    Question for swimmers

    Kristan, I highly recommend a master's group, but if the time does not permit, you have received great suggestions already. You will push yourself harder to "keep up" and it is great company. Just like on land, we need to change it up in the water when it gets too easy. Try something...

    Designer Sewing Patterns?

    Aquajock, I don't sew "tailored garments", but my mom is a designer and owned a fabric store for years. She made many wedding dresses and special occasion dresses. Talk with your "seamstress", and discuss your dream dress. They know the patterns that work. My mom would often make a...

    Re: Depression check in

    I agree that this forum is not the place for an anxiety/depression check in for several reasons. Everyone is unique and different, and offering advice on depression/anxiety can be dangerous. THere is a definite correlation between the mind/body/spirit, yet we as a group are not qualified to...

    Lowered sex drive....suggestions??

    No you do not need to accept this as a part of life. Sex is a very important "part" of a relationship, and a visit to your Healthcare Provider would be helpful. Everyone is unique in what is their "normal", so it is very hard to compare yourself to others. The most important question is, are...

    Anyone here going through perimenopause?

    I am a Women's Healthcare Rep for a pharmaceutical company. There are so many myths out there! Don't you want the facts? The news is only going to give you the "sensational" and Suzanne Somers, Katie Couric, etc. are not MD's and do not treat menopause on a daily basis. There is a great...
