This past month I've been going through some weird stuff and I finally called my mom to whine about what is happening. She says "Sounds like your going through menopause" well she just busted my bubble and all that is in my head is DAMN PAM YOUR GETTING OLD! Don't get me wrong I'm not saying everyone who is going through menopause is old BUT to me that is how I felt!
I did a bit more research because I need my mom to be wrong but guess what I think she is RIGHT ON and I just need to accept the fact I'm getting older (every time I read these sentence I rolled my eyes, hehehe).
I have 26 of the 34 below symptoms....I'm going to say that's not good! Ok so making my dr appointment next week, its always better safe than sorry right. This getting old crap is not fun and I know I have many many years to dealing with falling apart, hope my family is ready to take care of me...LOL!
What I need to do now is start taking better care of myself. Exercise and Food is my next project, love how I call it a PROJECT. I know I'm silly- just trying to psych myself out that is something I want to do than something I need to do.

Hi, Pam--
New reader and I'm also 42 and think I am going thru the change too!
I found a free Droid app on Amazon to track my cycle. It's called MyDays and I think I'm going to like it. Just to kind of keep track of when Aunt Flo, especially since she's visiting more and more frequently... and sometimes NOT showing up at all!
Best of luck to you in this journey!!
