I'm officially crabby!! UPDATE!!

Post by ncokely »

 My blood tests came back and said I am in menopause. 
I also have a low thyroid to blame some of my weight gain on!!! :?



UPDATE - I do get to take a pill for the low thyroid. 
I'm been trying to tell the doctor for 2 years I was in menopause but she kept having me take birth control or progesterone to start periods!!

Let's weigh this now ... no more of the monthly cramps, or the monthly supplies to buy (more $$$ for SB supplies), no more PMS vs. hot flashes (so far the only thing I have a problem with) and possibly taking some kind of a hormone pill.  mmmm ... I'd say it is not just a good thing but a "GREAT" thing!!  Now the thyroid is a whole different story but yes they should be able to give you something for that.

Sorry about the thyroid. Meds will help. But on the menopause, I don't mind getting there. Aunt Flo annoys the heck out of me.

Oh & here's something for you.

 I'm sorry about the thyroid and hope they straighten that out for you quickly.  As for the blood test - lucky you!  I keep getting the blood tests that say - you're not in menopause... and Aunti Flo turns up every 3-4 months now.

 Sorry about the menopause and the thyroid. I have been on thyroid meds for about 12 yrs now. I I'm wondering if I'm premenopausal. I have been having some hot flashes and I was visited by Aunt Flo twice this month.
