Unfortunately, in our case, it is the lender that is the delay….not being honest about paperwork. It sat on someone’s desk untouched for almost 2 weeks. Then they started the “blame game”.

I will look up her other ones on YouTube too!<br />Sorry to hear about your closing mess up, sellers always have you right where they want you and dealing with banks and lawyers is no easy feat if there are delays! Dang it! Hopefully it will just all come together the way it's supposed to! Fingers crossed!!<br />As for the hormones, that's not good about the meds!

I've heard that people have good results with out of country pharmacies, but I've been leery of ordering out of country as I barely trust the stuff we have here....LOL, but thank you so much for the suggestion. When we traveled to Mexico, you could purchase all varieties of prescription medications in the airport, and that was pretty scary. I'm not big on taking medication, as I prefer natural as well. I was so resistant to go on any type of meds for the menopause, but I couldn't stand the hot flashes and the not being able to sleep. I felt like I was walking around in a fog most of the time. What I have been taking has been extremely low dose and I can't even take it every day, but only a couple of times a week. Since this has come up, I'm going to go ahead and explore the bio-identical medication or see if I can find something more natural with oils or herbs. Thank you again so much for the information! I will do some Googling to check it out! That's what I love about the internet!! :-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-87005135128326165132015-08-22T21:49:44.663-05:002015-08-22T21:49:44.663-05:00Ordering from another country makes me nervous.

It sort of frazzles the nerves a bit, but we are moving along with the packing...come rain or shine! :-)<br /><br />It isn't natural, but it is a very low dose...1.25 mg. I had thought about doing the bio-identical HRT before we left Texas, but then we decided to move and I haven't gotten back around to it, until now. As soon as we get settled, I will be finding a doctor who can prescribe so that I can go to a compounding pharmacy and get exactly what I need for my body! I think I will like it so much better. Even with the low dose, I can only take it every couple of days, rather than daily! Thank you so much for looking out for me...believe me, it is much appreciated! There are some days I would just rather chew on a tree root than swallow that pill! :-) :-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-78800734667461864542015-08-22T10:00:30.843-05:002015-08-22T10:00:30.843-05:00Re: Ordering drugs from Canada

I have read reports that seems like we sell a lot of drugs to Americans I think some of our drugs are cheaper and our Cdn dollar is only worth about $0.75 US right now. I also think many of the major drug companies have totally separate manufacturing plants in Canada as our labeling laws are a bit dif so it could be you can find a supply of it up here. I am more of a natural/herbal person so don't really have anything solid on this just know it exists - sounds like it would be worth your time to check it out. I have no experience with these companies but you can look up the drug online to see if it is a possibility. Tip sometimes drug trade names have a dif name up here so if you can't find it listed on the webpages below Google your drug to see if it has a dif Cdn name. Good Luck!<br /><br />http://canadadrugmart.com/ or http://www.thecanadianpharmacy.com/Prairie Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184627811619354417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-64399276200404065342015-08-21T14:21:24.892-05:002015-08-21T14:21:24.892-05:00Thank you so much Dee and you are so welcome!

It does make a huge statement about our life today. I think we have so much in our society that there is no way to be truly content...something new comes around every 10 minutes. Thank you so much! The closing will happen or we will walk away...we've told them our deadline and we can't budge past it, so hopefully that will make them get things done quicker. The hot flashes are the absolute worst.

She has wonderful recipes and so many wonderful stories. I could sit and watch her all day….as a matter of fact, when the hubster and I first found her on YouTube, we spent the better part of a morning watching her videos. She eventually wrote a cookbook that includes all of these wonderful recipes. I keep meaning to order it, but haven’t so far. Maybe after the move.<br /><br />I don’t know how you stood it. My sister has the same problem…blood clots and can’t take any medication. They have put her on 200 mg of Zoloft to try to control the menopause…it’s killing her. The hot flashes are the worst and those affect my mood because you are just so flippin’ hot you are irritable. And you have a bazillion of them every 2 seconds…UGH….Thank you so much my sweet new friend!!
