I'm just a woman trying to find some relief, and decided to keep of log of my experiences with Amberen. I am not being paid by anyone... I just want to see if this stuff actually works. Thank you for joining me in my journey... and if you have found relief elsewhere, please share your findings! We should all be in this together...Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10955387678694179986noreply@blogger.comBlogger44125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8725971653118572846.post-41329939558909006792019-06-24T11:24:00.000-07:002019-06-24T11:24:04.287-07:00AMBEREN is at COSTCO!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't written for awhile... sorry about that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My "man in the chair" passed away,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and it has been hard coming back to life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am realizing that this IS my life now...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I haven't taken Amberen for a few years,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really didn't know what to say anymore.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lately some women have asked me how long they should take Amberen? I stopped every year or so, to see if my symptoms were still there (as instructed by the nurses). When my hot flashes and horrible mood swings were no longer there, I stopped.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT... I find I miss some of the OTHER affects </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Amberen had on me... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the </span><span style="font-size: large;">FEEL LIKE A WOMAN feelings....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Why do I keep doubting this? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But yesterday, as I was sorting my pills, my granddaughter asked, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Grammy, where are your Red & White, Fourth of July ones?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"That explains why you are little bit GRUMPY again!"</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">WHO ME? GRUMPY GRAMMY IS BACK? NO WAY!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How can it be... it's only been... almost 4 weeks!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What happened to JUNE?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I frantically searched my INBOX for the 35% coupon I'd received...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The ones who suffered from "hot flushes" had less incidents of heart issues later on... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If this is true - HOT DAMN!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Hot flashes will never be enjoyable, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">but perhaps these findings will make them more TOLERABLE!"</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">expecting my hot flash friends to return any moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is making me HOPE for them! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well sort of... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did love the SURGE of energy afterwards - </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I would just STRIP and kick into high gear!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hate the Hot Flash... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">LOVE the POWER SURGE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If they really come with the benefit of less chance of a heart attack, well.... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">BRING 'EM ON BABY!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've gained a few pounds on this Amberen "break" of mine... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been told I need to drink more WATER.</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wait... does too much water cause cancer? </span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">in the back by the yarn,</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">chatting with another MCM</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had an unexpected vacation for the whole month of June - literally stranded in Portland and Orcas Island while waiting for my new (very old) car to be repaired... making sure it worked so I would make it, driving all the way home to Phoenix! I am not complaining, mind you - I mean really... being STUCK on Orcas Island? I am SOOO grateful I had a home to stay in (my Aunt Barb lives there) and was able to spend some much needed time with my daughter, who is working at a local resort for the summer... it was an absolutely fabulous experience... if you have to be stranded somewhere, I HIGHLY recommend it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">POINT BEING... I was still taking my AMBEREN, skipping Sundays. But in the middle of June, I realized I hadn't brought enough of my pills with me - and took them every other day to make them last. When I realized my trip was going to be much longer than anticipated, I had the rest of them shipped to me. I didn't feel any different taking them every other day, and decided to start doing that on a regular basis this month. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My moods are still on an even keel... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the weight is peeling off a little bit at a time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel like my old womanly self more every day... and never want to give them up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But to save money and make them last a little longer, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will skip a couple more days each week... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm such a cheapskate! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Starting today, I will skip Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">taking them Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday - 4 out of 7 days.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My point is: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I AM NOT DIETING - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been doing this all year long... the ONLY THING that has changed is the addition</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> of AMBEREN into my life! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maybe, just maybe it is starting to do it's thing... </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the nick of time! </span><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">venturing into Rosie O'Donnell territory! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong - I LOVE HER! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but let's be honest, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would rather look like her fiancee...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">come back to XM Radio, Rosie - I miss our morning chats!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They say we gravitate toward looking like our spouses,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">that explains <b>MY</b> weight gain... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and hopefully will help with Rosie's weight loss!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really didn't want to be doomed to a lifetime of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">leggings and loose fitting blouses and blazers...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am giving AMBEREN the credit for the change -</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and hop</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">efully by next month I will report more good news...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime, I'm feeling good... almost NORMAL if I dare use that term!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My moods are on an even keel - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel like a </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WOMAN</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> again! </span></div>
