Hi Ladies!

This past week and a half or so I have been battling with flu-like symptoms, anxiety and heartburn. I am so tired of these crazy symptoms but to top it off, I get hit just about every day with dragging fatigue. I feel like I'm twenty years older than my current age. It's frustrating! Ugh!

    That's right! If menopause or periods happened to men we'd have better care now. Only now is the NICE guidelines advising doctors to inform women on benefits of HRT. HRT on prescription charges for progesterone and estrogen as 2 different medications, whereas younger, fertile females get the contraceptive pill: containing estrogen and progesterone, for free. Women over 50 are dreadfully ignored and neglected, we are not considered enough to be discrimated against.

      You are so right Jackie. I feel the added stress this week is making me want to snap at everyone. Stress makes all the symptoms triplicate. Hope I don't lose my job.

      Maybe if Hilary Clinton becomes President of the United States, we'll see some changes in this area.

      Maybe Kate Middleton can come to the rescue there with these issues. She was ill with both pregnancies.

      Well we did have Maggie but I think she would have given some awful advice like 'man up'. And imagine if the US get Donald Trump instead of Hilary, that would be awful on so many levelssmile

      Running corporations and running a nation are totally different. If he should win, the first thing he does wrong, he should be impeached. He has no place in the White House. He is not about equality for all.
