Thanks Colleen. I looked him up and he's gotten bad reviews on Yelp. He's part of a large multi-state medical corporation and people say it's all about the money and herding patients through. And it's true. I didn't feel it so much when it was just colds or a yearly pap that I needed. But anything beyond basic preventative care the quality care is non-existent I'm finding out. Sad thing is, in this area if I wanted to go to a private practice they are mostly all cash only. In every area of medicine private Drs are not accepting insurance!
Anyway I'm at day 6 today and starting to get cramping and weepy already. And my period just ended on day 4. When I was younger I had one week after my period where at least it was better but now none. I hope that's a sign of menopause getting closer?
This idiot doc should be working at a factory where his work doesn't involve patients health or well being. Some doctors have no right practicing medicine. Try the progestrone cream. I started it felt great then stopped because I felt tired but read up on it and it will initially make you feel worse but then is supposed to help tremendously. I'm bad about giving up on something too soon. Therefore, I'm giving it another shot starting tomorrow.
Kris, please let me know what helps, my anxiety and mood swings are getting worse, I sarted using phytoestrogens and calcium 6 months ago and they help at first but this month has been terrible with my symptoms increasing, specially mood swings, anxiety and incontinence, also I been having for the first time digestive issues...so here we go with another thing to worry about. For hot flushes my dr. Gave me a pill made with pollen of a swedish flower but it takes time to feel the relief, I been on it only for a week so I haven't feel anything yet, I will let you know it it helps.
Thank you and everybody in this site, reading all your posts make me feel like I am normal and not going crazy, which sometimes I doubt 😂
LM, I'm sorry and having a difficult time too. My life is on hold!
Exactly sometimes I feel like I am making all this up or exagerating things but then a hot flush and palpitations hit and I realize all this is true 😂 but I just don't like feeling this way like everything is out of my control, the foggines in my brain is terrible, I am only 46 how will I be latter on God that scares me!!!
Me too! How can this be so natural when its so debilitating?? Why did God do this to us??
Hi
You are so right about the mental issue with menopause is so debilating. People who don't experience the same thing can't understand. I already feel so ashamed of myself. I pray everday that my mind will be better today!! This feeling causes me even more depressed! !
Kris, I never heard of this. Thought when a woman reaches menopause they would experience hot flashes and maybe moodiness, not to this extreme!
