If you can start early?!

Soy, black cohash, green tea.....exercise, breathe, know your own body.

These things did not work for me and I had to take medication to "mask" symptoms until I "qualified" for a procedure. If that's what it takes to function; Do It. Have your health background (AKA mothers, grandmothers, aunts...no wonder they called them "crazy"). However, watch what the repercussions can be. Look out for HRT as recently a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer feels that it was a factor in her disease. On the other hand, an annual mammogram (even if you are under 40 but having "menopausal" symptoms) can catch it!

Back in my all female HS in the Midwest (70's), we did have a science teacher who introduced the book "Our bodies; Ourselves" (new edition out through Boston Women's Health Book Collective).............know YOUR self..........

and become your BEST self!

This too shall pass

Not that I'm older/wiser than anyone out there. But my mom took DES so she could "have me" (in her words; she did what the doctor told her too)....pretty sure (I hope) my husband and girls are happy to hear that.

However, when I was 35 and in the "fetal" position on the floor of our closet (not so much my "style" ) I knew I had a problem. Yet; no one (can I say that AGAIN) NO ONE would listen.

Yet (hey girls...HELLO) this can happen to you. NO matter what you do. Soy, CoHash, Yoga....we were born with some things.....and we need toget OVER them.

So; be your own best advocate.

I will do what I can to post links, info, ideas (please share) of what you/we can do together to get over this.....

It happens to EVERYONE in varying degrees; do NOT let anyone tell you what is happening to you is not? happening......

it is, and you WILL get over it and enjoy more life/sex/YOU in the future.

Keep on keepin' on..........and be your own best "cheer" leader.......
YEAH YEAH.......
