Teens have <I>nothing</I> on us!)I'm trying to work with menopause as naturally as possible, afterall it is a natural occurrence for all women. So far primrose oil has been a bit beneficial. I just wish the night anxieties didn't grab me out of sleep.Fiberjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842973381007192689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13563916.post-70587592542877448942007-06-29T07:42:00.000+01:002007-06-29T07:42:00.000+01:00Hi, Thank you for visiting my blog.I have MRI scan...Hi, Thank you for visiting my blog.<BR/>I have MRI scans of my brain and back every month for my MS. Believe me your reaction was/is the same as mine. I don't think people realise just how horrid they are!!!!<BR/>I was never costrophobic (not spelt right) before MRI scans... now I can not even sleep with the curtains shut. Did you ask for the blind fold? I did because I was so scared that I would open my eyes while in the tunnel!<BR/>I have found that Paul Mckenna's visulization methods have helped me cope a tiny bit better if you ever need another one.<BR/>Take care,<BR/>Alison xAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160434031264794814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13563916.post-66595995906629624522007-06-29T07:35:00.000+01:002007-06-29T07:35:00.000+01:00Hi, you are not pathetic, hope the scan is worth t...Hi, you are not pathetic, hope the scan is worth the stress. I'm only just putting two and two together and realising that depression/anxiety/divorce was probably more to do with the menopause than I realised! <BR/><BR/>On a happier note, thanks for all the links you put in your blog, I think I follow more than on any other, I'm really into "Fat Quarters" now lol.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433510303758526384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13563916.post-79729148215027944612007-06-28T14:18:00.000+01:002007-06-28T14:18:00.000+01:00Hi there.

I have early onset menopause and a lot of the time I think it isn't affecting me at all, but if I stop and think of the way I am now compared to how I was in years gone by - I do see a difference. Not to mention the sudden and rapid heating up that occurs at the most inappropriate moments! We probably should talk about all this stuff more - like you say, it could benefit others a lot. xPapoosuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923812820274535363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13563916.post-15612799635386419302007-06-27T20:46:00.000+01:002007-06-27T20:46:00.000+01:00I love these fun little things you put on your blo...I love these fun little things you put on your blog...mine is rated PG because I wrote "hell" 2x and "breast" 1x. Breast! I am a dressmaker...and isn't breast the correct anatomical term??!! LOL!<BR/><BR/>I can totally sympathize with your MRI experience. They had to drag me out once, too. And I apparently looked so pale that the techie advised I go get a tranquilizer from the doc and come back another day! The thought of having to wait again to be tortured was too much, so I closed my eyes, sucked it up, and got thru it. Barry is the best!<BR/><BR/>The quilt is adorable.<BR/><BR/>XXTaoknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637583876496731987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13563916.post-22564000163639875472007-06-27T16:27:00.000+01:002007-06-27T16:27:00.000+01:00love that your blog was PG M, I wish mine was!love that your blog was PG M, I wish mine was!picperfichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980797616161984187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13563916.post-55667353870659471752007-06-27T16:12:00.000+01:002007-06-27T16:12:00.000+01:00oops, mine was PG...Oh dear, I'm so sorry, but I d...oops, mine was PG...<BR/>Oh dear, I'm so sorry, but I don't think you're pathetic at all, none whatsoever! That's a very scary place. MRI machines.<BR/>I love the little quilt! How sweet is that!<BR/>HRT is what we tend to call it, and seriously, they found that it doesn't help with the heart (in fact the opposite), and if you feel you're nearly through the worst of it, leave it alone, keep muddling through..in that (and I speak from experience) if you do take hormones to lessen the symptoms..when you do quit taking them... You will go through all of it...all over again. Not so much fun at all. I took them a bit over a year and I wish I hadn't, but that was years ago now.<BR/>Just take it as easy as you can and above all else, cut yourself plenty of slack, be kind to yourself, it really does help.<BR/>XOXOXMariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500636360349398921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13563916.post-75307534782503202422007-06-27T15:31:00.000+01:002007-06-27T15:31:00.000+01:00YOU ARE NOT PATHETIC!! I have never suffered from ...YOU ARE NOT PATHETIC!! I have never suffered from claustrophobia but when I had an MRI in December it was one of the worst things I have experienced. My face was so close to the roof of the machine and there was a huge sense of being trapped, I was actually frightened, even though I knew it wasnt going to do me any harm the need to get out of there just seemed to build up so quickly...I think that the MRI 'technicians' must be very used to people pressing the button to come out before things have even begun! I am glad you had Barry there with you :o)<BR/><BR/>{{{HUGS}}} xxtaljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453067647408903100noreply@blogger.com
