Late July

The Herbal HRT has helped with temper and mood, thank goodness! I wanted to give it a few weeks to work, and then look back honestly. Honestly? It helped. Or maybe it is a placebo, but I do know that I do now have less of a temper than I did, and I get hold of my emotions easier. My boss is happier with me, that's for sure!

I have smaller headaches, but more often I take a couple Motrin, and carry on, knowing that my descent into Menopause could be so much worse.

Laying on my stomach now feels like the area below my naval has a thick paperback there - it still feels like someone else's stomach. My hips and knees are sore almost all the time. I am just on Actoplus Met now (good thing, because my new insurance upped the cost to a $30 co-pay!) And I cut the tablets in half, and take smaller, sustained dosages every few hours. When I behave myself with eating, it works...usually.

My Aunt has suggested I try the "blood type diet". I crave junk now - often. I am honestly trying to switch from candy to sunflower seeds - something I picked up on my trip out West. We shall see.....
