Journal entry by Kelly Mortinson —
I've been doing a lot lately with canning and cheese and bread but what I'm not sharing is how much pain I'm actually in. The medication that is forcing me into menopause is brutal. I hurt all the time. Some times I hurt so much that getting out of bed or walking is difficult.The hot flashes are equal to sitting in a sauna for awhile. I'm checking with my doctor to see if there are alternate medications or ways to help with all of this. I keep busy doing things which helps mentally, but in turn, it keeps me in pain.
