Anyone that doesn't want to go on the hormones go to Wal-Mart and get the "Evening Primrose Oil" they are gel caps. Take 3000 mgs a day. I got this advice from my Dr. She didn't want to give me any more hormones and told me to get these. And after taking them for about a week I could tell the difference. (DH said he could tell the difference in a couple of days!!!) :lol: :wink:

My mom had them. And now I've got them.
Among other things.
I menopaused out at 42 (or was it 41). And it just sort of happened. Overall, I think I got more stable emotionally after. Other than weight gain - which has/had a LOT to do with my eating habits, I was pretty much symptom free.

Talking about insurance not covering getting those tags removed, or moles, or whatever; you have to say the magic words to the doctor to code it right on the insurance. You have to say either it 1)hurts or causes discomfort in some way, 2)changed appearance recently, 3) itches, 4)rubs on your clothing, etc. If you say it just bugs you, then he codes it "cosmetic". So if you say the right thing to the doc, then it's covered!

Seriously--the hot flashes can consume your life. Instead of hormones my doc gave me Celexa--it is an antidepressant (I needed it anyway for SAD-seasonal affective disorder) with a side effect of NO HOT FLASHES!! It has worked wonderful for me. My husband calls it my "anti-_itch" pill :-)

Went to the Dermo today and now I'm tagless! It took him about 2 min. to zap them with a freezing agent. slap bandaid on them and I was out the door with a $20 co pay for an office visit. No numbing shot needed, the freezing agent is so quick and painless.
Oh, he told me for tags not around delicate areas I could buy the freezing agent at a pharmacy and freeze them myself. Freezing will burn skin so cover the surrounding skin with gauze. As long as he does it in an office visit I'll keep going to him. I feel so much better with those disgusting things off me.
