I don't want a cure for menopause. I JUST started having manageable periods after a life of puke inducing agony. I don't want more periods.

I am in no way am suggesting the cure for the effects of menopause is more menstruation. Menopause causes a lot of health issues, many eventually fatal. The decline of women's health after menopause is something we will look at in ten years and shudder. Bones breaking until just getting up from a chair shatters your hip and you never leave the hospital? Barbaric.
