I seem to be suffering with a really dried up nose (no mucus there) Also the skin on my hands is terrible. I do take a good fish oil and a daily balance oil. Is this due to estrogen ?
By the way my finger nails are getting rigid too
Olá Michelle, sim, é isso mesmo. À medida que os níveis de estrogênio diminuem, nossas membranas mucosas ficam mais secas – o que é pior ainda é que elas também perdem a capacidade de reter umidade, então é um problema duplo. Por isso, ocorrem olhos, boca, nariz e vagina secos. Dê uma olhada no Ômega 7, esse suplemento é especial para esse tipo de secura. Trate imediatamente a secura vaginal e perineal, pois ela pode agravar a constipação e essa região precisa ser bem hidratada. Fique atenta também à constipação – ela pode surgir nesse período e é prejudicial para o assoalho pélvico.
Espero que isso ajude.
I just started taking estrogen. My face is oily again and started getting pimples again. I am wondering if it is the estrogen?
Sim, será, e lembre-se de que, mesmo que você esteja tomando estrogênio agora, eventualmente terá que enfrentar a menopausa. A THS apenas a adia, não a previne.
Tudo isso, Michelle 
. Problemas terríveis com as mãos doloridas, tenho que usar luvas para preparar legumes e lavar a louça (melhora até que pare de usar as luvas)! E uma coisa estranha: tenho unhas dos pés rígidas e marrom há cerca de 10 anos e percebi no outro dia que estão quase normais novamente. Tenho 56 anos e agora estou pós-menopausa. Estou pensando que esse é o motivo. É um milagre!
michelle HRT is supposed to solve these type of problems, are you still on it? I am having dry mouth, nose, skin on body and dry eyes, but not on HRT, so I know its lack of oestrogen for me.
Yes I'm still on HRT. It's helped the sweats,anxiety and doom and gloom. However I am still suffering with things like:
Dry nose and hands
Insomnia
Got osteoarthritis in my toe and finger in the last 3 months
The last 5 weeks constipation which is awful.
its awful isn't it. It still takes it toll no matter what. How did they diagnose osteoarthritis michelle. I have something going on in my left lower leg and ankle. Pain which is quite sharp. I am still taking vit D3 and omega 3 but it doesn't matter. I have less symptoms than before. Anxiety is gone. Headaches are gone. Palpitations have calmed down, but still get them from time to time. Now i have overall dryness, skin, nails, mouth and eyes.
I can't remember what HRT you're on? I can't walk for too long,my big toe is stiff,aches and if I try to bend it slightly it really hurts. My finger is swollen in the joint and is bending to the side. My doctor wants me to have a cortisone injection. I'm suffering terrible dryness in my nose,mouth and hands. Last 4 weeks or so really bad constipation. It's terrible x
Hi Michelle.
I too have heard that omega 7 can help with dry eyes and vaginal dryness so I guess would be good for nose as well. I've just added it to my list of supplements to take!
I've been taking magnesium for about 6 weeks now, after my evening meal along with passionflower. Both are said to help promote sleep. And a bonus with the magnesium is softer stools! There are different types, I chose the chelated after watching a you tube video all about magnesium. It was amazing to hear what benefits it has. It helps with joint pain too. I think it was looloo or bobbysgirl who recommended watching it?
And I soak dried prunes in orange juice, three in the morning with breakfast helps me to 'go'.
All the things we have to put up with, there's no time to get on with our lives.
Best wishes xx
Just a thought, have you been tested for gout? It usually appears first in the big toe and in the joint. (And in the ankle Metamorphed). My husband describes it as like fragments of glass rubbing on his bones. Extremely painful. A blood test for uric acid would show it and then there is medication you can take.
i'm not on HRT michelle. Have you looked up too much progesterone can cause bad constipation? you might say it to your doctor. It's no win really it is!
Hi Masie
My doctor looked at it and mumbled something about gout but then went on and said osteoarthritis. I've just bought Omega 7 on the way home from work so I'll let you know how I get on. It cost me £24 from H&B. It is for mucus,better do something for that price! I take magnesium citrate for other things but not helped with the constipation yet xx
Gosh I hope you made lots of money at work today! Hope it works for you xx
thanks maisie but they tested bloods and uric acid was normal range. so its not that for me. fed up with the whole thing now.
