I'm post menopausal and with no symptoms or blood test levels, I had a few heavy periods and just stopped!. A few whiskers but so few they are pluck-able!. We all differ!. My sister had a hysterectomy at a young age and had all symptoms!. Here are her symptoms first then mine

1!. go bald!.!.no!.!.no mom did though in her 80s
2!. stink!.!.no!.!.no!.!.It's caused by bladder leaks and poor hygiene
3!. get fat!.!.uh yes, uh yes - That's middle age for everybody-also hereditary
4!. grow a beard- few whiskers!.!.few whiskers
5!. hot & sweaty at night!.!.she sweat like a dog all the time!.!.none for me at all-I've never perspired!. Degree is good though!.
6!. become violent haha we were like that all our lives- get some anti-depressants
7!. lose sex-drive!.!.her yes!.!.me heck no!.!.it's the man's fault for getting lazy and selfish! Of course we don't look so hot anymore!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I was one of the lucky ones who breezed thru it!. I did get the hot flashes mostly at night but the odd daytime one as well!. The only other thing on your list is afterward I grow the odd hairs on the chin but nothing that could be called a beard and nothing a little Nair or some tweezers can't take care of!. I think it helps if you go into it with a good attitude!. It's not the end of the world and all women go thru it!. You don't lose your sex drive!. If anything it gets better because you don't have to worry about any accidental pregnancies!. And you don't have to worry about that once a month stuff that always comes at the wrong time!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Symptoms
Although some women have few or no menopause symptoms, most women do!. Similarly, while some women have mild symptoms, others find that their sleep, daily life, and sense of well-being are severely affected!. Menopause symptoms eventually subside when hormone levels even out!. Postmenopause changes are normal signs of low estrogen and typically continue over time!.

Signs and symptoms of perimenopause
Signs that you are in perimenopause include:

Irregular menstrual periods!.
Less frequent, light menstrual periods!.
Heavier menstrual periods than you are used to having!.

Symptoms of menopause

Symptoms related to menopause are caused by changing or dropping hormone levels and usually end 1 or 2 years after menopause!. Some women continue to have symptoms for 5 or more years afterward!. Menopause symptoms include:

Hot flashes!.

Sleep disturbances (insomnia)!.

Emotional changes, such as mood swings or irritability!.

A change in sexual interest or response!.

Problems with concentration and memory that are linked to sleep loss and fluctuating hormones (not a permanent sign of aging)!.

Headaches!.

Rapid, irregular heartbeats (heart palpitations)!.

Generalized itching!.

Menopause caused by surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy can cause more severe symptoms than usual!.6 Preexisting conditions such as depression, anxiety, sleep problems, or irritability can get worse during the perimenopausal transition!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I still have my hair (post surgical- menopausal 3 years, total hysterectomy at age 39)
Yeah I have BO, but degree works wonders
get fat I actually lost weight
Go a beard, nope
Hot and sweaty at night, no cold yes hot no
become violent, I had a few outbursts, but learned to control them
Lose sex drive, at 1st yeah, but after about 6 months nope, more so because no chance of babies :)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Be very, very careful!.!.!.!.You may be in grave danger!.Sometimes menopausal women even go on wild killing rampages and have been known to savagely beat men upside the head for asking stupid, innane questions in the soap section instead of the medical one!.
Of course theres always estrogen replacement, heh heh!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

my mother's dealing with this now!. she does get night sweats sometimes, and she's also very irritable!.

(i wish she were losing her sex drive!. it's so!.!.!.awkward!.!.!.)

*twitches*

anyway, things don't seem too bad, but she's really just starting!. i hope things go well for your friend!. i think if she keeps showering then she won't stink!. gaining a little weight is natural for middle aged people!. i don't think she'll lose her hair either!. at least, not until she's older, but that happens to a lot of people!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

1!. go bald
2!. stink
3!. get fat
4!. grow a beard
5!. hot & sweaty at night
6!. become violent
7!. lose sex-drive
8!. Assume a lot of menopausal women watch soaps
9!. Pretend to be a (terrified) friendWww@Enter-QA@Com

Yeah, it's all true, every single bit of it!.!.!. And I've heard that watching too many soaps can actually cause early menopause, so I'm working my way there!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am very far from that stage, but even I know that you get hot flashes at the most random moments and you don't have a period anymore!. The only way any of those happen when you reach menopause is with #1 you have cancer or your family genes consist of going bald!. #2 is something I think is really ridiculous and can only happen if you don't bathe!. #3 is only gonna happen if you become stressed out for the fact that you have menopause!. #4 makes me laugh for the simple fact that if you aren't growing a beard right now then you won't when menopause hits!. #5 can happen I ain't gonna lie, but it's not gonna happen constantly!. #6 will only happen because if she truly believes that's gonna happen!. and #7 won't happen unless you and only you become disinterested in sex not because of menopause!. I know a lot of people who have talked to me about menopause and they are all fine just they don't like their personal summers when they get hot flashes and start sweating out of nowhere!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
