Welcome to one of my favorite months….monsters and goblins! Halloween is a serious event in my family, with considerable planning, decorating and celebrating, all month long! This year,in particular, I’m looking forward to the beginning of a new season! I’ve had a challenging winter, spring and summer so I’m welcoming this change with open arms and a hopeful disposition.

I just got off a telehealth call with my gynecologist. I told him about the unbearable hot flashes in the evening and my restless nights. So he is upping my estrogen and adding progesterone, as needed, for sleep. I had a hysterectomy 5 years ago so I don’t need it daily but I’m thrilled to try it for sleep. I will keep you posted!
