Part 4 of my discussion about the menopause hormone therapy shortage. I’m talking with Viviane, the owner of Marlboro Pharmacy in Marlboro, MA. There have been instances of shortages of micronized progesterone/prometrium. In the two years since Viviane has opened her pharmacy, the cost of the medication has increased by 300%.

For Lipedema Awareness Month I’m sharing facts about Lipedema in an effort to drive awareness of a disease that impacts 1 in 9 women. 50% of women with Lipedema are also hypermobile.

For Lipedema Awareness Month I’m sharing facts about Lipedema in an effort to drive awareness of a disease that impacts 1 in 9 women. Women with Lipedema are 4x more likely to need a total knee replacement than the average person.

This video resonates in a big way. I can’t touch a sponge. I get soaked when I wash dishes, wash my face, brush my teeth, etc. If you’ve talked to me in the last week, you know I threw my back out making a veggie lasagna last week.

Part 3: my local independent women owned pharmacy was able to source a 3 month supply of my .075 bi-weekly estradiol patch. Women should not be without their menopause hormone therapy.

Discussing the estradiol patch shortage with Viviane from Marlboro Pharmacy in Marlboro, MA. Marlboro Pharmacy is a local/independent women-owned pharmacy. Viviane and her team actually pick up the phone when patients call. They then work with over 40 distributors to source hormones for the women of MA. She’s currently working with prescribers to find workarounds for the .05 bi-weekly estradiol patch.

My grandmas are not responsible for the patch shortage, the patriarchy or the pink tax. I did a video about the system being rigged against women and am responding to a wacky comment.

The system is rigged against small businesses and women. The estradiol patch shortage is yet another example of just how broken our systems are. I pay over $1k/mo for my health insurance premiums while they reimburse at ridiculously low rates, put too much of the drug on me and expect the pharmacy to lose money. Vertical integration and outrageous costs for GENERIC prescriptions. We need reform now!

With prizes like this troll, it’s no wonder women would prefer a bear. Isn’t it interesting that some men just think their opinions need to be shared? Here’s one that should’ve just kept his thoughts to himself.

Went to Fenway Park last night courtesy of my good friends, the Modis. It was the perfect night for a ball game. The Red Sox started out strong with 2 home runs. The Atlanta Braves won by a run after almost unaliving me with 2 foul balls. I survived thanks to my cat-like reflexes. There’s nothing quite like a trip to the ballpark.
