Menopause...

I was in the kitchen preparing lunch for Sofiyah, and as always, I would turn on the tv.  There's a tv set in my kitchen and also a tv set in the laundry room (where I do the ironing).  The tv keeps me company, since I am usually alone at home after the children left for work and school.

The tv was on, but I was not paying much attention, until I heard the word 'Menopause'.  The programme was on Channel 1.

"There was this lady, sitting on the couch and fanning herself even though the ceiling fan was on.  She kept complaining that she felt hot all over (hot as in warm, not the other 'hot' thingy..hehhehe..).  She was also unkempt.  The room she was in was also in a mess.  Anyway, the husband then walked in and complained about the wife not keeping the house in order.  A small argument than ensued, with the wife saying that the husband was now always complaining and that he no longer needed her because he has eyes for the widow Jamilah!!

Then came bedtime, they were both in bed.  Wife still complained she felt hot all over and told husband to increase the aircon thermostat. Husband said he was already freezing in the room. So, he left the wife and slept in the living room instead.

Next morning, wife went to see the doctor. She looked tired and dressed gaudily.  She told doctor what she was going through, and wanted to know what was wrong with her. Besides the hot flushes, the mood swings, she felt pain during intercourse.

Doctor explained, what she was going through is called menopause.  The symptoms are: hot flushes, tiredness, mood-swings, sometimes pain during intercourse due to dryness in vagina. Then doctor asked whether she had pap-smear and mammogram done.  She said no. So doctor did the pap-smear and sent her to do the mammogram. Then doctor said she must take hormone pills. 

So, when she came for her follow-up appointment, here comes this lady wearing a kebaya, high heels and a groovy handbag.  Voila! She looked entirely different when she first came to see the doctor.  Then when the doctor asked how she was, she said, "Oh I felt so good doctor. My husband also happy doctor... (blush blush).""

Well. will I have all these symptoms when I reached menopause? Or perhaps, I am already menopause mode but did not realize it yet, since I do not have all those symptoms? As for taking hormone pills, I think I prefer to continue taking honey with black seed oil on alternate mornings....plus my vitamins.

 

Black Seed Oil

(Top pic: The potion i.e. after mixing BSO and pure honey. Note the plastic spoon)
(Bot pic: BSO in the bottle and the unprocessesd BSO in the tiny plastic bag)

This is what my husband and I drank on alternate mornings before breakfast. Mix one teaspoon of Black Seed Oil and one teaspoon of pure honey in half a glass of water. Wait for about 15 mins and drink it. Always use a plastic spoon for this procedure... (sounds like I am about to do surgery... heheehe..) Never use other than plastic because it will decrease the honey's medicinal values, also you can dispose the spoon after each use.... (not necessary lah.... can wash it and use it again... hahahhaaa)

Anyway, I first drank this potion when I was performing Hajj with my husband in 2006. A student in Mecca introduced me to this Black Seed Oil. I read the pamphlet he gave me and among the benefits of consuming BSO, is reducing hair loss (my husband was definitely interested in this one, because he was slowwwwly loosing hair in the middle of his head!), increase libido (which we were both extremely interested in... hehehehee) and anti-aging (for the face of course... Method: Mix one teaspoon of BSO and one teaspoon of pure Olive Oil and rub it smoothly all over the face and neck (if you want to) before bedtime. Wash it off after an hour, and voila!! You have a clean face!! Hahhaaahaa....

After three years of consuming the potion, Alhamdullilah, my husband does not become bald.... his 'it' does not fail him.. we enjoy our moments together... and my face free of wrinkles... Thank You Allah.

BTW I could not get the BSO locally. I would have to buy it in Mecca. So, whenever any of my relatives or friends perform the Hajj and Umrah, they would help get it for me there. Alhamdullilah.

When 'it' can't go up...

I read a comment in the Sunday newspaper about husbands who can't get 'it' up. One wife wrote about her husband, who can't get his 'it' up, and she was happy about it, until she suddenly found out he was taking stimulants to bring 'it' up! And.... to perform not with her, but with other women!

Well, to the wife, when she knew about 'it' not going 'up', why didn't she helped her husband?? She should not have felt downright happy about it... Perhaps she does not need 'it' as much as before... But then, if marriage is for life, so is s**.

I have not encountered this problem yet, hopefully not, ever. But then, I ensure my husband takes honey with black seed oil mixed with water every morning before breakfast, his supplements i.e. multivitamins, ensure he does not drink iced water and his morning run at least 3 times a week.

Of course, I also make sure he does not stress himself.... heheheee. But most important is to pray for good health always... Ameen.
