Re: Re: sex , menopause & a bad girl

[Guest guest]

I am one of those women who forget what sex is during her period. A

couple of days before all my hormones become letargic and I turn into a

nun for the following week. To wake up feeling like a greedy vampire

after a couple of days my period has finished, my libido high as a

skyscraper...

She must have been suffering from a manic episode because Dr. Lee was

the forerunner for treatment with natural progesterone cream and made it
