From this experience so far, I conclude, with obvious redundancy: -Always moderate the applications. -Use the cream as it suits your personal and physical needs, never exceeding recommended dosages. - Be body-aware and don't ignore your "body talk". - Tailor the applications to your own needs, knowing that they may vary form time to time, as your body cycles and flows. - Go for minimalism in application amounts always. - Vary application sites. - Be aware that application on fatty tissue is slower to absorb the progesterone. - Avoid applying to any skin area where cancer has already been found or is likely to be found. In fact, if you have had cancer already, think twice and seek professional help before using this stuff. (I use the arms, the shoulder blades, the back, the legs, buttocks and sometimes the stomach. I avoid areas around the breasts.)
Cancer is always a concern with replacing reproductive hormones. I today I did some internet research on it. http://www.smartskincare.com/treatments/... http://www.puritan.com/vf/healthnotes/hn... Two sources say that topical application of progesterone is virtually side-effect-free. If you can access this website, then you are able to do more of your own research.
This past Christmas, being on the verge of menopause (a period every 4 months), I suddenly began to have night sweats. My poor extended family, on holiday at Mom's house, had to put up with a serious reduction in nightly heating temps, but no one complained to me about it. What a sweet family!
This is how I have dealt with night sweats so far:
These night sweats continued nightly since Christmas until I discovered about a month ago that topical application of progesterone cream, something I happened onto at a Wal-Mart in another state. The creams completely, and almost immediately, stopped the night sweats. I continued applying less-than-the-recommended-amount daily for a month, when I remembered to put it on. Then I stopped applying it to see how fast the night sweats returned. A period came days following application cessation, the first one I had had in 4 months. It has been two weeks since I stopped the progesterone cream, following one month of using it, and the night sweats have yet to return. I have barely dented the initial progesterone cream supply. At this rate, the $12 cream could last a year and I would have very few night sweats and hot flashes.
I also noticed that the chronic pain, lasting for well over a year, between the shoulder blades diminished and stopped within days following the continued application of progesterone cream. Also the pain in my feet, which happened every morning, stopped as well. Neither pains have returned yet tho sometimes I do get some tension between the shoulder blades these days. More in next post
I think we need to challenge the societal convention that marriages are to last a lifetime. At the time this convention was created, people only lived to be on average 40 years old, if they were lucky. We have more than doubled normal lifespan, yet we are still living with conventions that are way out-moded and out-dated. Let's adjust societal conventions to the actual nature of today's world.
One can respect a specific aspect of their mate but not another. I don't think we can think of respect as a global issue when it is directed at our spouse. I trust my spouse with certain things and not with others.
Define the "spirit of the man" please. Define the "spirit of a woman" please. The error in this article was to quote the bible. The god-thing and the quotes turned me completely off.
