MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YR, and HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!! I feel bad for missing these important dates and the times in between them when I something to actually say! It drives me crazy when it stays in my head and is not even make it on a post… Gives me a hot flash! That’s one thing to mention, I will be turning 50 in several months and have already been getting hot flashes! This was not something that my mom ever went through. Complete empathy for all of you women out there who suffer from it! Prayers for us all!
Just focus on one thing at a time, and breathe is what I keep telling myself!!
Rolling on, Stephanie

My name is Stephanie and I am 48 years old. I live in Fort Worth Texas. Hae a physical disability called Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) that has challenged me my whole life. No one ever said that in our life we would not have trouble, however we are given a choice on how to spend the life we have been given. This Is why I write this blog! I am on the Board of Directors for a nonprofit here in N. Texas called Camp Craig Allen! I also write their blog on here!! I love listening to audiobooks from Audible! Not a big TV watch however I love "This Is Us!" I live a God centered life! Not married and no children.

Rolling on... 
It starts and ends with hot flashes, it’s the rest of the torture in-between that you will hate with a passion. Like mood swings, they were the hardest for me. I would be just fine one minute and raging mad the next
And night sweats be prepared to change your pj shirt…

The night sweats have already reared their ugly head and with having FA it is a extra torture!
Thanks so much for taking the time to read my blog and to comment! Sometimes it is hard to write when and that no one really reads.

Hey!
The fact that you made it to your 50s before having a hot flash is a blessing!
Are you going to try natural remedies or get put on hormone therapy?

Hormone therapy?? Have not even gone that far! I have a PCP appointment on Thur and will let her know about my hot flashes. Been having them for a while. Do you take anything for them?

I don’t take anything for hot flashes, as I was blessed with very mild symptoms from such changes! (Mild cramps after the first two years were accomplished, which is when the cycles settled into a rhythm. Every three weeks instead of every four like normal people. No wonder I preferred pregnancy, LoL!)
I do drink a cup of Traditional Medicinals brand of red raspberry leaf tea when I feel depressed or unstable in any way, as it reportedly (and evidently) supports the female representative system. It tastes fine without adding anything to it, too.
