Just saying thanks

13 years ago

I started looking through old posts and realized I've gone through peri-, full-blown, and post-menopause with the help of all my friends at the forum.

Thanks for being there for me then, and now.

Hi cheerful, If you don't mind me asking, are you feeling better? If so how long until the sky turned blue for you again. So far I've been in menopause hell for six years. This year being the worst. Please give me so hope to hold on to.

From what I can figure out, I started peri in my late 40s(I'm now 55). Went through about 5 years of hell(hot flashes; bad mood swings; marital issues).

Been on HRT for 3 years, which has eased but not eliminated my symptoms. The worst thing happening now is the weight gain, osteoporosis and some anger issues.

To answer your question lostnj, I'm better than I was 5 years ago, but not where I want to be. The sky is blue, with patchy clouds.

I would like to thank everyone on this site!!!!!!! Even the newbies. You all may not realize the ideas that you give some of us, to either fix a problem or to start growing something new and weird. LOL. I love/hate some of your garden pics, as I live in an area that can get snow/frost in July. I can get real depressed looking at all those great gardens that you all have. LOL. But you keep giving me hope and desire to do better. I am trying to start a compost pile and it is because of you people. I will be trying some things to extend my growing season, and those Ideas have come from you, here on this wonderful site. So I give all of you a huge THANK YOU!!!!! I dont like all the pop-ups on this site though.

You all helped us a great deal planning our modern farm house. We wanted to say thank you for all the help and show some photos of our 2 year adventure that we took with your help. We would be happy to answer any questions. I am sorry the photos are so poor - they are actually inventory photos! I will put a link in for all of them. Here are some things that we love about the place: 1. Hide a Hose central VAC. 2. Blum motorized cabinets. 3. Metal roof. 3. The plan that we developed with the architect. 4. Motorized coupla windows. 5. Liebherr full built in (what a pain and drama but we love it). 6. The kitchen island. 7. Serena Lutron automated shades. 8. Insteon lighting system. 9. ELK alarm and automation system. Geothermal heating and cooling. An awesome Morso fireplace. A toto Neorest. Any questions please let us know and THANK YOU AGAIN! Here is a link that might be useful: Photos - Just snaps - Real photos on houzz soon!

Cheerful thanks for responding so quickly. I am also on hrt have been for 18 months. Definitely helped with flashes, nightsweats, dryness etc. What has been awful for me is panic and anxiety attacks worse by the day. I am 49 and started 6 years ago. I am glad you are feeling a little better hopefully the rainbow will shine for you soon.
