“Menopause waits for no woman.” I wrote that in my newest humor book, “Scrambled
Leggs…A Snarky Tale of Hospital Hooey,” (pg 159) all about a way too long
hospital stay. What I found out was that even if you are sick until death…you
can still be plagued by hot flashes, mood swings, migraine headaches, dry
skin and memory loss. When I got very sick I just assumed that I wouldn’t
have menopause symptoms, or at the very least they would seem trivial compared
to my new illness woes. Au contrare. In fact, as I speak I am having a
hot flash, which just reminds me that misery must love company. Yup, every
time I think I can’t get any more miserable from being chronically ill,
a nasty menopause symptom shows up. NewsFlash: The more (IS NOT) the merrier!
If you think you are the only one going
through menopause and a chronic debilitating illness, Oh, and if you are also dealing with menopause and life issues (you know: financial ruin, losing your home, the death of your parents, a diagnosis of cancer, a close friend dying, or your spouse being unfaithful) all that happened the year I got sick too. Does menopause wait for any woman? Not that I know of. But we CAN all band together for a girlfriend laughter binge.

I want you to know, you are not alone. (And yes you probably yearn for
the good old days of JUST hot flashes.) But I’ll tell you a little secret,
sharing the truth with humor about our physical discomfort goes a long
way to healing. Come join me as I ‘romp’ through a hospital journey that
makes ‘Survivor’ look like a picnic. I’d like to see any big He-man be
menopausal and face mortality, misdiagnosis, and MRIs.
