Fay, hang in there. Connie, my mom had breast cancer, then tamoxifen, so fairly instant menopause. I wouldn't recommend this method.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

It has been almost 10 years for me, Connie. I have to say it was pretty much a non-event for me. Hot flashes, mostly in the form of night sweats. The doctor had me try HRT, but it was horrible for me with deep depression; the same reaction I had previously with BCPs. I used over the counter supplements, in particular a product called Promensil and I believe that helped a lot.

Yay, that sounds a bit hard core.

Those are a type of soy supplement, aren't they? Off to Google!

Both the progesterone cream and promensil are much cheaper via ebay or other on line sources.

Ah, iso-whozits. And since I'm already have bone loss issues, they're going to get worse. I'm going to have to really bite the bullet and get off the diet Coke. Dammit. And it's not even for the caffeine, it's for the carbonation. I've discovered that my addiction isn't to the caffeine, as such, but to bite. I'm so bad at the breaking habits thing.

Club soda, lemon juice and real or artificial sweetener. Bubbly lemonade, plenty of bite. Lime juice and limade. If you don't have sugar issues, fruit juice, bubbly with a bit of lemon and lime. (Also clear sodas. It is phosphoric acid, not CO2 that causes bone loss and other problems.)

Ginger ale good. Bite of carbonation and ginger.

I'll check my fizzy drinks for phosphoric acid.
