Hello...I am new to this board.....
Have spent time reading over alot of the old posts, and may I say there is plenty to read.
I am very grateful to have found this site.....alot of good information and people who are not only willing to share, but also pass on good information.

I am 51 and suffering now for a few years.
At first I thought I was just going crazy.......but as time has passed, and the night sweats got worse...I realized that I needed to begin to do something to help mysel.
I am exhausted, depressed, weepy, and feel like I have lost some deep core part of myself.
Things I loved in the past have no meaning....like there's a fog....with an additional blast of anxious tension.
Crying and fatigue have been a daily.....along with insecurity due to the fact that I am unable to shake what I know know is hormonal.

I am confused as to who I am suppose to go see for this.
I have been to my OBGYN.....she's into ripping out my uterus ...so that's a nix
I have been to and gyno/endo......and she wanted to put me on HRT....no thanks.....
I would like to get BHRT..........but the are few around, and many that are so expensive that it makes it impossible to get help.
How do you know who to trust?
I made an appointment with a Naturopathic doctor for this Friday but feel disheartened already.

Just looking for some feedback
I hope to get to know you better
Have a beautiful day

(((((((((( Dee))))))))))),(I think that means hugs, at least I hope I'm not shouting at you

I'm so sorry that you are suffering and I will say a little prayer today that you feel renewed and balanced. When are hormones are all over the place it's challenging to say the least to keep some level of sanity. I wish I could wave a magic and wand and make everything better for you and all the fine ladies on this board. I don't have any experience with any of the Hormone replacement therapy, but I do see a ND and a take natural hormone replacement. It was working but now it seems to that it has stopped. The cream I take is $75 plus, very expensive! I look forward to hearing some good news from your ND and that you will get the much needed relief you seek soon In the meantime know that there are a great deal of supportive women here and we all wish you the best. Have a Fabulous day!

Hugs,

Aisha

Dear Dee,

Welcome to PS. I am so sorry to meet you under these circumstances. I can so empathize with what you are going through. I will not repeat my story because everyone has heard it so many times, but please see my personal page to understand how I do understand. For me the feelings you articulated so beautifully were the worst part of this ugly meno experience.

Hang in. Find a good doctor and perhaps consider medication of some sort. I invite you to read my other posts (they can be accessed on my page) if you are interested in how I have dealt with what you suffer.

I wish you nothing but the very best. And I hope to see you here a lot. Talking about the relief you deserve.
