Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hi Lorra, Sorry to hear you are back in Lupie Land. As far as the menopause goes, that is one of my areas of expertise because I have ovarian failure, which I think is because of my lupus. I hate to suggest another medication, but I have been on lots of hormone replacement therapies, and it helps with the symptoms. I thought I was going out of my mind, literally, I cried all the time, I snapped at my family (and I have always told everyone that I have the patience of a saint :-) ), but it really helped me. Talk to your dr about your symptoms because it would be absolutely horrible to go through all of your lupus problems, and then to add menopause on top of it all! HOpe that helps!
