Oh yeah. I can't go NEAR wool! Even a wool blanket. No way! And do you know, I've knit up 100% acrylic sweaters that also itch me!? So I figured, okay, I'll go for the 100% cashmere. Nope. Itches like crazy! It's 100% cotton, or nothing.
So you don't do any fiber EITHER?! Wow! Well, well. Verrrry interesting. Lots of people here don't. I'm amazed.
For some reason, I'm just afraid to NOT take it. Am I just a wuus? I know it's not the same, but I do eat a lot of whole wheat (it doesn't bother me at all). And I'm glad to say that soy agrees with me real well. I'd say it's 99% of my diet. Soy cheese, soy butter, soy milk, soy "ice cream", and I think pretty soon I'm gonna be drinking soy "coffee" as well! (More news on that to come....)
I've stopped taking my HRT. After 45 years of the stuff, I'd say it's about time. I'll be 60 in November, and I've decided my body is going to have go "au naturel" from now on. Okay, so I have severe hot flashes -- but I just step outside on the balcony 'till they blow over. No big deal. And with all the soy I'm taking in now, more than ever, that should take the place of the estrogen.
Gee it's good to have you back, Joan!
