The Doctors TV Show

The Doctors TV Show topic on Thursday, June 25 is on Rewind Your Age (I think the show is a repeat, but since I do not watch the show on a regular basis I am not sure). One of the segments is about hormones, and from watching the brief clip on the show's website the woman physician who is a regular on the show and one of the guest physicians get into a uh, spirited discussion (cat fight in the making?) Thought I would let you know it's going to be on, I got a heads up on it from the folks at BodyLogic (thanks!).

Methadone Frequently Causes Menopausal Symptoms in Young Women

Read the article here from Red Orbit. One of the things I found very interesting in the article is that narcotic drugs can also severely suppress hormones in young women. I was in a very bad car crash in in 1992, shattered my pelvis, broke both legs, crushed my hand, wrist and forearm, internal injuries. I was 33 at the time, and believe me, narcotic pain medication was part of my recovery. Thinking back, I now wonder if it didn't contribute to a lot of other problems, it was never mentioned to me by any doctor, including my doctors at the Mayo Clinic or the Cleveland Clinic. Have a great Mother's Day, everyone!
