ok, this is not for everyone, but I know there are some here who have been here...and it helps to post it..so here goes...sigh Menopause Monday I am a foreigner in my own land I can hear the natives speaking their voices echo in the pain in my head I waive my arms wildly to get their attention I want to make them quit talking I want to make them understand I want to scream that my body hurts no explanations will make it better it just hurts but they are looking at me with that maybe if we don’t say anything she will be quiet and go away look and I want to put my head in my hands and cry and I wish it was Tuesday instead |

Hmmmmmm, well, Jellybeans, if I don't keep taking my generic Alleve, in about 3 or 4 days I hurt so much and am so stiff I can hardly move. Of course, I haven't tested it lately. If you'd like to know some more I'd like to tell, e-mail me. |

The bare honesty in this piece is wonderful. When you can reach that level, you shine, and you my friend, definitely shine!!!!!!! "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Socrates |

Aw, hon... this one just flat out hurts with a pain of body and spirit. I'll hope that Tuesday is a better one for you... but more than that, I'm wishing weeks full of Sun(ny)days for you! |

I was just wandering in the back pages and your title jumped out and hit me right between the eyes. Menopause, means men you better take a pause before you say something you will regret!!!!!  |
