No Symptoms as of yet

Had a SAH/BSO 2/20/04 and came thru very well, thank you. I am not on any HRT. I do take calcium supplements daily and work out at the gym, do both cardio and weights. I have not experienced night sweats or hot flashes as of yet. I don't sleep well but wouldn't call it insomnia and at times during the day, I feel "warm" but nothing significant. I am 44 and feeling pretty darn good. Am I just one of the lucky ones or will the walls come a tumblin down on me soon?

Hi Jewel,

Could be that you are just 'livin right! That's great news that you are doing so well at 2 months post op. Perhaps your hormone levels had already tapered off prior to your surgery. Or, you are simply one of those women with very mild menopausal symptoms.

I hope you continue to feel good with minimal menopausal symptoms. Keep us posted on how you continue to do, okay? Sending hugs your way.

Hooray for you!!! Hope things will stay so good...

I haven't taken any HRT and doing very well, I do have nightsweats and hot flashes but it seems they aren't as bad as some have talked about. I take a calcium supplement too and it seems the more active I am and the more I walk on my treadmill the better I feel and the less I notice the symtoms. I have also changed my diet to include soy milk and other more healthy choices. I have read that menopause can be controlled by diet and excercise. So maybe there's proof in the pudding.
