Pre-Menopause Blues

“What the hell is happening to me?” I thought staring at a tired, pimple faced reflection of myself wiping tears from a gray reflection of what used to be me. I stumbled back to bed feeling ugly. The alarm clock illuminating a red 1:35AM reminding me of my need to sleep.

Welcome to my world of pre-menopausal blues. I didn't know whether to feel blessed or cursed being born a female? I felt cheated; after 32 years of cramps, bloating and a steady week of pre-post bitchiness that was at times a welcome constant in my life. I should have just kissed it happily goodbye and sent it on it's way; why wasn't I happy about coming to this new stage of my life?

I've always been a bit of a drama queen; known for my overly emotional responses to just about everything so it was easy for me to hide my severe mood swings. I was pretty good limiting my crying fits to my drive home from work but it was hard to hide other things happening. A lack of sleep was getting the better of me. I looked tired, had pimples, felt fat and that steady week of bitchiness was increasingly growing for no reason. Something had to give, I was driving people out of my life.

I went to my doctor for help and left with nothing more than a confirmation of my “pre-menopause”. I've never been a person to take drugs unless it was obsoletely necessary but I needed help fast and sleep. I came across an All Natural Health and Beauty site and found something called Menozac. The ingredients were simple and all natural which I liked. They offered a 90 day guarantee and gave me 3 bottles free just for buying one so I took a chance and tried it, I had nothing to lose. It's been 3 months since I started taking Menozac, I am so happy that I took a chance, I'm now able to sleep and look and feel like myself again.
