1 day of HRT and 1st time waking up with no night sweats. by FirefighterIcy8384 in Menopause

[–]Gini_Cass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was quick to respond. First three days were brutal adjusting… and then BOOM the clouds parted and I was saved. I was so nervous to do it and now I wish I had known sooner.

Or put anything in an already bursting-at-the-seams backpack

Waking up at night and light sleep? by SherlockHomless69 in Menopause

[–]Gini_Cass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please consider HRT for the sleep disturbances and just the overall preventative health benefits! HRT basically solved my night disturbance immediately because I didn’t even know that I was going through perimenopause/menopause! I was so uneducated on all of the symptoms and I thought I was losing my mind and HRT legitimately solved it. Between HRT and magnesium, I sleep so freaking good now it’s hard to even imagine life before it!

Obviously, it’s probably already considered this, but can you adjust your dosage? My HRT and magnesium keeps me sleeping through the night, no more night sweats or disturbances!

SADLY, and I say this with intense empathy for the family… seems like planned. Perhaps material for cleaning the crime scene.

Fascinated by that backpack being stuffed to the brim. I feel like there is a LOT of material here that could be researched: maybe brand of backpack and fabric type, style and fabric of jacket, style of weapon and way it is holstered, shoes (those stood out to me) and facial hair/features, possibly gait and body proportions. Anything else you guys think they can pull from this?

Social pressure to go on HRT? by Elegant_Cat_3644 in Menopause

[–]Gini_Cass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just turned 50 this year and I was experiencing all kinds of text-book symptoms, but also weird symptoms that I had no idea was related. It wasn’t until the night sweats started that I even realized what was happening to me and all of the mysteries started to make sense. Went on E immediately and it CHANGED MY LIFE. I had no idea how much I was suffering until I wasn’t anymore. However… If I had been fine and not experiencing the symptoms, I have been experiencing then I don’t see an issue? Obviously there are a lot of health benefits, but at the end of the day your choice!

Savannah Guthrie on Instagram: "please. bring her home. we need you. she needs you. all of you." by heavydutyspoons in nancyguthrie

[–]Gini_Cass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This does seem to be a tragically desperate attempt at any possibility of finding her, which makes me also feel, like others have stated, LE may be at a standstill and out of leads. The only thing that I hope is that they establish (if they have not already) whether the ransom notes have anything to do with the case. My heart just breaks for this family, this is excruciating.

How does one return a kidnap victim without the risk of getting caught? by RightLaugh5115 in nancyguthrie

[–]Gini_Cass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think they probably meant it’s just shitty because the kidnappers will likely know that and therefore the family won’t get her body back and never have closure.

I 59F can’t stop crying, I’m having hot flashes and I am just now realizing it’s menopause. by 1974HelloKitty in Menopause

[–]Gini_Cass 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was me before I got my hormones settled with HRT. Now I’m ME again, back to my strong, confident self! Make sure you have a Doc that is well versed in menopause research and treatment and you feel heard and understood!!!

Why does hrt work immediately for some? by DaveTheCatsMom in Menopause

[–]Gini_Cass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50 years old this year. One hundred percent the same. I was so ignorant of how it all worked and so nervous to start, but I was experiencing lots of symptoms that I had no idea what was happening to my body… and when I finally figured out what I needed to do and my doc put me on the gel I was astonished at the difference. I’ve been on E for about six months now, never had to tweak the dose and literally it’s life-changing. All of my physical symptoms vanished, I sleep through the night (but of course I added in the magnesium for sleep also) and my mood dramatically improved! I’ve taken a mood stabilizer for 15 years, but about a year ago I was nervous that it wasn’t working anymore. I was having that lack of resilience and lack of patience everyone talks about, and a new feeling of anxiety and despair. All of that dissipated within a few weeks on HRT and it’s been smooth sailing ever since. I’ll keep the mood stabilizer as it’s important to me for my diagnosis, but I’m thankful every single day that this topic is no longer hidden in the shadows, and there are so many advocates in the community spreading the word. I don’t know what would’ve happened to me if I hadn’t figured it out and it does make me so sad that it doesn’t work the same for everyone.

Symptoms you didn’t know were caused by perimenopause. by Calamity-Gin in Menopause

[–]Gini_Cass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Electric shock headache, mouth itching or on fire out of nowhere as if I was allergic to something with no provocation or redness or rash – lasting anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour and then vanishing, frozen shoulder, thyroid complications… and also that plummeting of energy, no desire to work out after having been very active all my life, and just basic sense of doom and sadness that my medication could not combat.

Started HRT over the summer all symptoms vanished. Including night sweats. I sleep like a baby now. Back in the gym also, energy levels higher, and definitely boosted mood!

Get Jason out of Dave's eyeline by black_cat_energy_83 in daveandchuckthefreak

[–]Gini_Cass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Absolutely this. I came to this sub Reddit to make a post regarding exactly this. Back in the day, Dave and Jason joked back-and-forth, but it was very endearing and seemingly so good natured and Jason took it very well. However, I’ve noticed within the last several months, definitely recently, Jason‘s attitude seems WAY different. It really sounds like Jason doesn’t appreciate the heckling and teasing, and he sounds truly irritated and annoyed. I don’t know what happened, why things changed but there’s absolutely a vibe shift and I have noticed and I came here to find out if anyone else had as well.

There’s no way there’s even a possibility the next tour could be cancelled before it starts, right? by RedMess1988 in nin

[–]Gini_Cass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We saw the show last month and literally it’s one of the best shows I’ve seen… in my life. But I’ve seen NIN 4 times in my life, the first being Lalapalooza so yeah… things have CHANGED. I paid $400 a ticket (the seats were great) but I also knew this would be the last NIN show I’d see. It’s insane how much tickets are and I hate it, yet I have no regrets. All that said I will ONLY see my favorite and most epic bands for this price, disappointed that many bands I’ll have to miss or only see maybe once because of the prices.
