    If symptoms aren't too bad....don't take anything. If they get bad as time goes on.....Bio-identical hormones. You have to get a doctor who is familiar with them, and find a compounding pharmacist to make them up....but they are GREAT!

    Oi cheeky!! Just noticed that you posted in here!! I shall whip you backside when I get downstairs!

    UPDATE

    Had the blood tests and been back to see the doctor. Bloods were fine, even things that I didn't realise they were testing for were ok. She made a point of telling me my liver was fine - no idea why.

    Anyway she said that from all the symptoms I'm having I'm in the bit where my hormones are like a rollercoaster so it could be that the day they took them I was in an OK bit. So she gave me some oestrogen :shifty: pessaries. Which I've decided not to use and I'm reading up on other stuff.

    Hey ho this getting older business is very complicated.

    :)

    I think maybe doctors see so many people whose livers have been trashed that they are impressed when they find one in good working order! :lol: I'm always told that mine is just fine as well.

    I took estrogen shots VERY briefly but they didn't seem to help at all and actually made my migraines much worse so I quickly ended that. Um, I don't think I'd like what you were given AT ALL. :eh:

    I agree about the getting older business. I'd always hoped that by the time I reached menopause medical science would have completely worked out an easy way to deal with it but no such luck. :problem:

    Who Princess - did you use any herbal remedies???
  • mikalinamikalina Posts: 7,206
    is this thread ever going away ?!?! ;) only kidding.

    I read a little about that oestrogen you mentioned above - I don't know, it has steroid in it. That freaks me out. I hope you think this through before taking anything....

    I would try the natural remedies first that a health store may offer. Read up on them as well.

    Good luck to you... :D

    Mikalina - I had a little chortle to myself, I think this kind of thread may become more common. It's an ageing fan base ;) Shall I start a stress incontinence thread? :think:

    So was I! Unfortunately, it was more like I woke up one day and was menopausal. Wasn't it supposed to come on gradually? :? :think: :wtf:

    There was something I used for a while that helped with the change in my internal thermostat. I think it was wild yam cream.
