Menopause
Meeting Dr Margaret Smith
In 2007 I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Margaret Smith who helped me immensely. After numerous visits to my local GP (who by the way is a female, a little older than myself & who I thought would understand me), asking for help as I wasn’t coping with my menopause, she said “You need […]

My Mouth & My Brain……
My mouth isn’t connected to my brain or my brain isn’t connected to my mouth. I just can’t seem to get out what I want to say when I want to. My brain won’t work quick enough to get the words out, then I feel pressured to get out what I’m trying to say because […]

From: travel@xxx.org Name: Tim Hxxxxxx I see my wife disappearing into a black cavernous hole of anger one minute and sweet brightly lit lady who I love very much the next. How the hell do I keep the light on? Tim Hxxxxxx

HELP!!!! My wife is 49 and despite her denial…
HELP!!!! My wife is 49 and despite her denial (to me but not others) is showing all the signs of menopause. She went from loving passionate partner to don’t touch me, I don’t know you any more, I am not interested in what you think. The mood swings are hard to cope with one moment […]
… so little written… from the male’s point of view.
From: william.sxxxxx@snet.net Name: William Sxxxxx Comments: This is a greatly needed area of research. Especially the part about men understanding and dealing with menopause. There is so little written on the subject from the male’s point of view. Good luck. William Sxxxxx
… the mood swings are more frequent as are the hot spells…
From: PeteBxxxxxx@aol.com Name: Pete Bxxxxx Comments: I am not sure if you are looking for input from the male side but here is my take. My wife and I have been together for 22 years. Some good some not so good but we’ve managed to weather the storm. SO FAR. To be 100% honest, there […]

The “Communication Channel” went static… we lost “Connection”…
How ironic. Sitting with Linda at about 9.00 pm last night showing her how to make her first post and the “communication channel” between us went static. Trying to revive the “line” and it just got worse. Must have been a “solar flare” situation because no matter what I said the static got so bad […]
Is this for real?
I don’t believe we’re doing this. Laying down the bones of our life and the journey so far. At the age of 43 I had a hysterectomy and my doctor assured me that I wouldn’t have to worry about menopause for another 5yrs, WRONG!!!!!!!!!! … for the next 6 months I thought I was having […]
