March 18

It is a dirty little word that no one talks about...Menopause.

I am at that magical age and guess what it is no fun.  Put me in a room full of people who are sucking all the air out of said room and I'll break into a sweat that resembles a shower.  I've gained weight.  I look at food and it goes to my stomach.  I'm exhausted. (well I was probably that before.)  Anyway, you get my drift.

I have no female relatives to ask.  Right now this sweating thing is getting embarrassing.  Went to the doctor last month and he says, "So how's the sweating.  Getting better?"  I scream no.  He smiles and keeps writing.  See part of the problem is when your mother dies at an extremely young age of breast cancer.  And specialist noted that her cancer was estrogen based, doctors tell you that they can't put you on any hormones.  You have to do this natural.  I understood natural childbirth, but natural menopause.  Who does this??????

Since I really would of liked to be a rockstar this quote fits. "Rock and menopause do not mix. It is not good, it sucks and every day I fight it to the death, or, at the very least, not let it take me over."   Stevie Nicks

So until that day when this passes. I will Rock On!!!!!!
