Books and Music

For the longest time now I have been reading and reviewing books. I love doing that and so I created my first blog just for that purpose. Then of course things got in the way and it became a mash, so last year I moved the book reviews to the new blog that it ONLY book reviews. I am loving it.

TAMMommy Blogs on Books

Of course just having my book blog wasn't enough, I needed a place to vent, to talk, to release my emotions and frustrations and so this little blog became my second blog to allow me to do that. I don't link this blog anywhere so most people don't know about it, it's just floating out there where I know I can write and feel better.

Lately I have really been wanting to venture out into talking about music, kinda like I do about books. I love music and there are a number of songs out there that have great messages that people just need to slow down, shut up and listen to. So the other day I went for it. I created a third blog for music. I only have one post there, but it is a great song, and I look forward to doing more.

TAMMommy Blogs on Music

Is it important? Probably not, will anyone read it? I hope so. Bu I know I wrote it and I hope that it gets out there to someone. Just like my book reviews, I just put them out there and hope they touch one person that makes a difference. That's all I can ask for in life. Right?!

Now, back to the job at hand....

Hormone Replacement Therapy

It's a hot topic, I know.  If you are in menopause or have a hysterectomy you have to decide whether you are going to do HRT or not. 

If you are in menopause its  not as big of a question because you still have all your female parts and there are still manufacturing  some hormones just not as many as before. Now can you live on the lowered level, and are the risks worth taking the HRT to make things better? A loot depends on how much better the HRT would make your life.

If you had a hysterectomy then it depends more on whether they removed your ovaries or not. If you still have two, good function ovaries, then will will most likely have no need for HRT, which is great.  If you only have one ovary left, then it will depend on if that one can supply the whole body with enough hormones.  Of course is you are like me and the took everything out, the suitcase the scarf and the cute balls attached to the scarf, then you definitely need HRT.

My hysterectomy was three and a half years ago. The took everything because of issues in my uterus and my ovaries.  Then the dr asked me to wait six months and see how my body did on it's own before trying HRT. That was the start of a long hard struggle and journey. At six months it as awful,  so they tried a hormone, upped it as high as it would go, and then try to me that they don't know what to do and send me off to find another doctor.   That dr tried a specialized blend of nutrient and hormone supplements, but that didn't work, so now on to another doctor.

Tomorrow I start pellet HRT.  In pellet therapy, they run a lot o blood work before the therapy starts to analyze why we need as much of each hormone and create a special bled for each patient. Then the pellets and injected subdermally, just under the skin, so that they will slowly release the same amount of medicine at the same day and they last three to four months!  I am really hopeful for the pellet HRT, one because we have never done it yet, but nervous at the same time. I just want this to work.

I am tired of feeling like I am living in someone else's life. I want to make the decisions and enjoy my life. Continue to enjoy my kids and not be so tired and lost all the time.

I will continue to post, comments and keep you updated on how things go.
