Does Ortho-Micronor make you nauseous?
THIS IS one of many combinations that is an oral contraceptive. The generic ingredient is High-Dose Progestin (Mini-Pill). The info I have states that if your dose of ESTROGEN is too high, the side effect is that it may make you nauseated. PROGESTIN is not listed as causing nausea, but anything is possible when taking medication, as everyone reacts differently. Speak to your doctor or ask a pharmacist. Ask to speak to a pharmacist (RPh), not a pharmacy tech. Techs are trained, but do not have the knowledge or background of an RPh. Hope this helps!
Why does one of my nipples go in at times while the other one doesn't?
It may not be a part of menopause or anything! Some people just have the DNA set that codes for that. Just be comfortable with our body and don't let it get to ya!
Can I take Hormone Replacement Therapy and nurafen?

What should you do about bad night sweats and hot flashes?
If you are going through menapause then you should see a doctor. They had to put my Mom on a hormone pill and that helped her out a lot.
AnswerI went through this and did my homework (also talked to my doctor) on Hormone Replacement and for long-term use it is linked to breast cancer, heart attacks, blood clots and heart attacks. Short-term is easier, but only in severe cases should it be used.
For hot flashes I would run the undersides of my wrists under cold water or put a cold cloth on the back of my neck. At night I would use a fan that just blew over top of the bed, not directly on me to keep me cool and kept an extra blanket close by in case I became cold. When going out I would layer my clothing. I'd wear a blouse, bring a cardigan sweater with me if I felt chilly after having a hot flash. In the summer I would use a spray bottle with tepid water in it and spray myself (especially if I was in shorts) and it cooled me right down.
Menopause is NOT a disease but a part of life so it's most important each woman realizes this and works with this process rather than against it. There are many social programs where women can go and talk in a group for support. Most women can ease through the process if they learn to understand it and there are a small percentage of women that actually need to go onto short-term (only) Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Good diet, exercise (yoga is great) or Tai Chi. Lots of water 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water. Stay away from caffeine such as coffee, tea (can have a cup or two) and this also includes pop and chocolate. Eat healthy and yams are loaded with estrogene and I have yams 3 times a day. I also buy my chicken and beef from a meat market (little more money) and it's called "free range." This means there are no hormones in the meat. I also buy my eggs there as well. I noticed a marked improvement on my symptoms with I took out too much caffeine in my daily routine and stuck to free-range chicken and beef.

Can hair change from straight to curly without artificial means?
Yes! It hair can naturally go from straight to curly without using a curling iron. My hair was always straight as a poker all my life, in all kinds of weather, and especially so when it rained. Then gradually as I entered my 60s, I have started to notice a difference that I do not like. On humid or rainy days, it starts out straight after blow drying my shoulder length hair to a sleek style. Then it reacts to moisture like rain or humidity by getting wavy. It has even been getting slightly frizzy lately. I just hate it! I use a semi-permanent color on my brunette hair and have a few gray hairs slowly coming in. Actually not much gray, considering my age of 63. My theory is that it is the gray hair that is causing this change. When I isolate and study the gray ones, I can see that they are indeed quite curly and coarse! Weird! Has anyone else noticed such a phenomenon?
If you're sweating smelly brown liquid your problem is probably caused by something more serious than drinking bourbon. Please contact a medical professional as soon as you can. ~ T I have been an alcoholic for several years and am currently in the process of detoxing for the 2nd time. On average I was drinking over 1 pint every evening. With all do respect that puts your 2 drinks to shame. Have you been drinking for a long period of time yourself? And if so have you had your liver tested. I have heard of jaundice however, I'm not sure if it's possible to sweat out bilirubin. Perhaps it is. Though I have never seen it and you know how much I consume. Call your Dr. Hun! And good luck :)
Try to stay away, that is the answer that most people are giving me right now. They are too irrational to talk to and solve problems with. Try to avoid them unless you see that they are visibly in a good mood. If you do have to talk to them, lie and tell them how great they are and then quickly get away from them again.
What are the top breast concerns during menopause?
Menopause is a challenging stage of life for many women, and health concerns become very prominent. Since menopause can cause a woman's breasts to feel tender and sore, women worry that their breast cancer risk is elevated. In menopausal women, the breasts can often change in appearance, but that doesn't necessarily indicate higher risk for breast cancer. Regular mammograms and healthy diet and lifestyle choices will help your mind to rest easier knowing that your menopausal breasts are being well taken care of.
