Going through Menopause?

Have you gone through menopause? or Has your mother or any one in the family gone through menopause? Well, my mum went through that when i was younger and i got the most of her mood swings. I got grounded because i went for my friend's birthday & she needed to work the next day but still insisted on waiting up for me. (it was hardly 12!) besides that, i lived through hell with her that entire year. Now it's my closest friend's mum. Her mum is absolutely terrorizing her & she calls me all day and cries her eyeballs out. Her mum calls her all day complaining that my friend's dad is having an affair when all he does is golf. Something that happens every other week and it's already part of their family life's routine. Her mum goes to the extreme to pick quarrels and forces her husband to sign divorce papers (but giving him an empty envelope). Even the housekeeper can't stand her & they have already changed 3 housekeepers in a span of 10 months. How long does one menopause? if my memory didnt' fail me, my mum was a terror for a year odd. Is there some way to stop all these drastic moods? It's unpredictable and it's frustrating not only to the lady but to her family as well.

Hi there The mood swings is due to the hormones being scrambled. This is greatly due to the menopause phase. The best way to treat this is by getting the hormones to the correct level again and the best product I found to work for this can be found on: http://www.sti.za.net/hormones.html This will definitely make life easier for everyone and even help her to get her life back. Good luck.

Women...and their families...don't have to suffer through the mood swings and other difficulties associated with menopause anymore. Your friend's mom should see her doctor and let the doctor prescribe something to help with the symptoms. If she's not interested in hormone replacement treatment by the doctor there are many holistic...natural...things that she can try. I guess I've gone through menopause. I had some problems with mood swings for awhile and I used herbal supplements and soy products instead of going to the doctor. Good luck to your friend!
