I AM PAST MENOPAUSE BUT THOSE HOT FLASHES WERE AWFUL! I hope you never get them. Some women don't. This depression has gotten me down bad this year. I think I haven't fully adjusted to retirement and being home with my husband who retired 3 years ago can get on your nerves. I know I need INVOLVEMENT but in what. I know what you mean about no interest. It's awful to have to push yourself to get up. But, I think about my grand kids....they are a blessing. Make me smile. But when they grow up...........see, I am already worrying about them not wanting to be around Grandma! Ugh!

Hang in there. Sorry about the health problems. I'm getting more each day but nothing serious yet.
