Im hoping this calms me down a bit. Maybe even for 3 to 5 minutes 3x a week. Anyone else try one of these led masks? I bought this one on Ebay https://www.matas.dk/mz-skin-led-20-lightmax-supercharged-led-mask. submitted by /u/cl2916 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am in the thick of perimenopause and my moods are doing my head in. They'll probably do someone else in if I don't control them soon! Unfortunately HRT, anti anxiety, anti depressant meds etc are off the table for me due to a genetic disorder. What things have most helped you with your moods that aren't med based? submitted by /u/Spiritual_Suspect361 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I can't seem to do much strenuous activity without making my body go haywire. Every time I start getting a little active my body goes into overdrive and I start to a full body sweat. ? Today it was set off by vacuuming... Sometimes getting into a hot car can set it off. Is this normal hot flash type stuff? submitted by /u/Turbulent_Dimensions [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

How important is it to still have a period? I take Nexstellis (which has been pretty ok) continuously for three months, then take a break. The thing is that when I take that break I don’t know who is going to show up- the good, the bad, or the ugly. Honestly, not having my period has helped with a lot of the anxiety & depression I was having- and I don’t want to go back! So, do you have to have a period at this point? I’m 48 and have been in peri for about 4 yrs and started the three months on/one week off about a year ago. I also recently started a low dose of testosterone cream daily, w ..read more

Anyone else out there feeling this? Maybe it is by choice? I mean I’ve put myself out there but am discerning in my choices. Also, I’m not so sure how unhappy I am with this. Confusing I know. I’d like to hear from similar experiences. Thanks. submitted by /u/reluctant_hedgehog [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Every time I try generic estrogen patches I get spotting and cramps, and return to Minivelle. But MV is expensive and not covered by my insurance. Any suggestions for reliable generics or other brands? Thanks! submitted by /u/WilburMama [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So, I’ve only been on HRT since March 3rd. For the first month, it was miraculous! I felt like myself again, basically totally normal. The last two weeks all my symptoms are back, hot flashes are worse than ever, and brain fog & fatigue are off the charts. I’m post-meno so I can’t say it’s cyclical. Has anyone else experienced this with their HRT and what was the answer? submitted by /u/Overall-Ad4596 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

47F here, finally realized my debilitating fatigue, constant irritability and brain fog symptoms weren’t long COVID as much as perimenopause when my libido tanked in Jan. Doctor took a blood test and my E2 was 11, FSH 75, so he said I probably am very late peri and put me on 0.75 estradiol patch (replace every other day) & 100mg progesterone. I’ve read the meno wiki (which is great - thanks!) but was wondering what to expect, and when I would know the dosage is right or not. Doc didn’t give much explanation, just to see him again in a month. I started my estrogen patch last night and don ..read more

For my entire life, I've been overheated and sweaty. I call myself the human furnace. This applies whether I've been underweight or obese. I'm always wearing a tank top and sandals in the winter, and I've always been sleeping with the window open and a fan on when it's below freezing. I've had lots of bloodwork done, gotten my vitamin D, B12 and folate under control. Still overheated all the time. How do I know if I have hot flashes? Have I been having them my whole life? submitted by /u/fakesaucisse [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
