Then a couple of days later the same thing happened. I said, “That’s it! I know what’s happening with me!” Ay, ay, ay! I started to also feel heart palpitations. Very scary! I thought the palpitations were due to stress but it is one of the symptoms. (And not to mention the irritability bouts.) Man, and I thought it was just PMS! I have been classified as a bitch lately. Not true! I’m innocent! It’s not me! It’s those darn hormones!
Well, so far I have about a handful or more of the 35 symptoms of menopause. Since I am not forty yet it is classified as Pre-Mature Menopause.
I made up my mind to write about it. And truthfully, I shed tears. Crying episodes out of nowhere, besides being another symptom of menopause, (okay, make it two handful of symptoms). I don’t know if I cried because I am facing a natural stage of my womanhood or because I am happy that soon I won’t have any more of the menses, or because I wish that my mother was still alive so that I can talk to someone about it.
To conclude the first part of this story, I would like to invite you to come back and look out for a few more parts as I will be researching and discussing the stages of menopause, natural therapies, helpful websites, resources, and more. I am not an MD but I am an Alternative Medicine major student and I am fascinated about health and natural healing which is the main culprit to my story. I will make suggestions as I have in common with every woman the changes of womanhood and ready to face and embrace it.
I think that menopause is a subject that probably a lot of women don’t feel comfortable talking about but to me it is all natural and normal and don’t feel reluctant to speak or write about it and hoping that the transitional change will be smooth and comfortable despite the facts.
Hope that the few parts to this story will be helpful to many of the readers and members of DivineCaroline.
