That's a humorous question. I like it.\nI suppose those around you when you're going through it will have an opinion!\nSeriously, hormones have a funny way of scrambling emotions when you're going through any major biological change. But it's OK. Just warn those you care about when you're having one of THOSE days, and things will work out.\nTake care and learn all about it. Buttercup

WHAT IS PERIMENOPAUSE?\n\nPerimenopause, or pre-menopause is a transitional stage of two to ten years before complete cessation of the menstrual period. Its average duration is six years, and can appear in women from 35 to 50 years of age. This has not been a stage of women's lives much talked about, and a woman can find herself experiencing puzzling changes, and not know why. What is actually going on is a gradual decrease of estrogen. The manifestations of perimenopause can vary. Here are some of the most commonly reported ones:\n\nHOME\n \n\nSIGNS OF PERIMENOPAUSE\n\nThe following are symptoms women have reported.

Not with your age.Menopause represents the end of menstruation, and you are still so young to think of it. I still think that it is good to check with the doctor from the begining to have a normal period.\nIrregular period might indicate a future problem, and the best thing is to check it out from the begining.

I am 43 years old, and I used to lose at least 1 day a month from work because of sever PMS... Not to mention, I made my whole family's life a living HELL!  Not only was I suffering from PMS, but I am also pre-menopausal as well!  Hot flashes, you name it!  I was introduced to an all natural wellness system by a friend of mine, and since I have been using it, the PMS and Hot Flashes are COMPLETELY GONE!\n\nContact me for more information\n\nTina Hodges\nVisaluslhp@yahoo.com

Hot flashes are symptomatic of hormonal changes.   There is NO reason for you to suffer from them.  Talk to friends who have a good family or gyn who will give you supplement replacement hormones for a short time.\n\nNo one person reacts the same to menopause.  Some women even experience cold flashes.  Hey, did you know men can experience a male form of menopause?

Menopause is different for every woman. It depends on several things whether you go through an early one; family history, if you have had any female surgery (hysterectomy, ovarian cysts, etc.), if you are on medication that interfers with your hormones.\n\nYou should have a complete physical, with blood work, urine, etc. to see if there are any other problems.  Hot flashes could be also due to a thyroid condition, adrenal glad dysfunction, too much caffiene, etc., etc.

I am with lady bug! When you pass menopause you do loose many of your sexual tools. Get checked out and ask your Dr. about hormone cream for that problem!

"Studying people who live 100 years and more leads Harvard researchers to conclude that menopause is a major determinant of the life spans of both women and men.\n\nWomen's life span depends on the balance of two forces, according to Thomas Perls, a geriatrician at Harvard Medical School. One is the evolutionary drive to pass on her genes, the other is the need to stay healthy enough to rear as many children as possible. "Menopause draws the line between the two," Perls says. It protects older women from the risks of bearing children late in life, and lets them live long enough to take care of their children and grandchildren."\n\nRead more at the source link.

If it is truly menopause then unfortunately yes. Menopause starts when the body stops producing eggs and the hormones to support pregnancy. At least that is what I understand it to be. I would go to a dr. immediately and see. If it hasn't truly started yet there may still be a chance. Perhaps even freezing any remaining eggs or embryo if you are already married and know who you want to have a child with but it will be costly.

During menopause some women do experience the psychotic mood swings...lol. Its not a laughing matter but men seem to think it is. Hormones play a huge role in causing the moodiness depressive episodes, etc.  Your sister needs to be seen by a gynocologist to be placed on hormone replacement therapy(hormone pills). I went through menopause at age 25 due to having a hysterectomy I wasn't a pleasent person to be around but with replacement hormones I am much better now. gl

the way I understand it, it's just like hitting puberty.  It will come when it comes - keep in touch with your doctor.  You could also be starting to show some signs that you are not considering signs of menopause, and have not discussed with him/her.  It's great not having the periods. be patient - it can be rough at times.

Cocoa butter is great for your skin, regardless of age. Multivitamins are a must! LOTS of water! (sometimes women will experience an outbreak of acne..water keeps your skin subtle and glowing) Yoga is good for menopausal symptoms..(yoga has been shown to balance the endocrine system, some experts believe it may affect hormone-related problems. Studies have found that yoga can reduce stress, improve mood, boost a sluggish metabolism, and slow the heart rate. Specific yoga positions deal with particular problems, such as hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal and urinary problems, and other pains)..Regular exercise...Remember just because you are going through menopause does not mean that you have one foot in the grave, it's just a natural change in life just like going through puberty! And just like puberty there are bound to be "growing pains", you just have to figure out what will work best for you and your symptoms.. plus u get to enter the red hat society!!!

The major symptoms of menopause are:\n\n    * missed periods\n    * sleep disturbances\n    * hot flashes\n    * vaginal dryness\n    * changes in mood\n    * lack of sex drive\n\nEach of these symptoms are a result of hormonal changes. Hot flashes are caused by an increase of blood flow in the blood vessels of the face, neck, chest and back. Vaginal dryness is caused by thinning of the tissues of the vaginal wall, are the two side effects most frequently complained about. The mood changes and lack of sex drive may result partially from the hormone decrease, but may also result from having to deal with hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

While the average age of menopause is around 50, every woman's body has its own unique timeline. Some women stop menstruating in their mid-40s, and others continue well into their mid-50s.

I have been reading this book called Menopause Without Medicine, \nwanted to share something with you that I read today.\n\nIf you have emotional distress, what are the chances that you are \nmissing a vital vitamin or mineral in your diet? Check whether any of \nthe symptoms listed below are familiar to you:\n\n- Vitamin B-1(thiamine): loss of appetite, depression, irritability,\n  memory loss, sensitivity to noise, inability to concentrate, \n  fatigue, reduced attention span.\n\n- Vitamin B-3 (niacin): insomnia, nervousness, confusion, depression,\n  hallucination, loss of memory\n\n- Vitamin B-6: anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia\n\n- Pantothenic acid: depression, inability to tolerate stress\n\n- Vitamin B-12 (cobalamine): difficulty concentrating and remembering,\n  stuporous depression, severe agitation, hallucinations, manic\n  behavior\n\n- Folic acid: irritabiity, weakness, apathy, hostility, anemia\n\n- Vitamin C: increased stress and fatigue\n\n_ Vitamin E: depression, lethargy\n\n- Potassium: nervousness, irritability, mental disorientation\n\n- Magnesium: paranoid psychosis\n\n- Calcium: anxiety, neurosis, fatigue, insomnia, tension\n\n- Zinc: anemia, poor mental function\n\n- Iron: depression, lethargy, poor concentration, irritability,\n  decreased attention span, personality changes\n\n- Essential fatty acid: anxiety, irritability, insomnia\n\nThe chemical makeup of the brain requires an ample and constant \nsupply of essential nutrients. Vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, \nand enyzymes are all interrelated, each dependent on the others for \nabsorption and utilization; moreover, a shortage of one vital element \ncan render all the others less effective. That is why nutritionists \nurge people to eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods.\n\nI do know from past research and personal experience that if you are \nnot taking a good multi-vitamin along with a mineral supplement it is \nmore difficult to get your hormones balanced and keep them there...\n\n\nNeed more info?\nE-mail me!\nBlessings~\nMichelle Jones
