Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello Lovely Ladies,

I am DEEP in the throes of post-menopause, to say the least; regarding the meno-trios, it has been thee absolute worst for me!! That being said, my symptoms have been relentlessness! Suffice it to say, there have been many times, I have just wanted to go into a dark closet, and live there, til this sugar, honey, iced tea is OVAA!! Does any of you ladies feel the way I do? Tell me your thoughts; thanks in advance.

      Hi Vivian, thanks for responding. I have #5 , #9. The health anxiety makes it even worse for #5.

      Have you ever had gut issues? My problem is severe constipation. Lately, i only go if i take something and sometimes that doesn't help.

      Im guessing these post issues are from the lack of hormones. I hope it gets better.

      Hey Mary..

      I hear you, LOUD & clear! And yes, I have had GUT issues, as you sooooo... eloquently stated! How about this: My GUT has gotten bigger, it has expanded! Smh! Our hormones WREAK HAVOC on us womenfolk, it's overwhelming! You are soooo... right about the decline of our hormones! Anyhoo, be well, my menopausal sister!!
