What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Enter the body of a woman about to turn 50 and you’ll want to run to the nearest refrigerator – it’s hot in there! The waves of hot flashes started at 42 but they come and go and go and come with no rhyme or reason. Couple that with a head cold and it’s own brand of fever and wheezing and coughing and it is a recipe for no sleep whatsoever.
All in all its the lack of sleep that does you in. Edgy, impatient, forgetful – it’s why they say menopausal women are crazy – they get no real sleep!
But what the hell does sleep matter – I can still go out and enjoy my hula hoop on the bayou on little to no sleep. What is menopause all about anyway? Does it do anything productive for the body, for the mind, it seems to me they would have found a cure for this particular ailment.
I’ve heard that women’s issues weren’t researched or explored because it was men doing all the research and women’s problems weren’t high on their list. If that is the case, how can all these men live with all these nutball women who haven’t had any sleep – seems to me women would be the first priority of research. Oh but wait, that’s right, women are usually traded in for younger women who regulate their temperature more efficiently.
