Maniacally Menopausal

Well, I had my follow-up visit with the OB-GYN doctor today to go over my blood work results. He said I'm fully into menopause. Not pre-. Not peri-. Not entering. Fully, as in full-blown-and-raging-all-out menopause.

I was a little surprised, a little sad (?), but mostly just relieved to know that no, I am NOT crazy, my hot flashes really HAVE increased exponentially in a very short time, and that some of the other crazy-hormonal stuff I've been pretty sure I was going through really does seem to be actually attributable to hormones gone wild.

I guess the real word I'm looking for is "validated." I feel validated. I'm NOT a crazy psycho bitch; I'm just maniacally menopausal!

I start hormone therapy tomorrow. Yay.
