😹😹 Mum’s Dad was 68 when she was born...

It appears that my first brush with hot flashes wasn’t menopausal at all. It had more to do with anxiety. I wasn’t given a blood test at the time - that came with the second round. LOL. Or at least that’s the speculation since I had none of the other fun stuff that joined the hot flashes this time round. It makes sense though - the “hot flashes” only came when I was under extreme stress/anxiety and I’m now told that it could have been a trigger. The timing didn’t fit with family history either. No woman on my mother’s side has hit menopause in their 40’s, with some holding out into their 60’s, including my own Mum. Since I hadn’t had a period since I was 32, that angle simply wasn’t there to help figure it out. I didn’t actually discuss it with my doctor, either, until I started getting hot flashes again, and this time with a vengeance! First time out, I could almost tell you in advance when they were coming. They mostly came as I was preparing to leave for work...  And the weight  gain/body shape change has only begun recently. I think I hate it the most!!

You never responded regarding the eyeglasses and lanterns. Would they be helpful to you? Honestly, I rarely use the lanterns any more and I’ve got scads of eyeglasses. I wish I could offer you some flying time, but it’s what I get only rarely from collections. The lightning is also out of stock.
