While the menopause has brought unpleasant symptoms for many of us, there are several health issues I am very grateful to have said goodbye to. I no longer suffer from migraine headaches, eczema symptoms are triggered only by extreme cold weather and joy of joy no PMT.

I think I tried to find a positive before and failed miserably. I would still rather have the PMT and skin allergies (which have mostly gone when off HRT) to the hot sweats and everything else menopausal. I'll give it another go though and come back with my findings!!

I can see how the relief from migraines would be a huge positive though.

Positives - no more near constant bleeding, no more constant pain, less headaches.

However, there would be heaps of negatives if I wasn't on HRT. So not sure how positive I could really be. Not really enjoying the aging process with all its aches & pains. I look at my 33 year old daughter in envy, so much more energy etc. Everyone is different.

Can't get pregnant, no more periods, sex anytime without worrying about bleeding!
I have started getting migraines!!

[honeybun]

Nope, tried really hard to think of something positive but could think of nothing at all.
I could give you a very long list of negatives though.

Well, my journey into menopause only began this year, so I don't know what lies ahead. But, so far I've only had two periods - one heavy and one so light it hardly registered. I'm either in remission, or I've managed to combat hot flushes and night sweats by using starflower oil and evening primrose.
So, I would have to say that the lack of painful periods is a definite positive and I'm combating the recent weight gain on the 5:2 fasting regime which I started a few weeks ago - as well as slowly losing the weight, it's making me feel full vibrant energy.
So far, so good!

The lack of periods is brilliant, I don't miss them at all.
