@nicolewolverton I'm not full menopausal but I'm no longer regular and this happens to me some of the months and I keep thinking this will be an on month and then nothing. It drives me crazy and I spend way too much time going to the bathroom to check out the situation.
@theandreak It's SUPER weird. And kind of unfair, right? I mean, if you're not bleeding, there shouldn't be cramps.
@nicolewolverton Exactly right! I call them my ghost periods because it's got everything except the bleeding.
@theandreak I'm going to be so pissed off if this continues indefinitely. I have enough trouble sleeping w/o the added BS of feeling as though my leg is being twisted off my body.
@nicolewolverton @theandreak been a year or so and now for me and it's easing up, I think? Still definitely got some cyclical stuff going on, but seems mostly hormonal-emotional vs hormonal-crampy/physical. It gets better, says the crone, yeeha, cackle #postmenopause
@iBlame I was just thinking about whether I should get an appointment with a menopause specialist to talk about hormone replacement. When is too early?? I have no idea. I will cry if hot flashes become a regular thing at this stage.
@nicolewolverton Cannot advise, sadly. My ‘pause was surgically induced when I was 45 and happened literally overnight, so I’m not conversant in the natural timeline. But I do know that HRT worked wonders for my mom.
@iBlame @nicolewolverton yeah, and my mom was never able to get off the HRT so I'm going without, thank you very much. It gets better, It's getting better. #postmenopause crone cackle

Hello 
I might be able to help with loads of this! I run menopause support groups called M-brace The Change, and I'm just pondering whether it'd be a good idea to create a Mastodon account to toot info...
Didn't have one on the bird app, but nobody seems to be doing any menopause stuff over here at the mo so maybe it'd be helpful?
@nicolewolverton @spadge13 i would follow and boost such an account. There’s such a dearth of info. Welp, here comes another hot flash, gotta go find a fan!
@iBlame @nicolewolverton well I just tried creating the account but it's proving tricky - maybe it's just too busy right now?
You can find us here for now if you fancy it (really straightforward info and not flipping tons of it to plough through!):
https://m-bracethechange.com/
In the meantime, I'll have another go later 
@spadge13 @nicolewolverton yeah it will be easier after the dust settles
@iBlame @nicolewolverton (that's Helen our Mental Wellness M-brace Specialist BTW, and I have no idea why that pic is the one that's popped up here! )
