Hang in there, Debbi and Gina. A few days ago I came across the discussion here where someone posted a link to power-surge.com (for menopause and perimenopause) and since then I've become fascinated by the message boards there. I almost want to laugh while crying when I read post after post detailing symptoms I've been silently struggling with for years. Like you, Debbi, I tend to get on the internet and scare myself with information of various diseases. From now on, I'm going to go to those boards first, because just about everything I go through is listed there and I know I'm not alone, I don't have to be afraid, and this will eventually pass.
I'm so sorry your husbands aren't supporting you through this time, but there is support for you in other places (like here). I guess it's easy for men who don't have to go through such hormonal torment to think it's all in our minds.
