotion and knocked a bunch of much more qualified people down along the way.
Imagine being the best at your job and being usurped by someone on a power trip whose main goal is to try to convince everyone how great she is because she basically doesn't know what the hell she is doing.
I know how to do my job and don't need some hick micromanaging me and breathing down my neck all the time.
If she were knowledgeable, she would organize her department with enough people to make it function properly, then leave them alone and let them do her job.
She is the biggest joke of a "manager" I have ever seen.
Good riddance, OSi!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He can't be dead......
Maybe Uncle June's gonna get on the phone with 9-1-1 and maybe give him mouth to mouth??? haha. Will be interesting to see how they're going to explain that next episode...he was pretty much gone there! And if it's another panic attack and he passed out and dreamed it AGAIN, not watching it anymore. Love the show, but those dreams, like the one in the beginning where Carmella was chatting with dead *Aide* are getting a little old...don't ya think???
Can't be dead.....
I agree with you about the dream gimmick - worn out.
However, there is a theory out there that this episode is actually the last episode of the series and that the 19 more that are to come - 11 this year and then 8 next year - will show us how all these situations evolved.
Dead End...not well-known, had
never heard of it before, but it is a good ol' suspense, kind of frightening movie with a weird ending. Would watch it again if they would play it again.
He's not dead, if that's what you mean. ..
n
now they say 130 are dead
and 300 injured due to terrorist attacks. I hope and pray they catch the ones responsible. Those poor people. 
I am dead serious.
I am sick of being treated like a third class citizen whle so other bozo is making tons of money off my work. Let's unite!!! Why do we need them, we can do this on our own!!??
Dead right! sm
For one of my graduate classes in Competitive Intelligence, I ran an operation against a private security company, starting with nothing but the name of the company.
Before I was through, I had discovered (strictly from public sources) that the CEO of this private security company was also on the board of a Saudi Arabian company, of which other board members were on the "watch" list of Homeland Security.
I knew where this company did its banking and about two significant loans it had defaulted on. I knew that one of the corporate executives, a male, had changed his last name just after arrest reports were recorded in the same county for an individual with the same "old" name (which was quite an unusual name).
I knew this and many, many "inside" details about the company's internal operations.
...starting with nothing but the name of the company.
What's in a resume? Your name, your address, your phone number, where you attended high school/college, former employers and perhaps other information about your hobbies, etc. Give me your resume, and I guarantee you I'll wind up with your SS#.
you know you are in a dead-end job when.....
you cannot get any type of pay increase after 2 years....sigh.....not surprised but it just depresses me. This is not a good way to start the new year. I am finding it hard to stay motivated. Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
I'm an MT; I know what a dead end job is! LOL. n/m

that's dead on the money
I have version 3 of Instant Text and used that to create phrase files of 4 words or more and then imported them into the different medical modules that I have. Between that and running the Accuracy Center every couple of months, I was able to get my accuracy to almost 100%, as long as I dictate the way I'm supposed to and the words are in the dictionary.
DH went out shopping later in day and said it was dead.

I keep thinking he's not dead, just (sm)
maybe in a coma for the whole season or something. Don't know if I can get my "fix" of the Sopranos if he's gone.
Top 10 dead end jobs....
Article in CareerBuilders
This was one of a few clerical positions that were listed as the tope 10 dead end jobs. I really am thinking of doing something else now.
Word Processors and Data-Entry Keyers
This sector of workers is expected to decline due to the proliferation of personal computers. Employment growth of data entry keyers will still be dampened by productivity gains, as various data-capturing technologies, such as bar code scanners, voice recognition technologies and sophisticated character recognition readers become more prevalent. In addition, employment of these workers will be adversely affected by businesses that are increasingly contracting out their work.
top 10 dead end jobs
Koudos to you!!! any person who is burnedout in any job should persue another avenue! I think it is great that you have taken that step to better your life and pursue happiness. It takes great courage to leave a comfortable situation and start a new path.
It's "keel" over dead,,,,,

Except he is dead and can't talk.

Nope -- He was dead serious.
I don't think so. He was dead serious saying there were new contacts available approved for 24-7 wear. This was when I first walked in -- did not even begin the exam. He wasn't smiling or saying it in a joking way at all. That alone made me uneasy. He seemed -- not all there if you know what I mean. And the longer I was there the more I felt that way. Also I should mention he tested both eyes together not right and then left and I have never not had my eyes checked individually. I know my right eye is a different prescription than my left. Also, I went to Sears for glasses prior and they always use that machine to measure the distance of pupils to make the glasses -- this wasn't done either. All round it was a horrible experience. There was another woman there complaining of these same things only she paid over $300.00 and they were refusing to give her a refund as well. Why should we be forced to pay for eye wear we cannot see out of? I will never return there again -- still intent to fight for the rest of my money though! Stay away, far, far, away from this place.
There would be nine dead dogs if this happened to me.
Really. Sad to say but I would find some way to eliminate these dogs if no one is willing to do anything. They are a health hazzard and a nuisance at this point. 
There would be two dead pit bulls in my neighborhood
If this happened to me. What if this was a child. I can't believe no one does anything about this in your community.
yeah but mr. ed is dead from head to toe.
whereas your ex-husband could still be of some service on a desert island, no?
dead town-ban WM stores
A little over 20 years ago WM opened in our town even though they had a Howard's at that time and put them out of business. Our nice town also had a sporting goods store, fabric store, several pharmacies, several local clothing stores and pool supply place. The only one that survived were the pharmacies. WM moved out a little over a year ago. Now we have to go 30 miles to find anything that we can't find in a dollar store. Not only do we have a big empty building that they left, now we will have another empty building that a chain grocery store is leaving because WM built super stores in the surrounding towns that use to shop in our nice little town. I suspect it will take years, if ever, to recover. Our only hope is that we have good leadership in our community.
dead brain regarding digital!
Trying to switch all my clients to digital, but first I need some help with it! Using the free ES wav player. One of the drs are going to email me the files and the other is going to use a FTP site. I dont know the first thing about transcribing files "digitally" Any instructions would be really appreciated!
Thanks ya'all!
U don't wanna know. Just hope he is dead or someone
But I feel (or smell) your pain. My son works at KFC and I swear I won't let his uniform come in contact or even be washed with any other laundry... peee euuuwww!! It actually has its own very distinctive scent...
Finally finished, no dead air.
She will be dead from cirrhosis in a few years probably then - nm

No good dead goes unpunished...
lol... I am sure if your company is reading this, they will not send anything next year.
If you are unhappy - leave, but I have honesty never heard of someone complaining about a Christmas gift.
Unbelievable
Ok, now they're saying the kid isn't dead. This story gets
crazier as the minutes pass. Kids are going nuts because the kid that was shot lives next street over. Home schooling next and a move coming up.
I smell a dead cat on the line.... so to say.
Such as in "another woman."
He's not dead. He's gonna be fine.
