More from chapter one of my book: WHATEVER! A Baby Boomer's Journey Into Middle Age
Have the seven dwarfs of menopause come knocking at your door yet? If you're not sure, please allow me to make the introductions. There's Sweaty, Bloated, Forgetful, Bitchy, Itchy, Sleepy and All-Dried up. They don't all show up at once, but you can rest assured they will come in, sometimes unannounced and definitely uninvited and, yes, they will wear out their welcome.
These little menaces to society bring night sweats, headaches, fatigue, forgetfulness, muscle and joint pain, urinary incontinence, heart palpitations, anxiety, depression, yeast infections and vaginal dryness into our lives.
According to my gynecologist, over time we may even start to lose our desire for sex. I don't know how you feel about that, but I surely hope it doesn't happen to me---because I'd hate to think I wasted the best years of my sex life on my ex!
