Sorry Guys...Menopause and swimming performance

I am experiencing a very uncomfortable feminine transition, which has sent me reeling with migraines, fatigue and muscle aches. The treatment I've been given (low dose progestin) prevents the headaches and improved my energy level, but these days when I race, I feel more like a pack-a-day smoker than Hercules, which is killing my motivation to compete. I'm wondering if any of you have had (are having) similar experiences and how you're handling it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences :)

  • Better not disappear from Masters Swimming!!! I aspire to swim equally as fast and you are my barometer. Hope to see you at LCM Nationals in Mission Viejo. I'm not sure if you're talking to me or to Leslie, but if you're using me as a barometer, you're in a whole lot of trouble. I've been Ms. Inconsistency when it comes to my breaststroke...I will definitely be going to MV - I love swimming outdoors in the warm sunshine and I've talked my husband into competing, too.
