I went through menopause fairly early, in my late forties. I've been 'over it' for years now and don't miss my periods a bit. During the change, I had hot flashes but not the night sweats, and my, er, libido went WAY up. For a while there, I think I knew what it was like to be a man and not able to ever stop thinking about IT. My husband was thrilled. smile

Now, things have settled down a bit. (DH NOT as thrilled..) My heating/cooling facilities are completely whack and I have to pluck a few hairs, but other than that, I feel great. As for the waistline, four pregnancies blew that to bits already, so....
