Can Menopause Be Predicted? Ask Mom!

Written by Jennifer Austin on January 17, 2010 - 9:12pm

Starting menopause is a lot like starting your period. Its arrival is heralded by years of funny changes (from breast buds and arm pit hair on the one end, to fatigue and flat-lining libido on the other).

Pfizer Sued for Breast Cancer Link to Menopause Meds... Again

Written by Jennifer Austin on January 6, 2010 - 4:07pm

It's not the first time it's happened, but this latest lawsuit against Pfizer's menopause drugs, Provera, Premarin and Prempro, delivered a stinging blow to the pharmaceutical giant. The damages were punitive -- only $1.5 million awarded to Merle Simon after the company's hormone replacement drugs used to treat her hot flashes and night sweats were found to cause breast cancer. In the recent past, they've been known to shell out sums greater than $70 million for similar cases.

But I’m Too Young for Menopause!

Written by Dita Faulkner on December 31, 2009 - 11:05am

I want to continue to talk about menopause. A few months ago, my skin started to have a crawling sensation. I also started to have what I call “private summers,” otherwise known as hot flashes. Not to mention the night sweats and disrupted sleep patterns that started soon after. Yes, I do know what I’m talking about.

Written by Jennifer Austin on November 16, 2009 - 11:58pm

Amidst a flood of menopause therapies sworn to cast off hot flashes, yoga appears to deliver.
