A Photo A Week Challenge: Blue

November 28, 2018 by Southern Sea Muse

May this cloud pass swiftly

Give way to skies blue;

Rain’s vital purpose,

To shine things anew

This week I learned too late about the dangers of going cold-turkey off hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause, something I do not recommend doing on your own. Consult your doctor first so they can prescribe a titrating regimen!

Research shows some symptoms actually become worse during the months-long withdrawal and that it can be severe enough to cost some women their jobs, relationships and self-respect, by the time the storm passes.

~~

Dear God, thank You for seasons and the weather and for moods, all of which are never permanent, but changing and future-bound. May each season usher in new hope, each storm yield new respect and each mood lead to happiness.

Thank You also for wisdom, endurance and unwavering family and friendships which keep us tethered to the palm tree during the brunt of the storm.

And please equip us all with patience to ride things out with grace, compassion, courage and faith, that we might breathe deeply and appreciate the fresh, shiny blue skies after the rain.

    Some doctors don’t even seem to understand how deeply hormones can affect the way a person feels–especially if the hormones are added or withdrawn quickly.

      I agree, Mary. We are often informed only of the benefits, but not always informed of the risks, nor the risks of discontinuing. Thank you for visiting!
