      sounds like you guys had a fun night! I have 2 grandsons...11 n 8, and I try to do as much as possible with them during summer months because I teach during the rest of the year. I sometimes wish for a rainy day so I can convince them to build a fort with me and watch movies!! But, alas, whatever they ask I try to comply...low energy be damned!

      Hi Katy, yes had fun definitely do try and make the best out of staying home and like I said I really wish I could take them somewhere fun but we do still have fun being home... Having the summer off must feel fantastic!! My sister works at the local high school and gets her summers off too , and always looks forward to it.. I don't know how you guys do it I use to feel so strong and independent but this menopause has me feeling crappy and with all the symptoms I just stay home... Waiting for better days lol .. I read today the average for menopause with peri symptoms is 5 years 3 of them being Peri and then when periods stop and your actually menopausal its another 2 years into menopause on average and doesn't matter how many periods you skip and then start again cause even though you've crossed over symptoms will still be there then slowly taper off... For me I had the hysterectomy with ovaries left so no idea where I'm at in my journey just have to go by the ole symptoms so when I'm feeling better I guess I'm through.. Hope your enjoying your summer off Katy!!! Here's to better days ahead ????

    Sorry that you're feeling ill but I think this periomenopause has a lot of ups and downs to it. I'm 53 and I have anxiety too .. have been nauseous before but not a lot. So far every day feels emotionally taxing but I'm afraid that these hormonal fluctuations are considered normal. I don't like any of this and I'm only my third month of no menses.

      Yes I was low on salt and b12 . It really works and gives me lots of energy. Well they give b12 shots all the time so I don’t think it would hurt .
