Well, it’s happened. At the ripe old age of 36, I have hit menopause. Will my ovaries bounce back and provide me with normal/natural hormones until I’m 52 (average age of menopausal women)? Dunno. For right now, all that matters is that I cannot get a full night sleep, I have gained weight faster than Kobayashi can down 63 Nathan’s Famous hot dogs, and my skin feel like molten lava at times. Dr. Everett has prescribed Premarin for me, but I am conflicted now after doing a wee bit of googling. The drug is manufactured in a way that I am not down with. The name is derived from PREgnant MARes’ urINe. I wouldn’t be so concerned about the actual source if it wasn’t for the process, but having grown up around horses I am not sure it’s worth it. I might see what Dr. E. thinks about some of the other ones out there that are synthetic. What is your opinion?
