Hi all&#33;<br /><br />Boy is it hot today -at least hot for us - around 83 right now.<br /><br />And the worst part is when I had the &quot;thingie&quot; the doctor took me right of my estrogen pills - now I am (please excuse the vernacular) sweating like a bull&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />I am taking Black Cohosh and drinking soy milk but so far no results.  Any suggestions oh wild and crazy menopausal sisters?  I am hoping to be back to normal soon - ok - maybe not normal as that term has seldom been used to describe moi - but back to being me - as scary as that may be...tee-hee&#33;<br /><br /><b>MARY LOU</b> - take care of yourself.  When mom had shingles I got her some &quot;shark cartilage&quot; from the health food store and it seemed to help.  Barring that - takes plenty of drugs and relax.  Hope you feel better soon.<br /><br /><b>ED</b> - tell Roe she is in my thoughts, please.  Hope all is going well.<br /><br /><b>CHERYL</b> - great to see you back on the boards - guess with Jason living that swinging bachelor lifestyle you have lots of free time LOL.<br /><br />To everyone travelling - have a great time,  but watch out for all the idiots on the road&#33;<br /><br />Enjoy the long weekend - ours started with last nights&#39; traffic jams - everyone trying to get out of town as most have four days off this time.<br /><br />Thanks again for all your good wishes and pm&#39;s.
