Menopause and Low Libido

It can be very debilitating to say the least, coping with the onslaught of menopause and all the trials and tribulations that come with it. Sometimes gradually but oftentimes suddenly, like overnight, it's like 'what the hell happened to me, what's going on here!!'. Not funny, not easy and to say it's a challenge is an understatement of epic proportion.
Unless and until you have experienced menopause and it's negative symptoms, then you could not possibly know or be able to relate on any level. Just like a man could never imagine what it's like to be pregnant - 'nuff said! Anyway, back to menopause and the many symptoms that can come with it. Low libido is one just symptom and it's serious and can have huge impact, not just on us as individual women, but on our relationships with our husband or loved one as well.
They (the menfolk) don't see any physical change overnight (but they sure as hell know 'that look') that says 'don't even think about it' when he's feeling frisky and you're like 'not happening buddy'! It's almost like the faucet has been turned off... one minute you're 'normal' and have your moments of 'being in the mood and just plain right up for it' with your hubby...
Next thing you know and it's nothing, nada, zip, squiddly, absolutely zilch! No warning at all, nothing to tell you this is coming and all of a sudden you feel nothing from the waist down - not to mention no feelings of 'even wanting' to get fruity with your loved one. What's even worse is, you don't know how long this is going to go on for, it's frightening and it can be a nightmare. Your hubby's being patient and doing his best (bless him) to try and say the right things, but you know he's desperate (for some intimacy with you) and just don't feel a thing in that department.
Take heart girlfriend, there 'are' things you can take (natural) and certain paths you can follow to alleviate the symptoms of menopause and indeed fix 'the problem'. Millions of women around the world are not relying on themselves to get through this phase (for however long it might take); they've had enough and seek out something that will work for them personally. Just know that you are 'not' alone, there are many many women suffering just like you and bottom line is, you don't have to - it's just like dieting on some level, you have to make the decision to 'do something about it'. As the Nike ad says, 'just do it' - for yourself (and your husband!)
