And the Doctor says.....
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi Ladies, since my last post I have been to see my Dr & this is her conclusion...being a year since a period all my menopause symptoms are peaking, does this mean it all gets worse before getting better? the seemingly endless mental moods & tears, stuffy head, sinus like congestion, funny bits n pieces"down there" etc just an overall weird not right feeling also can these peaking hormone levels cause spikes in BP...yep, mine is up which explains why I feel hot woozy & just really out of sorts..AND NOW, my stomach has been feeling sickly & tight like my body is finding it hard to relax, I've been shivery cold but hot n clammy OMG! 😩 I'm a wreck. My Dr gave me a script for Livial but I'm not keen on anything HRT, as I told her because of family history also I'm seeing a specialist early Oct. Have any ladies heard of menopause symptoms reaching a peak before everything finally settles? will I ever really be free of this sh** ? Just want to be able to be the 'get up n out n do' person like I used to be & not have very day governed by how I feel, I'm only staying between my home & local area because of feeling so crappy & weird(scary) My Dr says it all passes & that no woman has been left permanently in a menopause state. Everything I read says, the last period, menopause happens at age 51, but can range from anywhere 40 to 60 maybe she thinks me being 55 I should be through & done & back to normal HUH!! 😒 am I normal & or late? oh my once joyous carefree life where are you? have you been sucked into some bottomless abyss for good?
Keep Well Ladies xo

I'm 4 years post now age 53 it does get better but I still have a lot of the symptoms still just not as bad now. I didn't take HRT due to family history. I was never diagnosed as in the menopause either. I just used to go with different symptoms monthly and nothing was ever diagnosed after having tests So I look back now reading these posts and come to the conclusion that I wasn't physically ill but in menopause. Try and keep looking ahead and positive Hun there is light at the end of the tunnel. I still on antidepressants and won't stop them as think they have helped a great deal. Good luck Hun xx

I'm beginning to worry that I'll never return to the old me........and it is very , very scarey. I don't know about anyone else but I feel an absolute idiot to feel like this at my time of life......I was hoping that with kids off our hands me and hubby could enjoy ourselves........not a hope at the moment!

I get headaches (not migraines) if my oestrogen is too low. I also had two hip replacements and other surgeries while using oestrodiol oestrogen and it was never an issue, particularly because I use the transdermal ones, not the oral tablets. Transdermal is deemed to be not a problem for creating clots, strokes, etc.
Print it off and take it in to your dr, or get another dr. I have been using oestrodiol for 25 years now with no problems, only major benefits, other than my oestrogen being made ineffective by an undiagnosed prolactinoma for 6 years. This caused my oestrogen to be made ineffective.
