I feel like the pharmacists are wizards.<br /><br />Syd- I think of Skink often when I am on the Dog.<br /><br />Elizabeth- I am sure you are right about the culture thing.

I don't think your children would have had a chance at setting you adrift. Thanks for the good words.

I've been on real factory-made-with-pregnant-mare-urine hormones since about 2000 off and on, mostly on. And, every year (Until last year) my PCP sits me down after my annual check up and lectures me on the evils of HRT, and every year until last year I feel guilty and swear to stop. But, last year I talked to my OB/GYN first and she told me that she sees at least twice as many female patients as my PCP does and the risks of HRT are not all that great. And, you know what - I could care less about breast cancer, I go for my mamogram every year, and I wonder why, as I don't even know if I'd bother to treat it if I got it at this point in my life (well, maybe I'd go to a Christian Scientist practitioner and I'd pray about it).<br />Anywho... I'm going to see about antidepressants next week. There must be something out there for me. Maybe I'll give Lexapro another try.<br />Have fun on Dog Island, you're probably already on your way there.Lucy At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681917596152035866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-14801688478686368462011-03-09T15:38:42.062-05:002011-03-09T15:38:42.062-05:00You mustn't dispatch.

Usually am just slightly neurotic, until a real life thing happens and my boat is rocked and it's awful. <br /><br />Have you heard about these hormones from pregnant women's urine-injections that allegedly jump start weight loss? Anyway, hope the hormones help you out!

I've battled with the drugs for my daughter for so many years, hating every step, every inch of it, but what I have learned is that if it works, it's good. If it doesn't work, you know it and you stop it. And then you get up and try it again. As for the menopausal stuff, it'd be interesting to study what ancient cultures really thought about that time (if women ever reached it) -- I imagine that there were some cultures whose take on it was entirely different than ours --Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-4346121037211130212011-03-09T13:21:39.442-05:002011-03-09T13:21:39.442-05:00It sounds like pure heaven to me.

I have never worried about any side effects nor experienced any. I imagine the bio-ones are gentler and, it is to be hoped, just as effective. As for the island, how could it be anything but joy with Jessie Moon there, glowing with love? And please do take that Gerald Durrell book, "My Family and Other Animals." It's one of my favorites and will make you laugh out loud and wish you could go on a picnic with that eccentric, wonderful family. <br /><br />I love you from afar, dear ladybug.Kati Schardlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976452398525277058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-37905184176712124382011-03-09T10:57:06.863-05:002011-03-09T10:57:06.863-05:00I'm hoping with all I've got that Dog Isla...I'm hoping with all I've got that Dog Island is all good for you. I'm sure you will collect moments of beauty and love while you are there.<br />About the hormones, I hope they let you rest. Mine do that for me. I want to stop taking them, but the hot flashes kick my ass when they do. Most of the risk, as my doc explains it, comes from long term use, and she said in my case the risks were far outweighed by the toll hormone depletion was taking on my body. I decided it was worth the sleep, and mine does help, tho it's different stuff than yours, I'm taking estrace cream and progesterone pills. I feel very much like Mother Nature doesn't give a shit about menopausal women. And modern medicine is still trying to figure it all out.<br />Have a lovely time, hope you take some great pictures.
