13 Things You Should Never Say To A Menopausal Woman

It's bad enough walking around looking and feeling like you just got out of a spin class -- you know, face flushed, sweat stains on your shirt -- as you go through menopause. It's even worse when you're actually gaining weight, can't get a good night's sleep and are noticing rogue hairs on your chin. 

Yep, for many, menopause sucks. And it takes a champ to make it through. So don't make it any tougher for the women who are living with it every day by making a snide comment.
