Menopause Belly
I have been feeling the heaviest in my life round my belly. Thought it was all due to bloating from The tamoxifen but turns out it’s a menopause thing!

I wish you a more settled life!
Take careSign in to react to this post - Brenda5MemberLast sentences on Kiwi Angels link - If you end up with not enough estrogen for your body to be happy, don’t worry. Your doctor will help you get back to your optimal body balance, so you can get on with your life.
Menopause is bad enough. Surviving breast cancer is a huge achievement. What if in years to come it is discovered my chemo has shortened my lifespan? Studies have shown it could be as much as 30% less.
Taking hormones to eliminate estrogen for 5 to 10 years for me was too insurmountable. I lasted almost 3 years but not any more. I want to get on with my life.Sign in to react to this post - SisterMemberThat's what we had a couple of weeks ago. Hubby is pumping up the last of our rainwater now. We'll have to buy it in.Sign in to react to this post
- AfraserMemberPshaw! Lots of thunder and about 2 teaspoonfuls of rain!Sign in to react to this post
- arpieMemberTotally agree, @Zoffiel - our weight may not change, but the shape definitely does. Mine ripples now, too! ;)
That's a bugger, @Blossom1961 - sounds like you have it sorted tho! Your Coconut Milk, chocolate, cinnamon drinks sounds positively decadent! YUM!
I got stuck in a nasty storm last weekend & thunder was going on (expecting lightening but didn't see any!) and it is NEVER a good idea to be out in one. We automatically hide under trees (normally) and of course, those are the first things that are hit (being the tallest!) Fishing rods can be blown apart, if the lightening hits them! I remember once, lying on a beach when a big electrical storm hit (so I wasn't the tallest thing on the beach!!)
We've had a bit of rain, but still need more. That nice 'rain smell' - gotta love it!Sign in to react to this post - Kiwi_AngelMember@Zoffiel hope u stayed in bed and didn’t get electrocuted!!Sign in to react to this post
