As a Registered Nurse, I loved working in the NICU. This was my passion at the time and I realized much later, this experience prepared me for many years down the road. I owned a hospice agency for 10 years and did not learn how to balance work/life/family until my body became very sick from the stress. When we sold, the transition of 60-80 hour work weeks and structure was traded in for working from home and trying to determine when was the appropriate time to get out of my pajamas. I was lost, confused, and unable to focus for more than minutes at a time. Once again I was trying to prove my worth and be “good enough.” Projects would get started but never finished. My once highly structured, organized life was in a whirlwind. My mind was foggy, my thoughts were scattered, I had no energy and my physical appearance was declining right along with my muscle mass. I was once very fit and played competitive tennis multiple times a week, yet I now fatigued very quickly and had no endurance whatsoever to compete. I was completely overwhelmed in every area of my life.
My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 55 and died at 62. I was 54 at the time I was feeling all this overwhelm, and then it hit me: OH MY GOD! Do I have Alzheimer’s? I researched every pill, every potion, every remedy for “brain fog” that I could get my hands on! Finally after a visit to my OB/GYN doctor he determined I was in the early stages of menopause! WHAAATTT? So I don’t have Alzheimer’s? My sister and I didn’t know when to expect menopause since my mom had a hysterectomy at 47 and went through “forced” menopause at a fairly early age. So at 54 it didn’t dawn on me that I was experiencing symptoms of menopause since I was so panicked by the thought of Alzheimer’s!
My doctor suggested Hormone Optimization Therapy (pellets). I scheduled my first appointment ASAP and my life was forever changed within just 10 days. All my menopausal symptoms have improved; some very quickly and many over time. I can truthfully say I’m in the best shape of my life, playing the best tennis and fulfilling each of my passions one at a time. I can gladly say I am healthy, happy and whole!
If you’re experiencing any symptoms of menopause, I’m here to tell you RELIEF is possible! The best part of your life has not ended! Your best years are just ahead. There’s light at the end of this tunnel and instead of “glowing” from hot flashes and night sweats, you’ll soon Glow From Within!
