Wyeth makes the synthetic hormone, prempro, a drug found to cause cancer and heart disease in the WHI study published in JAMA July 2002. Wyeth has lost 2 billion in sales since millions of women have switched away from the Wyeth product to compounded bioidentical hormones, a safer and more effective alternative. Wyeth wants to use the FDA to eliminate its competition. The problem is that the FDA does not regulate compounded bioidentical hormones, the states do the regulation. And the FDA's actions have only demonstrated that the agency is completely inept and corrupted by special interest groups in the drug industry.

WYETH are busy giving women breast cancer, heart problems etc with their poisonous synthetic hormones, and are now worried stiff about their cash bottom line as they increasingly lose out to natural remedies!! In addition, the claims they make re osteoporosis are flawed - may WYETH execs rot in hell - or at least get the diseases they are conning women into. Yes, men can get breast cancer! Puleeeeze!!

You're fortunate. If you can get rid of the hot flashes, then you'll sleep better, which in turn corrects a lot of other problems that result from sleep deprivation and - bottom line - you feel better overall.

The former eases hot flashes. The latter, when taken and then stopped, keeps the uterine lining from building up. They work for me, without any side effects I can detect (in the right doses).

Freedom from pregnancy, freedom from cramps, freedom from blemishes, freedom to have sex. As far as being over the hill is concerned, as a cyclist I see the downhill slope as a joy ride. Adnd let's face it, the expression "up hill" usually refers to a laborious trek. The raging hormones with the hot flashes and sleepless nights don't last forever - thank God!

Both would be better than menopause! We should just call it like it is and forget the euphemisms. Thanks for your suggestions. Both would be better than menopause!

I am one of those who is a mommy of young ones and who is qualified to read your blog (I still can't bring myself to say "I am menopausal). How about "per-sapia" for <i>perceptum sapientia</I>, or "to gain wisdom"? Alternatively, how about "ferven alienus sensus" for "hot freaking flash"? I come to you via Pamela Jeanne.

Good to talk to you. I'll drop by and visit from time to time. As a bona fide infertile, I have quite a bit more in common with women undergoing menopause ... and I'm guessing baby talk won't be part of the conversation here? ;-) Just dropping by after meeting you at BlogHer last night.
