Dziewczyny, wklejam w następnych wpisach listę '34 oznak Menopauzy',
w jezyku angielskim - może wkrótce znajdę czas by ją przetłumaczyć
(a może któraś z Was?), a na razie polecam słownik:

Here is the list of: "The 34 Signs of Menopause:"
1. Hot flashes, flushes, night sweats and/or cold flashes, clammy
feeling (related to increased activity in the autonomic /
sympathetic nervous system). Without becoming too, technical,
messages are sent to the hypothalmus because of declining estrogen
production via neurons which result in vasodilation
2. Bouts of rapid heartbeat (related to increased activity in the
autonomic / sympathetic nervous system) "Heart pain" - a feeling of
pain in the area of the heart (if persistent, get checked by your
health care practitioner) Note: Along with rapid heartbeat
(palpitations), women can experience skipped heartbeats, irregular
heartbeats. These are generally normal vasomotor responses
experienced during menopause - usually due to fluctuating hormone
levels. However, if these problems continue, it's always a good idea
to be checked by your health care practitioner. An echocardiogram is
a common procedure to tell the doctor what he needs to know about
your heart. If your health care practitioner doesn't suggest it, ASK
FOR IT!
3. Irritability. Internal shaking / tremor-like feelings. Note:
Along with irritability, a host of "anger" problems can develop
during menopause. Just as a perimenopausal woman can find herself
suddenly crying for no apparent reason or provocation, so can she
find herself reacting to given situations in an angrier manner than
she normally does. This anger can sometimes feel like "rage." Again,
this is hormone-induced, but for some women, the anger can become
inappropriate and a woman can feel like she's out of control.
There's nothing wrong with seeking counselling to discuss these
issues with a mental health professional. This is a challenging time
of life and some objective outside help can be tremendously useful
in helping a woman cope with all the emotions she's feeling.
Remember, menopause isn't simply physical changes, but emotional and
spiritual changes as well.
4. Mood swings, sudden tears. Note: Mood swings can include anything
from mood shifts (happy one moment, deprssed the next) to sudden
bouts of crying when nothing overt has occurred to cause the crying.
Mood swings can and have been misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder
because one can feel such extremes of emotions due to hormone
imbalance. Anxiety, depression, panic attacks and even feelings of
agoraphobia aren't uncommon during menopause. The panic attacks
often can develop with the onset of hot flashes. For some women, hot
flashes can be severe and quite frightening.
5. Trouble sleeping through the night (with or without night
sweats). Note: This can develop into insomnia or just waking at 2 in
the morning for an hour. Relaxation and breathing exercises can be
useful at this time
6. Irregular periods: shorter, lighter or heavier periods, flooding,
and phantom periods. Note: A phantom period is when you experience
all the symptoms you're accustomed to having before you menstruate --
but... no period comes. This is a common experience during
perimenopause before a woman's period actually stops.
7. Loss of libido (sex drive). Note: Not every woman loses her
libido entirely during perimenopause, although some may temporarily.
Many women simply have a decreased interest in sex - often it's
simply because they generally don't feel well and sex is the last
thing on their mind! Also, bear in mind that there are many
medications that can affect one's libido, including the anti-
depressants some women take to cope with the depression and anxiety
associated with menopause to anti-hypertensives.
8. Dry vagina (results in painful intercourse)
9. Crashing fatigue. Note: I've never been able to determine if
the "fatigue" associated with perimenopause is a symptom in and of
itself, or if it's a side effect of the cumulative symptoms and
general exhaustion (from them) many women experience. Take all the
symptoms and "dump" them on one person

21. Sudden bouts of bloat. Note: Bloating, water retention are
common complaints during perimenopause. Also, Acid reflux and
heartburn are very common during perimenopause. Treat them as you
would if you weren't going through menopause.
22. Depression (has a quality from other depression, the inability
to cope is overwhelming, there is a feeling of a loss of self.
Natural hormone therapy, ameliorates the depression dramatically).
Note: There are various natural methods of treating depression.
Also, many women using progestins or progesterone supplementation
experience "depression" as a side effect. Power Surge recommends
only naturally compounded, bio-identical hormones. Naturally
compounded estrogen and progesterone supplementation doses can be
individually adjusted to suit each woman's needs. So, if a woman is
experiencing depression from progesterone, the level of progesterone
supplementation can be reduced until the compounding pharmacist
comes up with the right blend. The combination of estrogen and
progesterone is important in achieving the desired results. Other
remedies, such as St. John's Wort can be very effective in
alleviating the depression associated with menopause.
23. Exacerbation of any existing conditions. Note: Often, conditions
women had prior to entering perimenopause become exaggerated (worse)
during the menopause transition.
24. Increase in allergies. Note: Many women who suffer from
allergies develop worse allergies during the menopausal years. Many
women who've never had allergy or respiratory problems may develop
them for the first time. Many people don't realize that histamine
levels are affected by hormone levels. Women can develop wheezing,
coughing and a host of respiratory problems. This generally
disappears as the hormones level out once a woman becomes
menopausal.
25. Weight gain. (is often around the waist and thighs, resulting
in "the disappearing waistline" and changes in body shape.)
26. Hair loss or thinning, head or whole body, increase in facial
hair. Note: There is often a loss of pubic hair during menopause.
Many women are more comfortable simply shaving their pubic area
instead of having patches of hair.
27. Dizziness, light-headedness, episodes of loss of balance. Note:
Although common complaints uring menopause, I always recommend
anyone suffering from dizziness, dysequilibrium have her blood
pressure checked just to be on the safe side. However, women can
experience these symptoms during perimenopause without having
hypertension.
28. Changes in body odor. Note: I wouldn't be too concerned about
this one. It can happen, but in 13 years of running Power Surge,
I've heard of relatively few cases of developing body odor during
menopause.
29. Electric shock sensation under the skin & in the head ("take the
feeling of a rubber band snapping against the skin, multiply it
(exponentially, sometimes) radiate it & put it in the layer of
tissues between skin & muscle & sometimes a precursor to a hot
flash.") Note: Those buzzing sensations, as though you've put your
finger into a live electrical socket, can be frightening. They're
all part of the hormones, nerve endings and electrical waves running
through our bodies when our hormones are constantly fluctuating.
Many women experience this during perimenopause, but it eventually
passes.
30. Tingling in the extremities (can also be a symptom of B-12
deficiency, diabetes, or from an alteration in the flexibility of
blood vessels in the extremities.)
31. Gum problems, increased bleeding.
32. Burning tongue
33. Osteoporosis (after several years)
34. Brittle fingernails, which peel & break easily.

Some of the 34 signs may also be symptoms of one of the following:
• Hypothyroidism
• Diabetes
• Depression with another etiology
• Other medical conditions
If you have reason to believe you may have one of these conditions,
see your healthcare practitioner for treatment.
Note: Remember that although these may be common complaints during
menopause, they might also indicate some other health problem. Be
sure to consult with your personal health care practitioner before
attributing these symptoms to menopause.
