How does one deal with menopausal moods?
My mother never complained and neither did her friends.
Why is my generation going through these unexplainable moods?
I am 52. What else is there waiting for me that I don’t know about?

I feel for you because I have been there too. I just wore the patch and that helped. But now days it is thought to be dangerous so you probably will not wear it. Hormone patch. So what can you do? talk to your doctor and he might have some suggestions. mabe you can take natural things that will not harm you.
I am sorry that you have been going through some hard times. God cares and so do I. God bless you as you struggle with this. MY heart cries with you.

I usually slug a shot of Jack! This sounds awful, but it works. I am 60 and I believe; everything in moderation is permissible with God.

may God keep you; try to see your primary doctor so that some hormone replacement can be prescribed, sadly such a solution can lead to other complications; you could recommend a natural source of replacement; the next step is osteoporosis, lack of sexual desire, irritability, and such if these have not occured already. I would suggest that you take a multivitamin (Senior bland) take calcium–about 1200mcg followed with vitamin D and half the amount of calcium (depends on how much you take of calcium) of magnesium so if you take 1200mcg of calcium, you would take 800mcg of magnesium, but before you take any supplements, run this with your primary. I have heard of some sort of OTC hormone replacement or something similar so ask your primary or local pharmisist. If you are still active with you husband there is some supplement that will give you that extra “desire” it keeps your body (or that part) of your body lubricated so that you will be ready or more normal for your husband. Sorry for my lack of tect; just trying to help.

Your mom probably concealed it to some extent. Her generation was less likely to discuss menopause, and she may not have even known what it was.
She may have just thought she was having a bad day and worked through it.
Once you get through menopause life will get easier as long as you stay basically healthy. Things to be wary of: heart issues, osteoporosis, muscle tissue degeneration. Some of these can be helped by nutrition or vitamin supplements or exercise. Find a good physician and get regular checkups.
Also, cancer is a little more likely as we age. Again, regular checkups and early detection are the best course of action.
By the way, I’m a 67-year-old male. Don’t have menopause to deal with, but I have a number of other age-related issues.
