I am seeking the assistance of you lovely ladies as I try to simplify my life. After numerous years of work in the tech field and taking care of family members, I finally have the time to focus on myself. Been dealing with a lot of chronic illnesses mostly arthritis. As a result, my mobility is rather limited, but I want to live a simple life, despite living in a busy city. While my husband and I would love to retire to a more relaxing environment, we just don’t have the money to do so. Hence, I am asking for any suggestions to help us live a simplified life despite our environment. We have a lovely little house in a gated community, but we have way too much stuff. I guess I’d like your help in creating an oasis in the midst of the chaotic world. Any suggestions?

All of my life I’ve never had allergy problems. I’ve attempted HRT over the years and over time have developed constant nasal congestion as well as LPR. I’ve been told by many that HRT is a contributing factor because it increases histamine through the estrogen. I am now postmenopausal and still suffering from the issues, but have discontinued HRT completely in hopes of resolving this once and for all. Has anyone else found themselves in similar situation?
