Never Feeling Better
Why do women need a nasty sounding name for getting older...menopause? Why does it have the word "men" in there? Do men have a name for when they get older...no I don't think so. If a man went in to their doctor and said, "Gee Doc, I am tired all the time, my hair is thinning, I sweat when I sleep, I am gaining weight, and I am not at all interested in sex." His doctor would commit him. We as women can't catch a break. Just as soon as we start to accept ourselves for what we are, we get the dreaded menopause. We should rename menopause to Never Feeling Better. So if you visited your doctor with the above symptons he wouldn't say, "You are in the stages of menopause". He or she would say, "You are in the stages of never feeling better". Thank you very much!

You are so right! If one more physician tells me I am paramenopausal I am going to beat him. Don't you think if men experienced what we do during this time, some male scientist would have already come up with a cure and have won the Nobel Prize for it? I hate being this age and I hate all the physical changes. You are not alone.
ReplyDeleteUh...hmmmm. Modern medicine has not figured out how to make all happy by curing PMS, but they have figured out how to keep a man erect for three hours by taking a little blue pill! I think I would rather go through "men" opause...that's a long pause from desiring a man than have to deal with the one taking a little blue pill. I am happy to be a woman!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy to be a woman? DEFINATELY! But do NOT like night sweats!
