Now that doctors are saying hot flashes are good for women our age I can't complain about them....well...maybe just a little bit....
and I would love to be able to tell her, Yep, I just quit having periods. It's all over now.

For me, menopause started with the first chemo. I felt it a blessing not to have to deal with the monthly stuff. I also couldn't tell the symptoms from the side effects.:) My oncologist would have had a fit but I actually took a razer to my face because there was sooo much hair. Luckily it mostly disappeared after. There are still always a couple to annoy me though. I asked for a really good pair of tweezers for Christmas and my daughter gave me Tweezerman. Oh Yeah!

I have a 'Tweezie', a little hand held device that you just run over your face. When it comes to one of those chunky chin hairs, it sounds like it hits a tree stump. It pulls that sucker out and you are good to go for about a week. I call them 'Witch Hairs", like you can go to bed and nothing there, next morning it is 2" long. Go figure. Eyebrows are lighter, not much hair on legs and underarms. Ahhh the joys of growing older, but Im still greatful for every new day. It's a gift to us from God.

I am 7 years younger than my sister-------------I shave------ - - Hair is growing on my chin, my neck, around my boobs, BUT - on the good side, I no longer have hair in my armpits, leg hair is almost all gone and I am losing hair on the top of my head. What the heck is going on??? My sister does NOT have those problems. $#@!
