Yes, this has been my feeling about this site. I am not the only one coming to terms with the changes that come with menopause. And to know that it's not all negative is important. Because menopause has routinely been associated with negatives, like the end of childbareing, the end of young womanhood & sexual attractivenss..... And yes there is the thing I too noticed about smelling more (but I've addressed that by using an antibacterial soap). But, there are good things too, like the ending of childbareing (no more contraception & menstruation issues) & that was all hogwash about about then ending of my sexual attractiveness! My man still thinks I am sexy & I still notice other men noticeing me. My sex drive has increased not decreased & the problem I had with orgasims can be treated with estrogen cream..... So what ever the issues we face as woman at this stage of our lives, I believe there will be the good bits & the more challenging bits, not unlike other ages & stages really. I'm doing my best now to make the most of this one. When I have a bad day I now know just to ride it out because life is always changing & there will always be another good day too. Take care all of you woman none of us is alone in this!
