Menopausing

I am covering my personal menopause journey over on my Heidi Rae Coaching Blog.

If you didn't know, I'm menopausing. 

Here's a little update, if you care...

If you don't, leave now!

There's a LOT more detail... like a LOTTTTT more detail over on the other blog.

Proceed with caution over there!

I believe I started menopausing a couple of months ago.

It was the hot flashes that caused me to do some research, realize I had a problem, call my doctor, and get on HRT.

I thought I was dying I wanted to die!

I've only ever heard of hot flashes in a comical manner.

They are not comical.

They are horrific.

I was having them constantly, throughout the day and night.

I also had vaginal dryness and pain.

I called my doctor, who I love!

I've now been on HRT for almost two weeks... two weeks tomorrow.

I cannot remember a time when I've been so grateful for modern medicine... and I've been on a lot of modern medicine.

I am on an estrogen patch.

I switch it out on Fridays and Tuesdays.

I have only had three hot flashes in the last 13 days.

PRAISE!!!!!!

The other symptoms of my menopausing are also significantly better.

I am grateful to be a woman.

I am grateful to have given birth four times to amazing boys.

I am grateful for my hysterectomy 14 years ago.

I am grateful that my body is doing what it should be doing.

I am immensely grateful for hormone replacement therapy!!!!
