Who knows what the female menopause is all about?

my doctor said no to my blood test, as i was to young to go through the menopause, and 18 months later no periods flushes weight gain i hate it and i am 48 now, the blood test my GP said wasn't always right, i would say your wife has all the symptoms i had and it is the menopause, you don't say how old your wife is?
