Hi Carmen.  No little blue pills needed around here yet, but the thing may be worn out before this phase passes.  I really can&#39;t remember when this whole menopause thing started, because I had a hysterectomy when I was about 30 so the &quot;physical evidence&quot; of the cycle was gone but I think the peri-menopuase started about 3 years ago (those wonderful hot flashes and mood swings).  That part is gone and now I am just left with the soaring libido part.  I am just wondering how long that lasts - not that I am complaining.   See how much fun we have here late at night - you should come hang out and write songs for us too...
