Hello, Lovely Ladies,

I am going to be as CIVIL as I can be.... regarding two MENOPAUSAL symptoms, that many of us don't talk about! Those symptoms are: The Upstairs & Downstairs ODORS!! Per the youngins: I have to keep it 100! Having said that, a few times, I have experienced UNDERARM odor (UPSTAIRS) after taking a LONG, hot shower with a TON of GREAT-smelling body wash! Upon exiting the shower, I'm like what the HELL is that AWFUL smell? Well, duh, its me!! The smell is coming from my underarms!! Shut the front door & call me Mary!! That being said, this UNDERARM odor (like most menopausal symptoms) comes and goes; it is yet ANOTHER random, ridiculous symptom! To add insult to injury, the SECOND odor I speak of is my vajayjay! (DOWNSTAIRS)! Again, I said to myself after taking a LONG, hot, fragranced shower: What the HELL is that smell, and why is it below my stomach? Well, duh, it's me again! Suffice it to say, it too.. came and left, and I hope it NEVAA pays me another visit again!! Well ladies, it is evident, my hormones are IMBALANCED, so I have to deal with ALL of the HORRIBLE things they INFLICT on me!! That said, have you experienced the UPSTAIRS-DOWNSTAIRS anomalies? Tell me your thoughts.

    Oh, yeah. Strangely enough, men's deodorant/antiperspirants seem to work better for me now. Probably because they're stronger. My whole skin seems to have a sour milk smell to it after sweating, too. I remember one of my grandmothers had this kind of smell about her as well. She lived to 96, so all's good there, I guess.

    Hello Vivian. Take probiotics and drink plenty of water. Probiotics can help you.
