Lora, I didn't watch that particular Oprah show, but I did go to the Oprah website (www.Oprah.com) and there's a wealth of info on menopause. I spent only a few minutes looking and didn't see any "warnings" re: athletes and menopause dangers. Maybe you would know better what to look for on the...

RE: Quick Question To All Donna, Once in a while, when I'm going "all-out", I have felt a momentary rush of nausea. But usually, I get lightheaded first. That's my real signal to cool-it. I'm 46, and have always had the problem of my heart rate going too high. The funny thing is, though, I...

Thanks to all for the kind replies. In response to "other" symptoms, yes, I also have had problems with sleepiness (can sleep 12 or more hours a day and have a very hard time awakening and getting going). My appetite is not what I'd call rousing. I think I eat half the time because I'm "supposed...

Hi all, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism just last week. My TSH level was 8, where normal is 0.5 to 5.0. This might explain a lot of strange and uncomfortable physical symptoms that have occurred with increasing frequency over the last few years. The worst of which is slow, slow, slow weight...
