Red Clover

Filed under: Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 1:07 pm

I read something a few days ago that red clover can possibly help with the hormonal symptoms associated with menapause. Has anyone else had any experience with this? I’m kind of weird about taking odd herbs, but I’m strongly considering this if it will help with the hormonal side of life.

I sometimes feel like Jekyll and Hyde 🙂

That Time Again…

This is probably one of those entries that any male who reads this blog may want to skip.   If you choose to continue to read- remember you were warned *smile*.

Several days ago, the monthly visitor arrived and I have been struggling with horrible cramps and headaches.   I’ve been taking something for the pain, because I can’t function without it, but unfortunately the medication makes me a little on the groggy side.   Today I found myself with a migraine and I’m quite certain it was a combination of many things, but as I told a friend  yesterday- I feel like I have cotton stuffed inside my head.  I’m not thrilled with all the emotional hormonal stuff related to perimenapause, but I have to say that I’ll be happy when I feel ‘normal’ again.

Tonight- the headache has eased some, but I feel as though I’ve been put through the ringer.  I also think that maybe, just maybe tomorrow will be better.  After all- it is a new day.

No Time Like the Present

This past weekend Marcel finally went through our term insurance papers to make sure that everything is in order. I’ve been asking him to do this for about two years now and it has seemed like he’s put it off time and time AND time again. He finally admitted to me that he doesn’t like to think about that kind of stuff, but he admitted that he should have taken care of it sooner. One thing we do need to do is get some for me, because the policy we have isn’t nearly enough. It’s a relief to me knowing that he finally took care of it. I know that’s never a pleasantry, especially considering that he lost his brother almost six years ago, but it’s one of those things that you want to make sure are taken care of long before you need them, and then pray you never do.
