Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morningâs hush. I am the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight. Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep (choral composition by Joseph Twist): In 2004, Australian composer Joseph Twist set the poem to music for a capella voices (SATB div) with slight alterations to the words.
Often in perimenopause, there is too little natural progesterone in a woman's body; it can result in symptoms such as anxiety, breast tenderness, headaches, sleeplessness, weight gain (caused by improper levels of progesterone which prevent your thyroid from functioning properly) and more.
Not only do Progestins (synthetic progesterone) not relieve the symptoms of Estrogen Dominance, but they can actually worsen or even be the cause of the problems in the first place. The negative effects of progestins are exacerbated by the fact that they actually shut down your bodyâs production of its own progesterone. This is why when women use birth control pills, which contain progestins, they tend to gain weight, retain fluid and exhibit the other symptoms of estrogen dominance. An interesting fact about birth control pills is that the original research conducted to develop birth control pills were conducted with natural progesterone, but was later altered so that it could be patented.
