Bye Bye Lupron
Last week, I read a post of Margalit’s on menopause. Seven months ago, I would have skipped over the post, perhaps wrinkling my nose while telling myself, “Thank GOD that’s decades away for me!”
HA.
Instead, I found myself nodding along to most of the symptoms she mentioned. The hot flashes, the night sweats, the increased abdominal fat, I have them all. But, while most women take years to slip into menopause, it happened for me in a matter of days.
But, it’s over, almost. On April 1, I’ll start taking birth control pills again and I’ll wait patiently for my body to get back to normal. I look forward to remembering what normal is.
I look forward to not waking up twice a night in a pool of my own sweat. I’m hopeful that the extra chub on my tummy will disappear (although, sadly, I think I’ll have to work at that). I’m excited for my skin to clear up. I’m thrilled that I can put this all behind me.
Until things get back to normal, I must warn you. The hot flashes have doubled, and if there’s one thing Lupron Rhi hates? It’s having her hair ruined by a sweaty head. So, the pissy mood? It’s here for a while. But, I know you all have a soft spot in your heart for Lupron Rhi.

I have the softest of spots in my heart for Lupron Rhi. I’ll never forget those nights we shared.
However, I’m glad she’ll be gone by the time BlogHer gets here. Lupron Rhi would not be a fan of Chicago in the summer.

30. March - 9:27 amLupron Rhi should be your superheroine alter ego. The one who kicks people in the shins when they deface her car. Also, you could rock a rad J. Crew cape.
