Hot flashes are God’s way of preparing you for hell!
Sorry I haven’t been writing much lately, I guess I’ve been struck with a serious case of “if you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all.”
I’ve been totally distracted with my continuing nightmare of a foot infection that will not DIE! I’ve now seen or consulted with seven medical doctors, none of whom have been the least bit helpful. I figure it must be time to turn to alternatively trained professionals like naturopaths and dieticians, etc.
If you read my post from March 31st you know I cut out my estrogen patch a few weeks ago because I suspected that that could be the culprit. No such luck! If anything my foot problems have gotten worse since I gave up my patch.
One thing IS for sure, my attitude has gone to hell without my regular estrogen fix! After just a couple weeks without it I cry too easily, but worse I want to KILL ALMOST EVERYONE I meet! I’ve decided to call it KILL-People-itis! I drive down the street just hoping someone will get in my way so I can mow them down! Take away my estrogen and I become a very scary person! I am reminded of the post “MURDER AND MENOPAUSE” I ran last year…read it, it’s a hoot!
My brain also feels like Swiss cheese. I cannot remember anything, like why I’m writing this blog!!! I move constantly from one room to another forgetting why I even went there in the first place. I’ve been watching lots of movies like I did after my brain injury. That way if I forget something it doesn’t really matter. I can always rewind!
Oh if we could only rewind our lives and try to figure out why we’ve done all the ridiculous and stupid things we seem to remember in midlife! How was I ever as silly as I was at age 20? But menopause conveniently helps us forget everything at once.
I’ll tell you one thing! Now that I’m convinced that my foot problem is not estrogen related, I’m slapping on a new patch right now….

Ha, Ha, you haven’t lost your sense of humor
As always, Laura Lee you make me realize how much simpler my life is. When I hit the male menopause, I just returned my prostate and got the deposit back.
Just started the estrogen fix and I must say…..what a difference a little pill can make!!!! Keep the blog coming, it helps me realize I’m not in the midlife, “change of life” alone!
Laura,
OMG can I ever relate to the attitude changes.
Never fear I have more estrogen!!!! There are days I think I want to do an IV drip or maybe even drink it for best results. I’ve tried the cream, makes a great facial moisturizer. So I’m getting my estrogen and a face cream for the price of one, even Wal-Mart can’t top that one. If you run out and need a quick fix call me. We menopause manics have to watch each others back.
Thanks for your support!
I’m feeling just a tiny bit better today and that is important because this is my BIRTHDAY!!!
The Queen turns 54 today!!!

Love it! I’m not alone! I tell everybody “watch out, you don’t want to mess with me because I’m pre-Menopause with no medication” aka going self-diagnosed and Cold Turkey too. LOL
