[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 84739, member: 3353"] Well, I have an idea, Jo. [img]:smile:[/img] I just read Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book. (Copyright 1995) As I did, I found myself wishing with all my heart that I had understood what was happening to me menopause-wise on the level that these hormonal changes are delineated in that book years ago. And I was a registered nurse, Jo ~ it isn't like I am clueless. She has a new book out called Sr. Susan Love's Menopause and Hormone Book. Much of the research she cites in the first book has been completed, in the second. The other book I suggest is "The Power of Now" by Eckhardt Tolle. And here is something I heard on Oprah the other day regardig meditation: When you meditate, smile. With your liver. I have been thinking about that alot. It does seem to make a difference in mood. They suggested it had something to do with the vibrational energy we are putting out and then, calling back to us. Barbara P.S. So, what were you reading? I have been reading alot of Patricia Cornwell lately. You have read ShoGun already, right? ShoGun always cheers me up. And Pearl Buck? I read something by that writer awhile back that I have never forgotten. It was about a forty year old oriental woman who decided she would no longer live as a married woman. It was fascinating. Listen to some Tina Turner or Carole King or even, Carly Simon. Tina will get you up and running every time! The other thing I do when I am in a funk is give myself a pedicure. I swear, Jo ~ every time you see your feet with some sexy nail polish sparkling away on the ends of your toes, you will smile and feel prettier. [img]:smile:[/img] I tried St John's Wort (anti-depressant) for awhile there, too. I did feel better, and then, stopped taking it. I still feel really good ~ but I could be approaching the end of this peri-menopausal thing. It is very challenging. Try some Pamprin for fluid retention and mood swings. They also sell over the counter medications to help with fluid retention. (Fluid retention is a huge problem for me.) Wishing well with everything, Jo. [/QUOTE]
