PLINK-PLINK-PLINK

THIS IS SOOOOO CUTE...

A middle-aged woman seemed sheepish as she visited her gynecologist.


"Come now," coaxed the doctor, "you've been seeing me for years!
There's nothing you can't tell me."

"This one's kind of strange..."

"Let me be the judge of that," the doctor replied.

"Well," she said, "yesterday I went to the bathroom in the morning
and heard a plink-plink-plink in the toilet and when I looked down, the
water was full of pennies."


"I see."

"That afternoon I went again and there were nickels in the bowl."

"Uh-huh"

"That night," she went on, "there were dimes and this morning
there were quarters! You've got to tell me what's wrong with
me!," she implored, "I'm scared out of my wits!"


The gynecologist put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"There, there, it's nothing to be scared about."

So right, Mother in Law!
By the way, does anybody know if this ‘Change’ goes on forever or does it last only a few years? I’ve had my ‘change’ in early 40s and did not experience anything terrible, but now, occasionally, I feel very hot all of a sudden. Is this part of this ‘change’ and why did it come years after THE CHANGE??? :nervous:

Don't know about that Minx,

I've been going throuh the change for a few years now and it's not getting any better. I don't want to take hormone replacements because of the cancer threat with them. So I just suffer. Or let me say my Hubby suffers LOL

Good to catch you here at this ungodly hour again, Mother in Law! I am not taking any hormones either, have read too many bad things about it. How are you going, mate? Did you have a nice Easter?

Ladies don't suffer. Go to the health food store and purchase some Black Cohosh. Take as directed with a full glass of water daily. For emergency flash also purchase Lachesis 30C. Pop a couple under your tougue as needed. I use the Lachesis in the morning and Black Cohosh at night. No flashes here! :USA:

Black Cohosh is a dietary supplement that has Cimicifuga racemosa in it. Like I know what the heck that is. :whacky: Back of bottle says: Intended to provide nutritive support during a woman's natural change. Claims it is herbs money back quarantee. Black Cohosh is known as a female tonic. Female Native Americans valued black cohosh so much they called it "squaw root." It is a phtoestrogen-containing herb popular amoung women to provide nutritive support during natural mid-life changes. Black cohosh has received official recognition in Britain and Germany for its many use.

Mary, I know that I don't have hot flashes or mood swings and I feel better since I started taking it. When I told my cardiologist that I took it he said "Good for you." Who knows what that was suppose to mean.

Hi Cindy ,
I am so glad you posted that, i've been wondering what i'm going to do , my doctor pulled me off my estrogen 2 weeks ago, the hot flashes are starting again, I sure don't like that much, so I will have to look for that stuff and give it a try, Thank's again
