[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- You should end this thread now and go do 5 acts of kindness for 5 women in their 50s to offset your questioning of this woman who is clearly suffering. If not, you will suffer a perimenopause unlike no other. You will not sleep a full night for a decade. Your skin will become so dry it feels like pins and needles everywhere. You will alternate between having no period one month with having a gusher the alternating months. You will gain 5lbs a months for a year. You will cry every other day for no reason.

Again, you can stave off this horrible, karmic fate by appeasing the menopausal goddesses with your acts of kindness. [/quote]

Oh get the hell over yourself. My aunt experienced very difficult menopause symptoms, and she would definitely ask for easy considerations such as a window to be open, and she might give one blanket, “I’m sorry; my hot flashes are really difficult today” to explain where she was at an event as necessary context that she might step out to get air, might go to the kitchen to get a cool towel, or what have you. What she WOULDN’T do is give a full-blown, play-by-play, litany of symptoms.

At a gathering or if someone meets up with you, is it fine to give them the context that you’re not in perfect health or comfort that day? Of course. You can’t hide a red face or profuse sweat, after all. But you certainly don’t have to make yourself the freaking centerpiece of the room, yammering on and on about a topic that frankly most of us would rather not explore in great detail over the Thanksgiving table.[/quote]
