Many women notice night sweats in their late 40s. Some women experience it earlier, some later. But most of the night sweats started when a women suddenly wakes up in the middle of the nights and notice even though the air conditioner is on, she’d still be covered in sweat. This and along other symptoms, mark the beginning of the menopause. Many women write that this sudden change make them feel old. They were still young women, and the noticeble menopause symptoms mark the beginning of a changing life.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Think about the freedom of not having periods for the rest of your life! No more birth controls. Menopause is actually the half way mark in the women’s life. Other than the fact that you no longer can bear children, you still have years ahead of you. Most of today’s women will live 25 to 30 years, a third of their lives, post menopause.
