I see there are tons of podcasts on the topic out there. Any recommendations?

I wouldn’t mind chatting a bit about peri and symptoms. I seem to have bouts of random symptoms every few months it seems. Took some rhodiola yesterday and today and it seems to help. Also ordered a couple more adaptogens to try out....

Has anybody read it yet? I am about halfway through. And wow. I learned a ton so far.

It is important to note, since this is an observational study, that it cannot say that having premenstrual disorders causes early menopause. Instead, the results show that there is a correlation between the two, said senior study author Dr. Donghao Lu, an associate professor in the department of medical epidemiology and...

My hormones are so low my gyn said I shouldn’t have periods. Yet I do. And the past year it’s become more frequent. I just had one two weeks ago and starting again today. The past few years the first day is pure hell and I lie in bed in misery. Hopefully it’s just a few years to go but damn a hysterectomy would give me...

Some folks asked if I would check in when I started my HRT so here I am. I have only noticed two differences thus far:...

It’s great that they are getting this out here:...

It took a little tussle with the insurance company, but today my Rx for the combipatch was FINALLY filled. I put it on in the office bathroom lol. I know I need to give it a couple of months but at least I got the ball rolling. What a relief!

Hey all, I have updated the menopause wiki! (it’s listed in the sidebar) I figured it was time for a refresh. I have expanded a number of different sections, to go into better detail about some of the more common symptoms (frustrations, like weight)....

I’m kind of happy to say I don’t have much to share. It went well. As I mentioned in one of the comments on my previous thread, I knew the gyno would be willing to prescribe HRT because she told me so at our appointment in September. She just wanted me to try Remifemin first. But she mentioned in our appointment yesterday...

Well, it finally happened and I got COVID. (So angry… ) Luckily, my symptoms have been relatively mild – but, that being said, I still feel like total shit. But at least I’m not in the hospital or anything like that....

Good morning friends. I’m not under the care of any kind of mental health practitioner but I recognize I probably should be. My ability to cope is a roller coaster even though the situational stressors in my life have been pretty much all the same for many years now (money issues, relationship issues). From time to time I’ll...

Hello!...

I just spent a little over 24hrs with 3 really good friends for my bestie’s 50th birthday. We had a lovely time, but I spent a lot of it wanting them to all to shut up / fuck off. I feel horrible. I have to go to work today and the thought of having to be around people again makes me want to cry. I just want to lie on the sofa...

Hey y’all, I’ve been boycotting reddit and don’t have access to the Menopause wiki, so I’m hoping one of you lovely people can help me. I am perimenopausal (VERY), and I’ve been using the estradiol patch for a while along with the Mirena to manage my symptoms. I’m currently using the .075 patch. My doctor also...

I got a new GYN in September and told her some of the symptoms I was having. She suggested I try Remifemin (black cohosh mainly) for a little while then see if I wanted to get on HRT after giving that a shot. The hot flashes are ramping up and my bra is getting too small and my belly is starting to flop over, and those are just...

Recent Globe & Mail article....

I’ve started to get these really deep pimples on my chin. They don’t have a head and they seem to just stay there forever. I’ve always had pretty clear skin minus the occasional regular pimple so I don’t know what to do about these. I’m assuming this is part of peri? Have any of you successfully gotten rid of these?

Is this another example of the peri gift that keeps giving?...
