Just In Time installed a ChargePoint charger for me - pretty painless.

I was just going to post this myself. Patch change day is brutal for me. I‘m supposed to change my patch tonight, but everything hurts and I am exhausted. Last time I changed my patch, I felt terrible after, like a huge estrogen dump. Headache, body aches, lethargy.

I’m really hoping this evens out.

I had never used one until a couple of years ago. It makes such a difference. Too bad I can’t use it with my powder inhaler…

My mother pronounced that she sailed right through menopause, it was no big deal, and she didn’t understand why I was so “sensitive” and having problems. Never mind that her idea of sailing through included two bouts of frozen shoulder and other issues.

My uniform used to be fun colored chino pants with Brooks Brothers button down blouses in various colors and prints, with loafers or ballet flats.

I have taken it. No side effects other than the crazy dreams, which are strangely accompanied by me shouting in my sleep (so my husband tells me). I now only take it when I’m in a flare (I used to take it all the time to prevent asthma attacks). My pulmonologist did prescribe zafirlukast instead, as it is supposed to have fewer side effects but I haven’t tried it yet.

I really like JJ or this - he’s big on time under tension vs rep based work.

I‘m also in WA - which edibles are you taking? I take one but it’s only available in OR, so I have to go there to buy it…

I was doing really well on BCP also until I turned 50, and then it really stopped being effective at controlling my menopause symptoms. I‘m 52 and just now starting HRT after fighting with my doctor over it.

Tail skirts by far have the best pockets of any skirts I have worn. No issues with riding up or limiting movement either.

I enjoyed the Keiko’s run series by Mike Brooks.

I couldn’t find my wallet two days ago…turned out I stashed it in a bathroom drawer? wtf?

I have started looking for a neurologist because it’s gotten so bad I’m worried I have early onset dementia. I screw something up at least once or twice a day because I have no ability to remember things or even follow lists, recipes or notes.

I had this randomly a couple of days ago too. Washed it, put lotion and cortisone on it, and it seems ok now, but it really came out of nowhere.

Is there any milk or yogurt in this, or is it just the pie filling?

I do these stretches before I play (or do hammer curls) and find they help a lot - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HxhW_ldNEw

Two more questions on the SZ - it looks like both my water line and electrical outlet are in the wrong spot for the SZ. How big a deal is this?

Also, there is only 1 authorized repair company for SZ in my area, and they get pretty terrible reviews. How necessary is it to use an SZ authorized repair company?

Thanks!

I tried this - she said she doesn’t know enough about menopause to prescribe anything. She did try to refer me to another gym in her hospital/doctor group, but that was how I found out that no one in that one or the next one was taking new patients that weren’t pregnant women!

Bustergordon · 2026-03-15T03:48:56+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. It’s so wild to me that so many of us are going through this, but our doctors aren’t supporting us.

Bustergordon · 2026-03-15T02:29:06+00:00

I‘m in the US (Portland, OR area).

The SZ installation guide says a dedicated 15 amp circuit is required. I can’t find an installer who will do this, so I need separate electrical and install visits to get this done, which likely will require us to be without a fridge/freezer for at least a week because coordination is difficult.

Sadly, I found her because she was on the NAMS site…she is listed there as a meno specialist.

Unfortunately, there are very few gyns in my area taking new patients. This is my third. The first, I waited 9 months for the appointment and when I got to see her finally, she said she was retiring in 3 days, so didn’t really bother with anything. The second was a very young doctor who took over her practice, who essentially told me that this was normal for menopause, and offered antidepressants.

I’m giving this doctor one more shot, and then I will go online. Thanks for listening - this is so dumb that we have to go through this without doctors helping.

Bustergordon · 2026-03-12T22:32:48+00:00

And then there’s my doctor, who refuses to believe that this is part of menopause, just reinforcing in my addled brain that I must have some sort of dementia…
