Now known to posses long term risks, conjugated equine estrogens, which is made from pregnant horse urine, was one type of hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, that was commonly used. Equine estrogen combined with synthetic progestin makes up this treatment. Because tests showed this particular hormone treatment caused an increase in some cancers, Alzheimer’s, strokes and blood clots, it isn’t used as much. However, it is still prescribed as a short term menopause treatment.

To replace conjugated equine estrogens, Bio-identical hormone therapy was developed. Although some people have their doubts, Bio-identical hormones are made identical to what the human body produces. Long term effects HRT treatment from this haven’t been reported as of yet, due to the lack of testing. Be sure to discuss all treatment options with your doctor.

My friend Mike recently graduated from college.  Since we go back a bit, I wanted to get him a present, but I like to be a little unusual with the presents I get him.  You know what I mean– it’s no fun to be friends with someone so long that you can remember the strange things they used to do with pasta, pickles, and their braces if you’re just going to be getting them the same ordinary argyle sweater that everybody else gives.

So when Mike graduated, I decided to give him a BlackBerry Storm car charger.  As a subtle reminder.  Because, Mike is always just about totally impossible to reach on his phone.  I’m always teasing him about what the point is in having such an expensive phone if no one can ever reach you on it.
