Hey Ladies..

I am CONVINCED.... menopause affects EVERY part of our being!!! That being said, my oral health has been declining for the past two weeks. My jaws hurt, my teeth hurt, my gums hurt, my gums are sore, my teeth have shifted, my teeth are VERY sensitive, my bottom teeth feel as if they're going to come through my mouth, and somedays, my mouth tastes like metal! Shut the front door and call me Mary. The culprits are hormones; they are imbalanced, and now, we have to pay, dearly, might I say!! How much more can any of us take? It's wayyyyy... TOO MUCH to bear or comprehend!! The symptoms of menopause are absolutely horrific and relentless, to say the least! Having said that, have any of you lovely ladies noticed a decline in your oral health, since being DEEP in the throes of ANY of the meno trios?

      Hey Toria..

      Again, when it comes to the meno trios, I've been taking the ALL NATUREL route, soooo.... I am going to use a warm compress on my jaws. If I'm NOT mistaken, someone on this site suggested that tip (could have been you, Toria) . Anyhoo, be well, my menopausal sistah.
