By Lisa Weinstein<\/p>\n

\"menopause<\/a>Each morning before leaving the house, I used to check the weather channel to find out if I should wear a coat. But these days it truly doesn\u2019t matter what the thermostat says\u2026.I won\u2019t wear one anyway.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/em><\/p>\n

Because I am always hot.<\/p>\n

The car thermostat could read 32 degrees and I\u2019ll be turning the air conditioner full blast onto my sweltering face while my poor husband Bob, in the driver\u2019s seat, quickly succumbs to hypothermia.<\/p>\n

Yes, I have entered into the stage of life called \u201cThe Change\u201d, also known as (cue the twilight zone music) MENOPAUSE!<\/p>\n

Yes, menopause, where you finally get to say goodbye to your monthly \u201cfriend\u201d. Except in my case, my \u201cfriend\u201d didn\u2019t want to exit my life as instantly as it had arrived.<\/p>\n

Flashback to the 70s\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n

There I was, a gawky 12-year old cursed with huge glasses, braces, and a well-endowed body that had \u201cblossomed\u201d much faster that my flat chested friends. I woke up one morning, visited the bathroom as usual, looked down and behold, I had made a new \u201cfriend\u201d.<\/p>\n

My status in life had instantly changed.<\/p>\n

I had become a woman.<\/p>\n

And every 28 days for nearly four decades (with the exception of my pregnancy), the cramping, bloating, and heavy flow never ceased to remind<\/em> me that I had become a woman.<\/p>\n

Unlike its entrance into my life, the departure of my monthly \u201cfriend\u201d did not happen overnight. My first inkling that \u201cThe Change\u201d had begun to wreak havoc on my innocent body came when my \u201cfriend\u201d failed to visit after 28 days.<\/p>\n

Another week passed, still no sign of my \u201cfriend\u201d.<\/p>\n

Two more weeks\u2026no \u201cfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Five weeks!<\/p>\n

The time had come to tell Bob that even though we had successfully raised a teenage daughter, we might have to prepare to do it all again.<\/p>\n

Six weeks!<\/p>\n

The time had come to pee onto a tiny stick, wait three minutes and solemnly stare at a negative result that told me, in no uncertain terms, I was not with child\u2026.I was just getting old.<\/p>\n

My \u201cfriend\u201d finally came back a few days later, and misinterpreting my angst for affection, it decided to come back again<\/em> after only 21 days.<\/p>\n

And so it went.<\/p>\n

21 days.
\n73 days.
\n22 days.
\n36 days.
\n94 days.<\/p>\n

I just never knew when my darn \u201cfriend\u201d would decide to show up again. I wanted to end the relationship, I really, really did. There were no regrets. We had a good run. Yet every time I thought the door had closed forever, my stupid \u201cfriend\u201d would show up once again, begging for forgiveness.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I also learned that the word \u201cchange\u201d was not simply metaphorical.<\/p>\n

I wondered why clothes that I had comfortably worn for years had suddenly started to shrink. Surely there must be a problem with the dryer, came my delusional rationale.<\/p>\n

I wondered why in response to the normal antics of my husband, daughter, family, friends, and co-workers I suddenly transformed into the raging hulk.<\/p>\n

I wondered why the rings I had worn since my engagement suddenly cut off the circulation in my fingers.<\/p>\n

I wondered why in the middle of a meeting at work, I experienced a sensation of heat that radiated outward from the deepest depths of my body. A sensation so intense that I didn\u2019t care about the consequences of running screaming from the conference room, throwing off my clothes, and hiding inside the office refrigerator for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

I wondered why Bob didn\u2019t smother me with a pillow after enduring the covers being pulled off and on and off and on and off and on from 11 pm to 6 am, just about every<\/em> night.<\/p>\n

To be fair, not everything about menopause is all bad. The good news is I\u2019m not going through it alone. I have my older sister and a close knit group of friends who can empathize. Together we laugh, we cry, and we attempt to tame our inner hulk as we navigate the seas of  \u201cThe Change\u201d.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, think of the money I\u2019ll be saving by no longer having to buy feminine protection products\u2026.or a winter coat!!!<\/p>\n
