Any advice

Hi honey, you really are down arent you. Instead of trying to work out normal hormone levels for yourself, take the stress out of it. Ask your dr to send you to an endocrine specialist. Let them do full bloods and work out correctly exactly which hormones are out of balance or gone and what type/dose of hrt you need to get your hormone levels back into the normal range. Also organise a good meno vitamin supplement to work with your hrt to help the hormones balance more. That is what my dr has told me to do and he is my friend aswell as my dr. He also gives me diazepam for anxiety issues. High strength evening primrose oil is good for breast pains. Hope I've been of some help to you at this horrid time. Remember you are not alone and caring and sharing on here really helps too! XXX

Hi cherie first of all well done for giving up smoking that's hard in itself i was so anxious I drove myself mad looking for an answer I then decided to try and help myself first I cut out all sweet stuff and cafine then I joined slumming world to concentrate on something and I'm glad I did I have lost 8 lb in 6 weeks and everything seems to have calmed down a lot also I take evening primrose and magnesium in the evening and camomile tea when I'm feeling edgeyou like the other lady said a good multi vitamin and be kind to yourself you deserve it we all do good luck hope this helps oh and when you go to bed try to block out the crazy fast thinking just think of a beach you would like to be on . I take a kalm as I get into bed I sleep much better x

Hi,

Thanks so much for responding. It's nice to know that someone is out there for me. I relapsed smoking after 13 years quit which I attribute to a coping skill of Meno/ hormone imbalance. It 6 weeks now and I pray I can learn other healthy ways to cope.

I will be seeing an endocrinogist in a couple weeks for unrelated issue but I will take the advice given here to consult with him on my levels.

I also have found another homeopathic doctor that I will see I a couple weeks and consult with her on a plan.

I recently found out that I am B12 deficient and that has intensified my memo symptoms. My vitamin D is also low. I've received 1 B12 shot so far and the shortness of breath and racing heart is pretty much gone. Crazy how debilitating a vitamin deficientcy is.

I've been extremely depressed and very moody and miserable. As you read in my post I'm just frustrated with hrt. I'd like to try femring to see if I can achieve decent estrogen level. If that doesn't work I'm about willing to try premarin 🤤 . Im focused on my quality of life at this point. Thank you for listening and helping me with complex black hole I fell in.

Thank you Karen. I have the echo for too but didn't know about the meditation. I will definitely look into it. I know that the next did I see that Cant raise my estrogen level high enough for bone and heart protection will be fired. In the end I may go natural with the help of antidepressants. I will try a different doc before I give up. It would seem that an integrative doc wouldn't want to balance a patient for job security purposes. I may be cynical but that's my mind set right now.

Hi Tina, I am 6 weeks smoke free and have made it over the hump. Smoking is my kryptonite. I'm going to keep striving for balance with hrt. Level 24 estrogen is debilitating. I've been this level most for 1.5 years. I do have options as far as pills, gels,etc. I'm curre toy on Vivelle dot 1 mg.
