Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS and menopause -- anyone else?

I work in an office, where 7 out of 8 women are pre or are going thru menopause. Thank God, we are not all hags the same day!!!!!!!!!!!:) The men look at us like they are afrid, VERY AFRAID, as they think we have lost our minds....... Seriously, it is not any fun at all, feeling old and fat and miserable. We are all up and down, with hormones that make us feel tired, dizzy headed, cloudy headed, sore, emotional, (we all have our bawl baby days). Some of us are getting ready to go thru the empty nest, and do not like their husbands, now that they know they are stuck with them!! My last son moved out before Christmas, and my husband and I are getting along better, actually. No more guitar playing in the middle of the night from the 21 yr. old... I take 1/2 zoloft, for the IBS, but my OBGYN said it was also good for the big change. I don't think that it has really effected by IBS that much, so far, but I'm 49, and have a ways to go. Hang in there with all of us other crazy women. I just get up each morning and start over. What else can you do!?!?!? EAT CHOCOLATE AND SMILE:):):):):):):):):):):)
