You are amazing I am so glad I have discovered you. You are bringing me out of the dark miserable black hole I’ve been in for too long. I suffered for years with PMT I refuse to suffer again with menopause, I’m going to smack it in the face lol and learn to love me whatever, know it’s a phase and to work with my beautiful body and treat it as a friend not my enemy. Good luck to everyone in the same boat sending love peace and light ❤️❤️

I find its more of a mental thing also. I am very anxious and sweaty and I don’t even want to sleep in the same bed because its too hot. It can ruin your marriage and it might. It sucks but, I have zero desire to be touched by a man or woman. Yeah just leave me alone sounds so good.

It's a great advice again and you explain very well. I'm 49 years and my husband is very understanding whenever I refuse to make love sometimes. But we enjoy using Felina lubricant for dryness and it makes us satisfied. Prayers and acceptance is very important to fight stress,anxiety and depression during menopause stage. Thank you so much Eileen for continue sharing your knowledge to enlighten and comfort to all menopause women.😊😇

I'm so thankful to be single at this time in my life. I have lost all desire and I LOVE it! I feel less distracted and feel I can focus on other passions of mine. It feels like MY TIME. It feels liberating and powerful. When a man approaches me I love thinking.....that I am unattainable, haha. No thanks....Mister.....had enough of relationships and sex was often draining and something I felt I had to do. This is the 3rd time I missed a period in 2 years and it feels so GOOD when my periods are gone. I'm so excited to get my LAST one forever.

As a Man I was never educated about this. My Wife literally turned into another person right in front of me. She was never actually a sexual person. Today she is like a total stranger to me and she left in Feb this year. This pain is horrible to deal with especially missing my Family together. She has zero desire for intimacy and the rejection over the years had me looking outside of our covenant. That made things even more worse than ever. At this point MY PEACE of mind is more important than a relationship if things stay this way it's impossible to be with her. Our babies are the only true casualties to the court system she put me in even with me still being there for her every way possible. I exhausted with every option I have tried and it's still the same zero effort from her. I guess it took me 10yrs to notice she was kind of always in her own world but now it's a dictatorship.

I've been married to my wife over 38 years, she has been going through menopause for the last 5 years, our sex life has depreciated to almost zero, it's sometimes weeks, if not months where we have no sexual contact. I've tried talking to her about our sexual situation, but she gets all hyped up into a frenzy, and becomes very aggressive, so much that she basically flies off the handle, then she shuts down, and refuses to talk to me for sometimes days at a time. Now, we are at a point that we basically live together, but have actually lost our once binding closeness that we once had. I'm overwhelming frustrated, and have no solutions. I've suggested even going together for marriage counseling, or even talking together to her gynecologist, that really makes her lose it. So, what to do? Does anyone out there have any kind of advice, that could bring back the woman that I love?

My periods are getting irregular, but currently still able to have some sort of sex life. I’ve been through the gamut of emotions over the past 10 years, and now I’m less labile. Is vaginal atrophy, and loss of moisture a for sure thing?

Hi Maria, falling oestrogen levels during the menopause can affect mood and libido and energy level. Try to look after yourself, with plenty of relaxation as the menopause can be very demanding However, ask the doctor to test for low thyroid, low iron, low Vit D or Low Vit B 12. In the meantime, check my web pages for more information on energy and libido.
