It's kinda funny that you're more tearful now, though. For me, it's just the opposite. I used to cry at anything and everything, but as my estrogen levels plummeted, so did my urges to cry. Because of some other medical issues, the doc put me on estrogen recently, and lo and behold! Commercials make me cry again.<br /><br />Anyhow, to answer your question, yes, it's possible to experience a stray hot flash or other symptom years after you thought you were done with all that mess. Sorry. <br /><br />Love that video!Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-74021936454662824032012-10-10T14:00:34.964-04:002012-10-10T14:00:34.964-04:00I haven't gone through mentalpause.

I went through terrible insomnia (runs in my family) and warm flashes and fits of munchies, but I have some times now, years later, that I swear I have had hints of it again, too. I have heard that it can take some women a decade or more to go through menopause, so I doubt you are the first to have it come back in a wave. I know what you mean about not having insurance or money to go to the doctor, too. I tough out everything. ;) Hang in there!! :) Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-62073498769533217812012-10-10T12:22:01.410-04:002012-10-10T12:22:01.410-04:00I can't help you, but you are not alone!!

The ship docked near a beautiful lagoon so the passengers could go swimming in the ocean. We were in a snack bar, in our swimsuits & my hair was soaking wet & plastered to my head. Next to us was a man with his two small children who were wondering out loud if the water was too cold to swim in. The father suggested to his kids that they ask me, because it was obvious that I had just been the ocean. I HADN'T GONE IN YET!! I don't know if I was having a hot flash or if it was the weather--or a combination of both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-33178172651911279892012-10-10T10:52:08.812-04:002012-10-10T10:52:08.812-04:00Let me know if you get an answer...Let me know if you get an answer...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896718673192738974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-59895435754051072212012-10-10T10:24:26.125-04:002012-10-10T10:24:26.125-04:00mentalpause schmentalpausementalpause schmentalpauseJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-57499760150943338682012-10-10T10:07:59.575-04:002012-10-10T10:07:59.575-04:00I don't know how to tell you to make it all be...I don't know how to tell you to make it all better, but keep ranting here...hopefully that will help a little, and I never tire of what you have to say.<br />Oh Boogers!

I tell ya, there is something to be said about anger management, I like to manage it right on somebody's head, preferably my principal, ghetto parents or useless co-workers. Hey, if you ever want to vent, call me. I vent 24/7 and my husband is a little tired of it (actually he might be checking himself into a mental institution pretty soon). We should have a bitchfest and invite everybody else who has something to bitch about. Can't help you with the mental pause yet, haven't had it, but when I do get it, my husband should be sooooo happy. Hopefully he won't use any of the guns we have on me.....<br /><br />Love ya girl, you're super funny. Come out to the desert, there's no feaking palm tree spanish moss or alligators. We do have ant hills though, big, fiery , ant hills, but we eat them for breakfast. That's life in the Mojave. :) Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322892477027654637noreply@blogger.com
