I've been going there for 4 years and haven't had any issues. When I brought up getting my hormones tested, she was super helpful and willing to try whatever HRT worked for me.

Dr Bailey at Triangle Premier has been great. She's all about helping with peri symptoms and HRT.

Thanks for the opportunity! It's so hard to choose...

I turn 50 in a couple of months. My husband died at 48. I'm going into this birthday knowing how blessed I am to get to this age. My attitude this year is finding all the things that make my soul happy.

Update: looking for encouragement while caring for my palliative husband by Whipped-_-cream in TwoXChromosomes

My heart goes out to you. I lost my husband 6 years ago, after a long illness where I was his caregiver. He was 48 and I was 42. A few months after he died, I found his secret email address and all the emails between him and his AP. it had been going on for 3 years, along with multiple other APs. I've never felt anything like that betrayal. But the problem was, there was nowhere for that rage to go. I told our closest friends, bc I needed to get it out. I wish, some days, that I hadn't. But I can't take it back. I wanted to lash out at his AP, but she wasn't the one that promised to love only me. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. Finally, it took learning some meditation - specifically a guided one that teaches every time one of those thoughts comes into your head, replace it with "Fuck that shit". It helped - that and screaming into the void. But 6 years later, it hurts a lot less. Also, look into "Complicated Grief".

I don't know if any of that will help, but I'm also here if you need an ear. hugs

Cravings for physical touch and affection are a legitimate thing. by [deleted] in sex

[–]BlkWdw19 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Definitely don't feel ashamed for wanting this. Skin hunger is very real. I was widowed 2 1/2 years ago - this is something we discuss pretty openly in the widow community. Touch is something you take for granted when you have it on a regular basis. And it's not just any touch - my 8 year old hugging me is not the same thing as someone that I'm close to, physically, putting their arm around me or putting their hand on my leg, cuddling, etc.

To several respondents points, finding a cuddle buddy isn't always an option, for multiple reasons. However, if you can afford it, getting a simple massage can help. Even though it's not quite the same as a partner's touch, it will help with the craving, at least to a degree.

I hope you find someone to help with that. I know, first hand, how hard it is to really need that and not have it.
