The Change: Why is menopause so devastating, can we talk candidly about it?

Menopause has been called the change for decades, women don't discuss it & so when IT happens it's crippling, to say the least!

I noticed, I am the very first person to answer your question. My thoughts are women just don't want to discuss this topic, unfortunately.

At one time or another ALL women will experience one or more of the aforementioned symptoms, yet it is a TABOO topic.

No one will openly admit MENOPAUSE is a very severe problem for women. It doesn't just go away overnight, SOME women endure menopausal symptoms for 10 years plus.

Maybe, just maybe there will be open forums & symposiums on this relentless topic.

Lupron Depot 11.25 and menopause?
I have this treatment done 9 months ago now i don't feel that atraction to my husband, that I need to take hormones? What is wrong now i dont't feel what I use to feel before, can someone tell me what to do?That I need to take hormones to go back to normal I'm done with the treatment...

One of the side effects -which should have been disclosed by your doctor -is loss of sexual desire among others such as vaginal bleeding ,headaches etc...!!
Menopause -male and female - can best be treated and enhance your total quality of life by a comprehensive hormone replacement program!! Not using synthetics but bio-identical hormones!! In the case of awoman it is in the form of acream spread usually around the shoulder for absorption!!
Blood tests are necessary for dosing since eestrogen and progesterone have to be balanced !! It is not that expensive considering the effects that may result from not replacing the normal hormone levels!!
It is the hormones that makes us what we are -in strength, mental acuity , desires, and all around quality of life!!
Most doctors don't touch HRT since they are not properly schooled or keep up with the ongoing research!!! It is easier for them to prescribe some pill from a drug co. -with all its' horrendous side effects -to treat symptoms rather than the source of a condition or problem!!
To get a better idea on this subject search online for anti-aging medicine or to physioage.com!!
I use them as do many others but you have to make your own choice and relevant to where you live -if you pursue this avenue of treatment!!
Women , experiencing bad effects from menopause-some bordering on mental disorders from it- who have gone on the protocol reported normalcy again and want to remain on treatment !! It is worth exloring for all women of menopausal age!!!
