Thanks Valerie,

I will definitely check into this. Not all women have debiliating menopause, but my family doesn't typically go into it until their late 50's/60's so being thrown into it in my 40's is hard. My sister I found out today had the same experience as I'm having. It was the worst part of her entire experience. I was back to work almost FT 18 days post double mastectomy and menopause is now causing me to stop being functional and to reduce my hours now?

This soon shall pass .... over and over again!
