What do you dread? It’s a funny word when you say it out loud. The dictionary defines dread as; to fear greatly, to feel extreme reluctance to meet or face, to be apprehensive or fearful.

Unfortunately many women approach menopause with a feeling of dread. “Let’s just get it over with” can be the attitude. What they may not realize is - this can be a ten to fifteen year process. That can be a long time to just endure. In fact, it doesn’t work. You’ll probably end up discouraged because you think you can go on feeling miserable and that you’ll pick up a better quality of life after the challenges that menopause presents. The truth is every day is precious. Life’s too short to waste even a moment!

If you’re a believer in everything for a reason…its’ a lot easier to seize the day than to dread the day and just survive. Granted, it takes effort and some real attitude adjustment, but in the long run, the quality of life is worth it. Menopause is going to occur in your life to some degree. While some women breeze through, that’s not the norm. Most women experience enough physical and emotional changes to disrupt their lives.

So, what can you do about the “dreaded” dread?

You must change your thinking. Perimenopause and menopause can be the very factors that force us to “clean up our act” with how we eat and treat our bodies. Most women agree that you can cheat the system well into your thirties. Once you enter your forties and beyond, eating poorly, not exercising and overindulgence in any arena have a price.  You pay big time in how you feel and how your body reacts.  I used to counsel as a volunteer in a youth retreat. If you’ve ever done this you know teens don’t sleep! In my thirties, I could bounce back in a day or two. Once I hit my forties…it took weeks to recover for a weekend without sleep.  Can you relate with a similar experience in your life?

In menopause, our bodies also get our attention when it comes to life choices and relationships.  Situations you’ve put up with - personal or professionally – now become intolerable. You reach a tipping point and decide to make changes. That’s not a coincidence.

So the answer is you don’t have to live in dread of the big “M”. It’s up to you. And, remember, Remifemin is here to help you choose the quality of your journey.

Michele is a real person experiencing menopause just like you. Feel free to email her at michele@remifemin.com if you have a question, a story to share…or you just need to vent to someone who understands!

I need help. , Sunday, March 15, 2009

"I got on your site this morning. I am in desperate need of help. I feel like I am going crazy. My mother never went through this. I am having a hard time. Depression, not sleeping, mood swings, hot flashes. I hope this site can give me information to help me and maybe even give me some support. My financial problems aren't helping any at this time either. Thank your for listening."

"Hi Libby!
Wow, I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad. I do want you to explore this website because you will see that there are some things you can be doing. Take Remifemin...up to 80mg a day. That's four regular Remi's or two regular and one Remifemin Good Night. Remifemin Good Night has the added Restful Sleep Blend.
You have to give it 8-12 weeks, and then you have to keep taking it.
Take a deep breath. Get a hold of your thinking. Start some positive thoughts when it comes to your self talk. What are you doing to be really good to yourself? Feel free to say no to a few things to lighten your schedule. Yes, times are hard, but we take it one day at a time.Take time to exercise, make a point of eating healthy. Every woman goes through some form of menopause...and we're still here!
Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor and discuss your fears and what you are feeling. Talk to a friend. Explore our website. Do some journaling about your feelings. Visit my blog at www.michelesmemos.blogspot.com and leave some thoughts.
You are not alone...lots of good tips here, and some words of encouragement. Hang in there...be very good to yourself and take your Remifemin. We care about your journey through menopause.

It's not always easy, but you will get through it. Keep in touch!"

We're more alike than you think.
All of us ladies entering or in full blown menopause have a lot in common. Apart from all the “science”, and what we know on an intellectual level of what is happening to us, there’s the stark reality of living day to day with the changes that menopause brings.
Help the men in your life "get it" when it comes to hot flashes
There were some very interesting letters to Dear Abby lately that you will enjoy if you are a lady in menopause and feel the men in your life “just don’t get it!”
Menopause can spark intense emotions, some positive, some negative. One of the problems that come along with menopause for many women is intensity in emotions. Sometimes that emotion can be anger….or feeling plain old mad.
