Menopause – Drug Companies and The Quick Fix: The Exploitation of Menopausal Women

To treat our menopause would be to possibly risk our lives because pharmaceutical companies are using women as guinea pigs. There is not one side effect I want to risk having and they have not studied these drugs long enough.

Menopause - How to Cool Off

For six years I have tried and tossed many products because my menopause says they are not suited for me or my hot flashes.

The product either broke right away, did not live up to its claims, or was just plain uncomfortable in one way or another.

Menopause – Your Body as a Clinical Trial

Just about everything I have tried (I gave up BTW) for my hot flashes was experimental, therefore, I was using my body as my own clinical trial.

Introducing (finally)The Menopause Support Line

Sometimes it can come from friends and family.

Do you need to talk or vent about your menopause? Any part of it?

Menopause and Snake Oil

My husband is a salesman. He could sell you swampland in Hawaii, and, is so good at what he does, he convinced this California girl to move to Pennsylvania for 8 years. But he sold me a promise that could be delivered. He was not a Snake Oil Salesman.

Menopause and The EMBR Wave 2

Hot flashes are the main symptom of my Menopause. No other symptom affects my life nearly as much, so I am willing to try just about anything for hot flash relief.

There was a commercial for this product on TV. I thought it was worth investigating.

So there was this article the other day on CNN and in my local paper about this new drug for Hot Flashes called Veozah, or fezolinetant. They claim it is the first approved “neurokinin 3” agonist.

HUH?????

Traveling With Menopause

Let me just say that plans go awry, like three weeks turning into eight, and you need to be prepared. I overpacked and at least had most of what a person with severe hot flashes could need.

Menopause and the Real World

In a previous article I wrote about Menopause and the Workplace. That article was based on the last workplace I knew, and I only knew office jobs. How ignorant of me and I sincerely apologize to those that have way harder jobs than I have ever had.

Cholesterol and Menopause or is it Menopause and Cholesterol?

So, in my family it has been said that high cholesterol runs on the women’s side of my family. Sadly, there is not a lot to go on from the past.

Menopause Stigmas

Until about 100 years ago, there was very little medical information on “the menopause” (such a funny way of saying it, like The Home Depot, it’s just Home Depot) and many believed that “the menopause” was a sign of women’s hysteria…and this explains a lot!
