  Being 52, I realize how important it is to be healthy. Right now, all I’m trying to do is lose a few pounds and bring my A1c down. But since I’ve cut out some of the sugar, my hot flashes have become a little more bearable. I also started taking Amberen and it seems to help a lot. I was on Estroven for months and it really didn’t do much. I’m so thankful I switched! It seems like so much is…

Menopause and Breast Cancer in America

Having gone through a “scare” this past year with four mammograms, three of which were diagnostic, I am a huge proponent of getting a mammogram and early detection.

I wanted to share with you this infographic from the Sleep Pink initiative from the makers of Estroven that sheds some light on the correlation between menopause and breast cancer.

I know I'm behind on emails and getting to others' blogs and I apologize. I'll totally catch up over the weekend. But i feel the need to blog and since I have nothing better to do right now and I'm just not in the mood to write, I figure I'd do it now!

This is going to be more of an update type blog than anything.

There's been quite a few changes in me and my life lately. Don't worry, nothing dramatic. I'm still with Dustin (13 months now!), still working at Offutt, still writing "Teach Me" (now titled "Avocado Pet") and still dealing with Cellulitis. No cancer update as I currently don't know if I'm cancer free or not. Sorry. Will find that out tomorrow.

So, on to the changes!

I sleep with a stuffed animal. It's a stuffed tye-dyed kitten i got from Walmart some time ago. Sleeping with Krissy, I've found, helps me not to itch and scratch overnight. It keeps my hands occupied. I've been doing this for a few weeks now and honestly, it helps!

I take Estroven Nighttime. Yeah, I know Estroven is for pre-menopausal or menopausal women and no, that's not me, but I've gotta say this stuff ROCKS! It's helped keep me cool at night. I no longer feel nearly as hot or overheated, which is a huge relief. I've been on it for 11 days now and I can definitely tell it's made a difference! Well, a minor difference. I still don't have a blanket on my bed and I still sleep in a tank top and boxer shorts. Anything else leaves me feeling too hot, which yes, I know is not normal--especially in winter.

I'm taking more time for me to do what I like. I'm spending a lot less time online and more time reading, writing by hand, watching TV or just thinking. I've been doing a lot of thinking.
