Hope everyone is doing ok

I have found that gaining a few pounds and eating a bit more liberally ahs helped me balance out so much more than late last year. Doesn't that suck.

I am trying to lose a few pounds and see how my emotional/mental state fares. If I can remain balanced that I will keep trying to lose.

How but you all? Finding tricks to help?

Work I find helps my sore bones from radiation. I am rarely having soreness there anymore. They say work helps osteoporosis so maybe it helps the loss from radiation/menopause too

I didn't even know this forum was here.

So, KR, don't you have some magical premenopausal herbal formula for us "older" moms?

I am working on losing some pounds as well as balancing my emotional state too. I find it a lot harder lately.

Hey, KR....are you a fan of Susan Weed? She lives in my town. I'm hoping to take one of her workshops one of these days. I've seen her around town...she supposedly a bit kooky, but cool.

thats so funny you mention that - at 149-155 i was an emotional mess - my EDs kicked in hardcore. i allowed myself to gain to 159-160 and its like i am a different person. i am happy to stay at 160 if it means maybe my mental state will level out

i have found the testosterone cream doesnt help my sex drive any more, i just makes me really angry. so trying to find some way to at least enjoy sex enough to make my husband happy. does that sound horrible? really i would be happy to never have sex again. i mean i love him, i love being with him. but i have 0 sex drive. dont even think about it until he brings it up. sigh.

Well Wendy, I am truly trying to work that one. There are so mnay studues praising adn condemning the same herbs, that for now nutrition (via herbs and nutrition) soem mom's wort and sea selp are the best I see at this time.

I actually used to moderate over at Susun Weed's forums for several years and stepped down during radiation treatment.
I will have to find you if I ever go out that way.

I am hoping for a Meeshi Road trip sometime adn we'll grab you too

Branwyn, goodness I am so there with you so you totally have allt he support from me in the world.

I miss the juices flowing so much. Sex just changes.
BTW, I LOVE your avatar Branwyn. Your littel squinty face and hair wrap make it so cool!
