Welcome to my blog about the messy business of healing, menopause, raising kids, caring for elderly parents, and all the other curve balls life throws at us.

Today is for all my Gen X girlies who have found themselves in a parallel universe with hot flashes radiating from the core of hell, mood swings that could give the devil himself whiplash, and a seething rage that comes flying out of your mouth with no warning whatsoever. If this sounds like you, welcome my little hormonal badies.

What pisses me off the most is…you go to the Dr expecting help and you’re met with HRT (that may or may not help) and antidepressants. I do not want a medication that’s going to alter the chemistry of my brain. Why are we not looking at more natural/holistic ways to help our bodies? My OBGYN was not willing to help me with more holistic forms of healing. I’m guessing her schooling did not include education on minerals, herbs, and vitamins that can help our bodies without side effects. She was; however, very interested in HRT and antidepressants. Hmmmm….

Why is menopause such a hard condition to treat? Women have been going through this stage of life for hundreds of years. Have we not figured it out yet??? I guarantee if men had to go through this, there would be a dozen medications (if not more) and possibly a cure.
