Debbie -- thanks for that info from your perimenopause group. I am 32,

but both my mom and her mom started menopause at 34 (yep, believe it),

so I have been bugging the docs about this. My PCP tested my FSH

(Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and said there is no sign of early

menopause.. but then I remember someone on here told me that test

doesn't tell you a whole lot, so who knows. My periods are irregular

too, so gonna keep bugging the docs about it.

Take care -

that group is here in yahoo and it's called Beginning

Menopause. The only thing about the group, well not really the group

but with alot of suggestions from people in the group is to use

and/or consume alot of soy. Well that just doesn't cut it for us

with thyroid problems because we're supposed to stay away from that

stuff.

I bought a box of one of those herbal menopause remedies they've got

out now...darn if I can even remember the name but there's quite a

few of them around and didn't read the box before I bought it (shame

on me) so I ended up giving it to the person that told me about it It

was supposed to help stop the hot flashes associated with menopause.

I'm thinking/doubting that I probably won't have that problem with

hot flashes since I'm pretty much always cold...blanket, heating pad,

sweater, and jacket at my desk gives most that indication at work

because they keep it like a meat locker in that place! I do though

experience night sweats occassionaly. Come to think of it I haven't

even had any of those in awhile. Those were those " cold flashes " I

was telling y'all about where I'd wake up in the middle of the night

freezing cold with goose bumps from head to toe and would take me a

few minutes just moving an inch at a time because the sheets where I

wasn't laying would be so cold but my body was burning hot. Hey,

ding dong, light bulb shining bright at the top of my head, maybe the

increased dosage on the synthroid has stopped those? I can only hope!

I know it took my mother about 10 years to finally get through

menopause and she started early too...not as young as you are but not

too much older then that if I remember right. That is another thing

I can only hope for is that I do NOT act like she did when she was

going thru the ol' change hehehe.

Ok y'all...today was my half day off so it's nap time for me. Since

I didn't stay at work so long and get my daily nap in my car at

lunch, I'm heading that way now and catch me some zzzzz's )

Y'all take care and have a great weekend!

Debbie
