Here a study, there a study, everywhere a study, study...

Here a study, there a study, everywhere a study, study...   
Too much meat causes colon cancer... not enough, you lose muscle mass... 
Sugar causes cancer, artificial sweeteners cause cancer... preservatives cause cancer!
My mother grew her own vegetables... walked three miles a day...
 got lots of sleep... drank red wine...
still died of colon cancer!
You can find data to support whatever side of whichever debate you are supporting...
But this one intrigues me...   
In a nutshell, they studied 60,000 women for 10 years.
The ones who suffered from "hot flushes" had less incidents of heart issues later on... 
If this is true - HOT DAMN!!
"Hot flashes will never be enjoyable, 
but perhaps these findings will make them more TOLERABLE!"

I'm on my AMBEREN BREAK now... 
expecting my hot flash friends to return any moment.

This is making me HOPE for them!  
Well sort of... 

I did love the SURGE of energy afterwards - 
I would just STRIP and kick into high gear!

Hate the Hot Flash... 
LOVE the POWER SURGE
If they really come with the benefit of less chance of a heart attack, well.... 
BRING 'EM ON BABY!

I've gained a few pounds on this Amberen "break" of mine... 
I've been told I need to drink more WATER.
Wait... does too much water cause cancer? 
'Don't tell anyone but I'm actually full of pineapple juice'
Drinking too much water can be bad for your health...   
They have GOT to be kidding...

Call me...

Taking a break... I am not afraid!

I have been advised to "take a break" from my beloved Amberen.
Nothing bad has happened... 
  It's because things are going so well!


Amberen's claim to fame, and the reason I chose it to begin with, was to help my body kick itself into gear!

  I started my Amberen Adventure a year and four months ago.
I suppose it's time...

Last Time I took a BREAK - ME NO LIKIE!
 
Hopefully it will be different this time.

I'm
crossing my fingers!

So far so good... 
four whole hours without a hot flash or a tongue lashing... I will keep you posted!

I'm not afraid... 
But maybe the "man in the chair" should be!

I am thankful for the Amberen staff, who patiently discuss things with me, and for a doctor willing to LISTEN!  
Nobody should be ALONE going through this...
Listen to Tommy Boy - YOU ARE NOT ALONE!  





Jeez... 
is it just me...


or does he still look mighty fine...
