I have no idea how many people read this blog....so, since I am a 'lurker' myself, I thought I'd share two articles that I recently emailed to all the women that I have email addresses for.
1 - Latisse
Please read this if you are using or have considered using the lash lengthener Latisse
2 - Estrogen Replacement Therapy
OK ladies....this is a very LONG article, but it is of utmost importance to the women (of a certain age/close to a certain age....like me) that I know.
Estrogen replacement has its pro's and con's (the latter being a concern that it contributes/causes breast/uterine/ovarian cancer)
2 main points: the article cites that studies are showing that estrogen replacement may be most beneficial to us when were are pre-menopausal/in menopause, but not necessarily beneficial long-term. Ie. take it for about 10 yrs and then stop. The greatest benefit to taking it at this time is in maintaining critical tissue connectivity in our brains to stave-off Alzheimer's.
Secondly, lack of estrogen seems to exacerbate depression/cause depression (if you are not already diagnosed). Even if you are taking anti-depressants, you may need some estrogen replacement as well.
It's worth a conversation with your ob/gyn at your next visit.
(KP: ob/gyn - not your dentist, podiatrist or other doc that you like to discuss your lady-parts with...an OB/GYN) ;)
Dear Lurkers:
Please spread the word amongst your girlfriends.
Sincerely,
The Eye
