Women's Issues, Guy's Don't want to go here! Women only!

Ok you asked for it

My wife , after abusing her feet for many many years ( she would go out in the winter barefoot, her choice not mine ) and spending many years with the vasoline and sock treatment not working finaly listended to me....

I worked construction ( concrete to be exact ) for a winter season and learned real quick how to help cracked calused skin. I told her to buy a product called " CORN HUSKERS LOTION" and use it. It smells like hell but works great! She now has soft feet again !

Hello. In regard to the change. I hope I will be able to distinguish between how I am normal and when I change. The reason I say this is ...ever since I started menses at 14,,,I have had all the symptons usually caused by change of life.

I have always had night sweats...My body temperature is always hotter than normal. I stay 99 to 100 degrees all the time. My monthly always has been coming the time it is suppose to and staying the regular 7 days. I would also have hot flashes as I was growing up too.

I have always had emotional ups and downs. Ever since I was in my teens. Moma took me to doctor after doctor ...psychiatrist after psychiatrist. They all told her I was normal with my moods.

She then started taking me to gynacologist who monitored my period and moods for about 6 months to a year. The gave me a D and C. It didnt change what was going on with me.

I am 47 now. I would have thought I would have started by now. The woman in my family all started at 36 to 41 years old. I guess I might be one of the woman who the only change I experiance for this time is just to quite altogether with my period. Then I will know I am through with change.

Just a different situation over change .

I'm glad I have two big brothers here! How cool!

Saturday morning at 6:30 a.m., I had the worst hot flash I have ever had. I really wanted to crawl out of my skin. I ended up in the backyard with nothing on. (we have a 6 ft. metal fence and it was dark. Also 32 degrees.) I don't want to play anymore. At least my mood swings are semi under control.

I do that too, go outside in the snow in my bare feet. Why bother putting on shoes for the minute it will take me to reach the trash can?

I remember Corn Huskers - haven't seen it in years. Have to make a mental note to get some of that and the bee balm. Then again, that's assuming I will remember the mental note. Isn't the memory the first thing to go?

Huh?

You misunderstand!!!! I mean bare foot or flip flops everywhere and everywhere in the winter...

take the dog out in the snow... no shoes
go to the store....flip flops

and it goes on LOL!!!

OK, I draw the line at going to the store.

My doc had retired and I ran out of estrogen last fall. Was at the knee doc and having hot flashes something awful. He laughed and wrote a scrit for me for my happy pills and referred me to a good gyn. Life is better now. Don't wet may drawers when I sneeze anymore either. I make light but it really isn't a laughing matter

I see I am not the only one who refers to them as Happy Pills.

Okay guys were can I get the happy pills?

Second, what memory? I have a clip board and write everything down. I've been so over loaded that I've even called myself and left myself messages on my own answering machine. How sad! Annabelle has lost it somewhere!
Oh my, that's me! oops!

Well here's to my starting the diet tomorrow and back to the gym. Now if I can remember how to get there?

Does anyone else suffer from Migriane's?

I have migrianes something terrible...I can take any bright lights, loud noises, and I get sick to my stomach. When a bad one hits, I'm out for the count. The only thing that helps is going to bed in a dark, quiet room and sleep it off.

Once I had a migriane all day that was so bad, but I was teaching at a high school and couldn't leave. I was sick to my stomach all that afternoon, but as my son and I drove home I... . I couldn't pull over because I was on the Interstate, so my son held a Taco Bell paper cup up to my mouth while I drove 60 mph. Thank God it wasn't a barf like when you are sick with the Flu. Sorry for the imagery girls...but that's my migriane nightmare story.

Now, does anyone have any home remedies or great knowledge about some wonder drug that helps.

I've been in bed all afternoon with another Migriane. It seems like everytime the barometric pressure changes I get one. I've been working alot in the last 3 days and that doesn't help but the pressure changes seem to also trigger them.
I've tried OTC drugs but none work. I'm now on Imitrex shots and a dark room for hours. Then I feel like I'm dragging when I get up. Shoulders are still stiff but head doesn't hurt.
Eucaliptus oil on my pillow helps a little and hot compresses on my face with rest. I don't know any home remedies but I'm open to any suggestions!

Happy pills are incredible things. Gives back the estrogen that nature steals. Help with memory too..........I think.

Annabelle I do hope this passes quickly! I was getting 3 to 4 migraines a day before I had the plate put in my neck. Have some powerful pills that do the trick. Have only had 2 in the last year. Life is good.

Hang in there dear lady!
