Immune system/healing

Posted , 8 users are following.

Hi ladies, does anyone have problems with their immune system because of oestrogen decline? I'm suffering all the usual, weight gain, flushes etc but I also take ages to heal when I get a bruise and I've just developed an unsightly sore on my chin and in my nose. I've had them both over a week and they seem to be taking ages to heal. It's really getting me down. My body seems to be reacting so badly to menopause it feels like everything is going down hill at the moment!

    Yes I started taking vitamin d because I was exhausted and I knew the symptoms this time before it was too late. My vitamin d was extremely low last year. Also I have put on tons of weight. But have decided to take aqua-cise classes at my local ymca. I have a treadmill/elliptical/ bike and total gym at home but it is really hard on my knees. So I figure try the water 1st then work my way back to these toys. 😊 my dr also told me to start taking multi-vitamins.

    Cheryl, take a multi-vitamin daily. Find a good vegetarian quality one. It will make a world of difference. Also, take vitamin D3, aside from the one in the multi-vitamin.

    Hi, may I ask you? Did you check your hormones?

    Thank you.

      Hi, yes I've had two blood tests. I'm 46 and was on the same marina coil for 7 years during which time I had no bleeding. I've had 1 period in 5 months since removal. Hot flushes and insomnia started when I was 44. To top it all I've piled on weight and had a bone scan revealing low bone density! I've just started taking menopace plus so am hoping that will work.

      Is it supplements? I'm 43 and started around March may be early but that's when I understood that's something isn't quite right 😕

      Yes it is. Only taken it for 4 days so will let you know how I go on. Yes that's how I felt. I kept forgetting things as well as was worried at some stage if I had dementia! I've broken three bones in the past year and it feels every part of my life is becoming affected 😢

      Aaaaa, I'm sure that you are OK. I'm terrible! Keep forgetting everything. Not just to say. I go to the kitchen and can't remember what for! Terrible ?

      Also, if your cholesterol is good you will be fine. The weather is very changeable now.

      Let me know how things will be for you.

      Blessings
