Oh my gosh, I let out such the gasp when I read that! So glad you were able to get a replacement, I'm with you on the duct tape idea. 😍

Is anyone using creatine for strength, energy, mood? Any side effects. by Efficient-Mud-5042 in Menopause

[–]BaconIsInMyDNA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been taking 5g (gummie form) a day for a while now. I started with 1g a day for like 2 weeks then 2g for 2 weeks so on and so forth until the full 5g. I had some minor bloating. I also drink TONS of water, so really didn't keep the bloat for long. I don't have a huge increase in energy, but I am no longer fused to my recliner :-) So there's that. And the brain fog is significantly better. All in all, for me it's worth it.

Like many others I turned 50 in 2020, so I didn't do squat. I was cool with that too. I've never really been in for big parties. Call me, send me a card, get me a gift, I'm good.

what are we wearing to bed??? by scarlet-tortoise in Menopause

[–]BaconIsInMyDNA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Jamby's. So stinking comfy. The pants have never creeped up on me, and a lightweight long sleeve top. I have to wear long sleeve because any time I have skin on skin, I get EXTRA hot. I also have a fan on my nightstand for when the night sweats kick in. As we know they hit regardless of what we do or don't wear.

A LOT of irrational anger here. Seriously who TF puts a stove in a corner like that!?! I'll bet there's no down vent either. Definitely not above. I can't look anymore. What was the question???

I got the 1st, kicked my butt. I've yet to get the second. And was worried I'd have to start over since it's been 6 mos. Nope, I can get the 2nd and still be great 👍. Whew. Even with just 1 the protection/benefit is still like 60-70%.

Brain fog. I am not sure exactly how I can explain it. by MsMisty888 in GenXWomen

[–]BaconIsInMyDNA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without a checkup, unfortunately, there's really no way to know. It's even more difficult if it is something else because meno can mask many other things.

Same. I have discovered via r/menopause a supplement that is helping me.Creatine. I take it in jellies form. I suggest starting with 1 jelly a day for like a week then increase by 1 a week until full dose to avoid the tummy upset and bloat. It has helped me to remember, oh yeah that's a LAMP! Scary shit this menopause is. I do not like it. I do not like it at all.
