Hi! I am desperate. My brain fog and mood swings are undermining the quality of my life terribly. My OB/GYN will not give me my birth control pill any longer. (I am in the US and over 50. That's the standard here.) I am terrified of traditional HRT. And, since I don't really get hot flashes or dryness, my doctor isn't in love with the idea of prescribing them anyway. I tried some bioidentical progesterone. That made me sleepy and freezing all the time. I have seen some women on the forum using flower essences. Do they work? Or is that a placebo thing?
I bought the ‘rescue’ one. When I’m panicky and don’t know what else to do, I use it.
Your not alone I started having the brain fog and The Feeling like I’m gonna fall down tired feelings…also I am going through Post Concussion Syndrome as well. Where did you get the Bioidentical Hormones From? Are you still taking them?
Hi Shana,
I am so sorry you are going through PCS! On top of peri…I wouldn’t know where one started and the other ended.
I just got some OTC bioidentical progesterone derived from wild yam online. It was a cream. I stopped using it after a week or so because I was cold and tired all the time. And 2 days after I stopped I got the worst period in years. Some of the over the counter stuff is amazingly strong!
If I weren’t working I would just live in the fog and rage. But the combination is terrible in the work place!
Thanks for responding. It means the world to know I am not alone!
