    • About Me

      Optimistic, fun loving, authentic professional and mom with major depressive disorder. 100+ pounds overweight and until two months ago have never had any other physical illness. But, at 49 it is catching up with me and the idea of hiting 50 and being unhealthy makes me sad. I also want to live a long time, ya know, see my grandkids, etc.

    • Open Menopause

      I am STILL peri-menopause. I am 49, started getting night sweats and hot flashes once every month or so at age 46. Since then, those two delightful symptoms have been getting increasingly more often. Over the last 4 months, greeting by period for about 4 days prior, I can count on being soaked in the night sometime multiple times in the same night. This month they are almost every day - but, I still have a period. My migraines have increased in number as well.

      Treatments

      Black Cohosh Not Working
      night sweats increased in number and intensity.
      Progesterone Cream Working / Worked
      over time I ended up with too much progesterone in my system...
