Middle Age LIfe Mood
Friday, June 6, 2008 | A General Update story

Kiss

Things are going well and I am feeling good. Someone recently made a comment on how well I seemed over the last year. Right now I have choices to make...continue on the path of weight gain and potentially hinder my health or stop taking HRT and anxiety meds and hinder my emotional health. My husband said I'm really crazy if I think going off the meds is really a choice. So, I participate in one of my favorite passtimes...shopping...for new larger sized clothes!

Journal Entry for January 23, 2008 Mood

Cool

I am doing very well. The gyn lowered my dosage of hormones. I get minor hot flashes now, but certainly nothing I can't live with. I do find that my anxiety level is a bit higher than it was, too. Again, nothing I can't live with.

I was talking with a co-worker. His wife has been suffering from severe headaches for months. She's been through all kinds of tests and they can't find a thing. She's even been in the hospital. This week she went to a new doc and they now think it might be hormone related. She is in her upper 40's and they think it may be related to peri=menopause. Yet another thing it screws up!

Hope everyone is doing well.

I have to remember to keep in touch!

It's been a couple of days since I started the anti-depression/anxiety drug. It makes me feel drowsy, but not enough to sleep. Doc says it will take a couple of weeks for it to kick in.

Went to my gyn today and we decided to add hormones. I am desperate for anything. The thought of going back to work makes me anxious. I hope these things kick in soon!

I do feel better because the gyn confirmed that I am NOT losing my mind and that everyone goes through menopause differently. For some women, there is no impact at all. Lucky them! I did feel a bit better having her confirm what I already knew. But right now, logic is NOT part of who I am.
