Hello ladies was wondering if any of you ladies are taking Fluoxetine for anxiety? How are you doing on it? Another question is anyone having trouble with their glucose or bone density..I went to the dr for physical and my glucose fasting number was good but my A1c level was on 5.7 and was told to watch what I eat. My density bone scan came back and was not good was put on Calcium and Vitamin D supplements..44 feel like I am 65. Is there anyone else experiencing anything like this..thanks☹

    Yup!! This just happened to me recently at the doctor (A1C was 5.9 nonfasting).My triglycerides were also a little high.. Everything used to be perfect until perimenopause. Someone did tell me that insulin is a hormone, so that makes sense that when all of our other hormones are out of whack so is it
