Good Morning Pausers. I just wanted to update you on my doctor’s appointment regarding my hormone blood panel. He told me I’m still making estrogen and my values are still in line with perimenopause. Also this transition into menopause can take a few years. YAY I am currently on a low dose estrogen patch to offset the months where my body is producing less. Interestingly my B-12 was low in spite of the fact that I take B-complex daily. So I’m now doubling the dose.

I explained my rollercoaster of emotions….some months worse than others. Apparently just like PMS, I will have to endure this mental chaos. However, he did say that upping the B-12 might help.

I’m just so thankful I have this space where I can write it all down. Journaling can be such a grounding, calming practice. Who knew!

That’s it from me today. And as always I will say…..Let’s Pause, breathe and embrace the journey!
