It's not even my time of the month or even close........ oh yeah to make matters worse I tried to post this yesterday and the second I hit submit the server went down....and yes I cried.......... is it the change....please help!

Probably. But to be sure you should go see your doctor and have a physical. They can do some basic blood work to see where your estrogen levels are. According to my doctor I'm in pre-menopause which can last up to 10 years. Lucky me. But I do get emotional and tempermental.

OMG.....Jo_ann I sure hope I'm not like this for ten years....I will lose my whole family....at least my kids are older and can move out if they want...but my partner...OMG I feel so sorry for her....she had a historectomy so she is 2 years younger than I am and has already been thru her change and done! Now the poor thing has to deal with this....I think I will just go live in a cave till it's over ....I have an appointment next week.....sombody better give me durgs of I'm gonna have a breakdown
Thank you Jo_ann

I can totally relate, and hopefully your doctor will listen. I've been having the irrational mood swings, hot flashes, crazy cycles for about a year now. I'm 40! My regular doctor said ' you're too young" My ob/gyn did do blood work and an ultrasound at least, but nothing was really out of whack. She did tell me pre-menopause can start this early and last that long!

Good luck! You are not alone. PM me if you need a " crazy" friend.

PS--i see that you are in AZ--me too!

If this is pre-menopause, I gonna hate when actual menopause hits. The claws come out far to often now. LOL

Hi Jackie,
You are not crazy and you aren't alone. I am 43 and have been going through it now for three years. I had a partial hysterectomy at 40 and just a few months later I was back at the doctor because no one could deal with me. My mom was 38 when she started menopause so I knew it would be early for me also. The doctor put me on medicine but I couldn't take it so I have learned to deal with it. I'm not sure if everyone else has learned yet.LOL.
The best thing to do is get checked out by your doctor. It will get better!
