Ladies.....If you asked me several years ago. i would have told you menapause only happens to older women. You ask me now. I would say... HI, im 26 years old I have 3 beatiful kids by the "GRACE OF GOD" I have a wonderful devoted husband, and I suffer from menapause.. Heres a brief journey, When I woke up on beautiful morning when i was 15 years old I woke up in a bed full of blood, Instead of saying, oh im a young women now. I cried for my mom, because I bleed so much and cramped up so bad. I never had a normal period since the first time I started my period. It always last a long duration of days 7-10 days to be exact... I will always end up in the ER each month because I lost so much blood....."skipping up a few years" -- after numerous of tests I was finally diagnose with severe ENDOMETERIOSIS. This was after my "3rd child was born", doctors are still amazed how i was able to even have kids. They must not kow the GOD I know...It was during a diagnosis surgery when they told me the best thing to remedy it all was to have a Hystrectomy. I prayed about this decision hard. How was a young woman was going to cope with surgical menapause. I remembering GOD speaking to me saying "HAVE I FAILED YOU YET , HAVENT I BLESS YOU WITH CHILDREN DOCTORS SAID YOU COULDNT HAVE" . I had a Total Hystrectomy when I was 24, im know 26. My ovaries wasn't functioning properly at all so i had to have them taken out.
On a Positive Note, Its been all most 2 years. And im starting to feel like a breath of New life. Im on Estrogen and Progestrone. I use to have a hard time with the sex thing. But Ladies i invested in a good Vibrator and some good lubrication. ME and My husband is jumping for joy.. To be honest my sex life is better now than before. When im fatigue i listen to my body and rest. I still have occasional hot falshes, but nothing severe. Ladies, when i started to take control of my own body, thats when I started to heal within and physically. I end you with "Menapause doesn't discriminate it just pick the right women to bare it". LOL
