Does the merino coil help with menopausal symptoms?

Hi J

thx for your reply.

i know a couple of people that have it and their symptoms are much less severe.

im new to this menopause malarkey , it's only been happening for the last 3 months or so although the joint thing has been happening for over a year.

i was getting over 30 hot flushes a day ...total nightmare! Then I found this page. Today I've only had 4 :D 

im rattling with supplements and because I started everything at the same time I can't be sure what's working but I feel way better.

i haven't tried maca though...May as well add it to the mix

Ps...my sister age 55 has a merino coil and she has had no menopausal symptoms at all. She said the doctors don't give them out easily as they are expensive

Hi hun

Wow shes a lucky lady 😀

Jealous now 😊

Jay xx

Just chatting to her now and she said its amazing....reckons she out the other side of the menopause now with virtually no symptoms. 

What to do...natural is a better option I guess but the thought of no hot flushes is rather appealing I must say!

Hi BxB

maybe shes a lucky one anyway and didnt get the dreaded meno too severely.. 

I can see why your interested though..

its not good choice if your prone to infections or sensitivity though as can cause them infections etc irritability and like a rejection type of foreign matter rejection type of thing for some .. Like me ... ( hahaha hard to explain) 

i never used the coil when i was fertile 150 years ago 😃

as i am so sensitive to things 

when i was younger i tried the Cap once .. My oh my felt like being suffocated in there and gave me thrush in a matter of hours .. My body simply wont tolerate these type of things ..

😂

Poor you I'm similar with any foreign bodies in me , I'm allergic to metal too so I when I had the coil fitted years ago they had to remove it. Apparently this merino one is plastic though.

maybe I'll research it a bit more , can't hurt to look into it

ill keep u posted.

I've just seen your post on maca so I'll be off now for a little read

take care J and thanks for your help x

Hi BxB

yeah good luck hun..

Heres some Vit E info for you too

vit E capsules 400iu

Vitamin E

This is an important vitamin to consider at the menopause.

Over many years clinical studies have shown its effect on reducing hot flushes.

Vitamin E is also helpful for vaginal dryness and one study showed that just 400iu taken daily for between 1 and 4 months helped 50 percent of the women given supplemental vitamin E.

Although most women fear breast cancer, our biggest killer is heart disease. There is now such a wealth of information on the beneficial effects of nutrition on heart disease and unfortunately HRT has been shown to increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

A study published in the Lancet showed that 2000 patients with arteriosclerosis (fatty deposits in the arteries) had a 75 percent reduction in their risk of heart attack when given vitamin E.

At the time, researchers claimed that vitamin E was even more effective than aspirin in reducing heart attacks.

Hi BxB

B6 is good .. As long as its about 100mg daily ..

For women who suffer with brain fog, and memory issues in perimenopause, low levels of B6 could be part of the problem.

Depression, confusion, and an inability to concentrate are all associated with B6 deficiency.

Vertigo, dizziness, and heart palpitations are also common complaints from women going through perimenopause.

All of these symptoms have been associated with (among other things) a B12 deficiency.

Vitamin B6 can also help with stubborn weight gain in perimenopause. It is key in the breakdown and utilization of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in our diet, and is necessary for a healthy metabolism - both which can help manage weight.

Heres my list..

Rain forest Food Maca 5.1

150mg Vit B6

150mg Vit B1 ( but thats mainly to keep mozzys off me they hate B1) 

Acidophilus mega 3 billion pro biotic 

Menapol plus x 2 daily 

Chelated Magnesium 400mg 

Magnesium Oil spray for a back pain .. 

vit E 400iu

Natecal - Calcium and Vit D3 in one chewable ..

B12 .. For energy ..

think thats it .. usually forget one ..

jay xx

 

I can't use the magnesium spray, I'm allergic. I'm concerned about taking the chelates mag incase I'm allergic to that too.

i guess I should get the b12 then....all these tablets, I hate swallowing them...gross why can't you just put an order in for all your supplements tailored to you and it comes altogether in a sachet powder form that tastes like sweets that you mix with sparkling water.

Hi hun

I did miss some off

Also rosehip and vit C 

Kelp for thyroid health

Wow allergic to magnesium. Dohhhh

Chelate doesnt upset your tum like citrate and oxide does.they have laxative effect and boy dont i know it 😳

Jarrows B12 5000mcg Cherry Flavour red label amazon 

Are the best strength and they are chewable dissolve lozenger 

I use to take them but have injection now of B12 every two weeks

Ups my energy 😀

Jay xx

Berooca contains magnesium you know 😳

Nite ttfn

Hi Jay, can you take Maca with other medications do you know? This jaw is driving me mad at the moment. I stopped taking the magnesium and am wondering if that was such a good idea. I've stopped eating wheat at the moment as it seems to upset my tummy, wondering if I could be intolerant. Could explain some of the symptoms ive been having. Hope you're ok?. Xx

Hi mooma

Lovely to hear from you .. 

Which magnesium did you take ? 

Seems lots of these magnesiums are citrate and oxide .. These upset your tum in the morning.. I used the effervescent from spain and every day running to the loo, now i changed to solgar chelated magnesium never had upset tum. Never..

Chelate doesnt give you the runs. My bowels are back to normal.

Did you ever receive that pain pads thing we sent for trial one .

I havent yet.

Give me two mins and i try and answer the maca question .

Be right back 

Jay xx

 

Hi Mooma

Maca .. 

Take Maca Root 

There are no known drug interactions with maca, that i have seen or been on info.

Always best to google Maca and whatever Med together interaction you want to check to see if any info flags up ..

Jay xx

Thanks Jay, I do take magnesium citrate but it has never upset me in the past. Yes I got the actipatch but havnt tried it yet. I'm waiting for a week when I am home a lot. Once you turn it on it lasts for 1 week. Obviously as its my jaw I will look a bit odd wearing it in public!😃lol . The patch did take ages to arrive. Xx

Hi Mooma

we ordered the patch the same day..

but mine never came 😢

jay xx

hi Mooma

how spooky is this ..

the Actipatch arrived today 😳

jay xxx

Oh good. Now you have to decide which bit to stick it on. Lol 😀xx

Hi I'd like more information on this subject because Il thinking of having one can you help? Thanks
