Sorry Bev, no idea what the S word is although my window cleaner thinks otherwise! lol Daisy

Jacky think you may have hit a nail on the head here my hubby too was reading this over my shoulder, and as some members know, i have not had a good time of it lately. i am now wondering (seriously) if this could be part of the prob, especially the weepy bit. and as for Sex, well forget it. could i really be starting the menopause??? Bev

Me too! only 44 and wasnt expecting any off the seven dwarves to come visiting for about another 5 years. Joan.:(

Excellent Jacky. Spot on! Hubby read it over my shoulder nodding constantly! Daisy (only 43 and so not fair!)

YES that's exactly it! Jo.

Hi Jacky, That's soooo funny! Not quiet there yet, but it's on the horizon - can still relate. Debbie

The Seven Dwarfs of Menopause arrived at my door without warning: Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful and Psycho . One by one they crept into my own private cottage in the woods and started to take over my life. The first to arrive was Itchy. I developed this itch on my right calf that was so irritating, I wanted to scratch the skin right off my body. Then Bitchy came to my door. No longer was my PMS contained to one or two days a month--it felt like constant PMS. Then I would swing from Bitchy to Weepy for God's sake, what was wrong with me? Ding-dong...... It's the middle of the night and Sweaty has crawled into bed with me. Oh, yes, Sweaty brought embarrassing hot flashes and introduced me to night sweats where it seemed as if a faucet had been attached between my breast. Of course Sweaty brought about Sleepy, because I was tired all the time. I would wake up so many times in the night and not be able to get back to sleep. Bloated crept in slowly, my once-svelte figure got thick through the middle section, even though I was following my weight-loss program that had worked so well for so many years! I can't quite remember when Forgetful arrived, but one day my brain stopped working. I considered myself a pretty focused woman until Forgetful came, and I could not keep a coherent thought in my brain. Am I getting Alzheimer's? I wondered. Last, Psycho slowly encroached upon my happy marriage. This was probably the most unpleasant of the dwarf family. Sex was no longer on the top of my list... or on my list at all. My husband would give me that knowing look, and I would think, "Frankly, I'd rather have a smoothie. The Seven Dwarfs of Menopause! - What a family...
