Sparkle - what one do you take, what's the strength?

[babyjane]

as far as I can see all these health issues are menopause related health concerns so in my opinion the original section seemed relevant.  I thought 'other health' was things not related to menopause but I won't profess an opinion as I haven't really been here as long as you other ladies.

I agree, if we believe our health issues are menopause related then surely we should be allowed to post in the menopause section.  Nobody here is able to diagnose our problems as any different.

I think it's better under here to be honest. Maybe if it was called "Meno health complaint of the day" you would get just the meno related ones. By putting it here members can post about any health issue which is making them feel horrible and get some support. For instance CLKD's sore throat - she wouldn't have posted that under "meno health complaint" and none of us would be able to show her some sympathy but under here she can post it.

A lot of our health complaints are not meno related really - it's just that, I reckon, going through all of the meno problems makes even the smaller unrelated to meno niggles feel so much harder to deal with and it's good to have a place to share for those that want to.

You may have a point Taz....but...and it's a big but 

Do we actually need a member to tick us off like naughty children.....go and speak to teacher and have it changed.

Emma has been on the forum whilst this topic was where it was and hadn't done anything.

Is it really that important, people got the point and we were all quite happy.

Why does another member...who is not a moderator,get to judge others. It's bound to ruffle more than my feathers to be honest. It gives the forum, for maybe the older members an uneasy feeling.
Not carefree but under the control of an other member.
I'm not comfortable with it at all.
Thought I should also say I have had communications from quite a few members who are as concerned as I am ....so it's not just me who doesn't like this.
I have asked the question of Emma...but...no reply as yet.

I just wish we could go back to what we were.

A group of supportive women....no one bossing us around....who saw each other through hard times......oh and didn't stress where topics were.

Hey ho....things move on and perhaps not in a good way.

No doubt I will get my knuckles wrapped or worse but I think I have a valid point.

Could be wrong though.

My health complaint of the day is that...my period started. Actually, I was looking forward to it, hoping it would give me some relief from itchy, sore boobs, palpitations, insomnina and bloating. And it kind of did. But before it started today I was going crazy. Annoying sleepless night. Then less itchy and less swollen boobs this morning. Half way through the day my face got very flushed, my boobs itched like CRAZY and I had cramps = voilá period arrived. Is that "normal", i.e. all these flushes and other odd symtoms at the onset of your period?

[Unhinged]

Don't have any doubts Honeybun, your point is completely valid. Like I said earlier, I was shocked that any member should be able to speak to another like that, I am only new here, but that doesn't mean my opinion or entitlement to equal membership is any less than someone who has been on here for years, all members are equal, BUT even if I had been on here since the start of the forum, I would never try to dictate to other members, especially in that condescending school-mam-ish manner - NO member has the right to do that.

I really thought it was supposed to be like you said; a group of supportive women trying to help each other out without being bossed about. Does indeed feel like being back at school. Such a shame, it all feels sour now, and I had experienced such comfort from this forum. I suppose it may help to remember it's only one member, out of the many of us, who has behaved this way.

Thanks again for all your help ladies, particularly Honeybun, Sparkle, CLKD, Babyjane, and some new members joining the same time as me like Sadlynda. I am off to Scotland for a bit so hopefully by the time I get back it will all be sorted and hunky-dory again!

Love, Unhinged x

Enjoy your holiday and I want to hear how much you have enjoyed it.

Don't let this episode put you off...please.

[Unhinged]

Thanks Honeybun, I'll try not to let it put me off, and this new comfort I've found here when before there wasn't any, has come to mean a lot.

If I haven't been thrown off this forum for daring to speak out (ha ha) then I promise I will let you know how much I loved the Highlands when I get back!

Unhinged x

[honeybun]

Please do....I really would like to hear of your Scottish adventures. You may be lucky with the weather too.....check that midge forecast though or your health complaint will be


MIDGE BITES.

Ha ha ha, yes - Fort William is at nuisance level 4 still, though forecast to come to 3 over the weekend. I will buy one of those net hat things if necessary, even if I do look like a mad bee-keeper!

Thanks again HB x

[Limpy]

Ooh Unhinged - don't mock the midge whatever you do.
You'll need repellent at the very least, oh and some sort of sting relief.
Good luck.

[Unhinged]

Oh gawd! Thanks Limpy, you've got me worried now! I got some Skin So Soft stuff by Avon which is supposedly a good repellent, I didn't think of sting relief though - oops more shopping x

[CLKD]

Thanks for asking - my throat was sore all of yesterday but after breakfast today, it felt better.  Maybe I slept with gob wide open    and Taz is correct: I wouldn't have considered it related to meno 

Today I woke early anxious with the upheaval here    ……. I hate watching Forums implode.

[honeybun]

We do sell it up here 

Don't think we are imploding quite yet CLKD.
