Hey everyone.  I haven't posted on TMB in a while...just needed a break. In fact I haven't been online at all much lately.  I'm going through a lot of crap physically--related, I believe, to hormones, perimenoapuse, etc...never feel good anymore & am trying to figure it all out without having to go on HRT.  I've had hormone issues for years but it seems they are now escalating & I'm just flat out worn out.  Lovely being 48. LOL

Anyway I just wanted to pop in & tell everyone hello.  Love & miss you all & hope everyone is doing well.

Hugs & Love,

Jeri

Hey Missy Jeri,

Good to see your back. I can relate to the perimenopausal thing. I'm starting to go thru the same thing. Night sweats, than I'm freezing, starting to have a few face breakouts, I'm either in a good mood or wanting to take a pillow and smother hubby, and if my skin gets any drier I'm going to crack. I started increasing soy, my aunt said it worked for her.

Your loved!

Are you doing soy milk or supplements?  I am taking Black Cohosh and just started drinking soy milk yesterday but I hate it.  I'm trying to make myself drink it though. YUCK.

Hey Ms. Jeri,

I saw you posted on FB that you had a doc's appointment.  How did everything go?  Were they able to give you some direction?  

I have my semi-annual appt. with my doctore and the peri-meno thing will be on top of the list for discussion.  Hate to think I am at that point, but I want to get a handle on it.

I am always looking for direction from others going through similar stuff and seeing what their doctors have to say.  Want to get a handle on it before it gets out of control.

So spill it.  LOL

Hugs.

Unfortunately for me, my PCP is not great with this perimenopause stuff.  My visit was a follow up about my ulcer and I didn't bring anything else up.  Another thing I'm struggling with is my PMS being so much worse than it's ever been...her response last time I mentioned it was to take Midol.  Ok she's awesome but obviously hasn't got a clue about PMS or perimenopause because that was a dumb response. LOL  Midol helps with some things but not hormone issues...

I started on this path at age 37.  Thought weight loss would help but NO...that's a myth that it has anything to do with weight at least not in my case.  I would start with basics like giving your symptoms and asking about having hormone levels tested.  I am learning that some drs just don't even think perimenopause exists so this would be a good place to start to feel your dr out on the topic.

 

Jeri, I'm doing better right now, it's not that I don't feel the affects of perimenopause though, lol.  Allot of us are of "the age" to start experiencing hot flashes, grumpiness, emotions, frustration, *****iness, lol, etc.  I hope your doctor can help you with yours, make an appt if you haven't yet and find out what works best for you.

I had the best gyn but she retired.  She was all about women's health, etc... and really had me down and knew exactly what I needed.  Now I'm struggling to find another to replace her.  I'm still looking.....

Hijack!!!!!

I was looking for you!!!  I think I will be out there next week again for a job interview. I'd love to have you over for dinner. 

Look forward to hearing from you!!

Healing hugs to you my friend.

Love you!

Blessings,

Nina
