I'm going thru worst symptoms of peri for last 14 months. daily headaches, neck pain, head pressure, ear ringing and pressure, worst anxiety, heart palps, low energy, down feeling, crying spells, sleeping problems and so on. I try to deal with it with natural remedies and healthy diet and exercise but it's just not responding to anything. My periods were irregular for a while but last 5 months they've been regular. how do I check for hormones levels at home (my doctor won't check since my periods are regular for few months) ? I have read about natural progesterone creams, but are they any good, do they help? has anyone used it successfully? please share your experience/opinions. Thank you ladies:)
