some of you are more familiar with the symptoms of menopause than others.

so, educate the rest of us who are here to learn, since yall are the experts on menopause.

I have never said I know anything about menopause, but since some nlers have long been in contact with it, share your knowledge.

smh for some commenters above.

Mom hasn't gotten there yet, but its approaching, I think

I remember one night, at about 11pm, she told me to come and pray for her, that she was feeling very serious hotness in her tummy and it felt like some part of it was being tied. She even attributed it to Enemies. shocked

At first, I pretended to take her seriously, but when she started saying stuffs like: "Nobody can kill me, My Hands are clean"
shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

For Dear Mother Life!!, I didn't know I could still pray like I did. (Thank God for my days in NCCF). After a while, she told me to go and sleep, that she's was okay.

Sleep ke? I was doing vigilante all through the night, I'd even go to her room and be like: "Ma' you okay?"

undecided undecided Later the next day, after going to see a doctor, she was told its part of menopausal signs.


The Relief Was So Evident On Me

^ aunty, discuss the topic, not a person.


thanks, stay on track, dont let your personal issues get the better of you.

menopause is something every woman goes through if God allows. If you are a woman, discuss it here instead of throwing stones.

discussing it will not chase away your nl suitors, admirers and butt kissers.

if it will then maybe you should have avoided the thread.

if you know nothing about it and did not observe it in your mama, then say so.

My mum's menopause was terrible. Infact,I can't share the story cos it will bring back hurtful memories. Thank God she survived it and she is back to normal.
Re: How Did Your Mum Handle Her Menopause? Please Share. by flyca: 12:27am On Aug 14, 2014
Funny. Lemme share mine.... Not my mum directly though....

We had one neighbor back in the days, she was never married and very advanced in age (even though she never admits). She was also a lecturer and was staying with her young nephews. So my mum was somehow her confidant.

When we were younger, she will call my mum to attend to her "strange" ailment. My mum in turn comes back to tell us that she doesn't understand her kind of sickness and she has refused to go to hospital, she said she takes drugs but never shows her what drugs. The thing really lingered o, no be small. Hehe. From vomiting, to weakness, to fatigue, to sprain, to headache, bodyache, dizziness and the rest. Mind you at that time, my mum didn't know it was menopause o. She was just playing an adult role around and ailing neighbour. Lol. The woman in turn didn't tell her because she was a civil servant that had falsified her age to about 10years younger. Hehe

Ok. Years later, my mum's own started, and that when when she thought back and realised our then-neighbor was on menopause. By then too she had known how to handle herself better.

Today, my mum has been retired for a few years, the woman is still a "youngie" lecturer cheesy. That's the end of my story. #Tans

Aunty OP, can we hear your own story? Or are you the one on menopause? Are you getting really close? Spill it out, lets hear...

ma'am i'm not an expert on the subject, i opened the thread because nlers seem obsessed with the subject of menstruation and menopause.

i read up on it occasionally, however, others seem more familiar with the topic.

Look like a damned if you do and damned if you dont situation- its a problem if you do menstruate likewise its a problem if you dont menstruate.

misogyny and some misguided females trying to score a hit with some awry males.

The main symptom is hot flashes. Keep yourself cool with cold water, fan, airconditioner, open your windows etc
