How long have you been going through peri-menopause?

Cysts?

At my annual check up my doc was concerned about a little bleeding and pain I was experiencing so she ordered an ultra sound. They found that I have a small cyst.  So two months later, she ordered another ultra sound and its still there but small.  She said that if the bleeding continues then I have to call her. So far, no more bleeding but pain every once in a while when my menstrual cycle would have normally been occurring. 

Once I had a cyst that was so painful I had to pull over on the freeway and call my husband because I couldn't drive anymore.  He called an ambulance because I was wailing with pain on the side of the road. Funny to talk about it now because that day I was on my way to an interview for a teaching position in American Canyon. 

Obviously I never made the interview but thankfully my husband called and explained so they gave me another shot at it and hired me. LOL

I'm not working there anymore but I thought it was a funny story to share.  Those cysts can be extremely painful when they burst so be careful!  Pull over if you can't stand the pain no matter what!

Have a great day!

Balance Sheets and Balance Pad

Good Morning!

OK, I have been sleeping on these new sheets and pad from the Sleep Number Store for about 2 weeks now and they have helped but not completely :(  I still wake up warm like before and need to uncover myself for a while, then I get cold and have to cover up again. This happens a couple times a night.

What I have discovered recently though is that when I use my Badger Massage Body oil with olive oil, castor and jojoba oils, and Ruby extracts with Rose Hip, Rosemary, Lavender, and Bergamot to name a few it really helps me sleep through the warm spats. The oil is supposed to be a sleep enhancer...give it a try, I love it!  Hopefully, someone special will rub it on your back.

Let me know how you like the sheets and the oil.  Only bad thing is that you have to wash your sheets more often due to the oil that rubs off on them.

Have a great day!
