Five years ago (age-47) my gyn wanted to put me on hormones and gave me a mess of samples, they sat on the vanity for a few weeks (dh even asked, was I going to take them- with pleading in his eyes...)but the worst of symptoms settled down- If I had taken the meds I would have thought they had cured me! I then realized my complaints were very much like a cycle. I started vitamin D(mood), and B12 (brain fuzzies), used black cohosh(flashes)and started yoga classes(patience- 3 teenagers). Got back to my original weight and am careful to stay there. I think I'm better for it and enjoying the hormonal freedom! |
