"at the age of 45, my body decided it was time for perimenopause to enter our lives.  the issues with it were a challenge alone.  then it was,determined i needed a complete hysterectomy due to a chance of ovarian cancer.  so poof - all is,removed and things get worse!  hair falling out, gaining weight for no apparent reason, still hot hot and did i mention hot!?!?  so i&#039;m referred to an endocrinologist who prescribes thr spirolactone.  honestly - my skin is much,better!  i&#039;m always looking to loose a little weight ,- but it seem nothing bad hhas happened.  my face is greatly improved - but my back is still a work in progress.  overall - i fell its worth giving the ole college try!"
