Late Sunday Afternoon

Another menopause symptom: chills.

Also, wanting one's husband to stop talking about peanut noodles.

Are the chills coming after the hot flashes? The end of menopause doesn't make husbands any less annoying: I nearly brained mine yesterday for bugging me about when supper would be finished cooking.

But I seem to becoming down with some sinus-headache-fevery thing, so maybe that's why I'm cranky.

The hot flashes have eased up, at least temporarily. I started noticing the "cold flashes" a couple of days ago.

Heh, it's just one of those days -- Mr. N is cheerful, and keeps wanting to TALK ABOUT DINNER, and I'm thinking WILL YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT UP OH GOD.

:D

Sorry. *snickers* My understanding is also that andropause makes them *more* annoying, rather than the reverse.

[pwcorgigirl]

Hehee! That's true!

Are those peanut noodles with hot sauce? It's dinner time here and I didn't prepare anything because I was busy with other matters, but noodles with spicy peanut sauce sound good.

Sorry, I realize that that's probably not what you wanted to hear. Mmm. ;) (Seriously, in re: the symptoms, an older female colleague of mine was advising another that apparently black cohosh helped her enormously. How good that actually is I don't know, but FWIW.)

[nightdog_barks]

No hot sauce, I think. Just spicy. We're doing ... something ... with shrimp for dinner.

Yep, I've heard of people using black cohosh and other stuff. I may end up giving it a try. :-)

I did not know chills were a symptom of menopause. Another thing to look forward to.
You know, if men got menopause, by now we'd have a drug that takes away all symptoms completely.

Apparently some women get them (chills). Menopause seems to be just this huge grab-bag of symptoms -- just about anything debilitating or uncomfortable you can think of can be attributed to The Change.

*sends warming blankets*

Peanut noodles? Are these flavored, or made from peanuts?

(Also: may I subscribe to you from my other journal?)

[nightdog_barks]

They are noodles (in this case, thin spaghetti) made with a spicy sauce based on peanut butter. *g* Something along these lines, although we use smooth peanut butter.

Absolutely!
