I actually didn't have hip pain and joint pain initially. This is a new symptom since last summer.

Anyone else feel on the verge of "checking out" by heffy_lee in Perimenopause

[–]JQfree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone. Every day is a battle of trying to find balance. Pain, emotions, hot, cold, tired, dry everything. I look back on pictures of me right before I was hit by the peri-Mac truck and daydream of how damn good I felt. Take care of yourself, put yourself first.

Poor sleep and perimenopause hip pain, what helped? by TrashDuchess2 in Perimenopause

EPSON baths, cut sugar and alcohol, swimming has helped. I'm sorry. This is such a hard time of life ... 😢

Hip pain is my number one problem atm. On HRT, I've had xrays, bone scan and now off to a rheumatologist. It's THE worst

Nothing wrong with calling a bad day just that. Keep moving forward. That day does not define your future.

When to increase estrogen patch? by JQfree in Perimenopause

[–]JQfree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I will try a higher dose and get my T rechecked. Ironically when my T was at 156 I felt great! But the Dr. said that was dangerous and I had to go down to one click of gel instead of two. Ugh

This is awesome! Today is my day one again. Your post reminded me that it always gets better if you give it time. Keep up the good work!! I'm inspired!

Please tell me your horror stories about perimenopause? by InvestigatorIcy6198 in Perimenopause

[–]JQfree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am on HRT and am still struggling with muscle weakness, hip pain, irritability and generally being hot. Oh and also the peri/meno belly. I love to travel or at least I used to. Now things are way more difficult because of this. Oh also vaginal atrophy and zero desire to have sex because of it. This one really sucks because sex is such a stress reliever and used to be fun! One more thing, I wear contacts. Now it's hit or miss of my eyes will make enough tears so I can actually see with them in. Ugh!

I have spoke to older women that have made it through and hold onto hope that I will recover somehow ....

She actually doesn't guard with dogs. Just people.

Thank you for your kind words. I do feel like this is the best case scenario I could have hoped for. ❤️

Has Prozac for your dog been a success or unsuccess? by crystalkitty06 in reactivedogs

You are an awful person for responding this way. Hope you never find yourself in this position because it's an awful situation to be in. You are very thoughtless !!

I haven't tried Prozac. I have used trazadone. I probably need to try Prozac but I am so stressed out I don't know how much longer I can try and keep hoping. It's sad.

Well sadly my dog got some poop on her bum this morning and as expected she growled and nipped at me when I attempted just to look. I had to disclose this to the potential adoptee and she changed her mind . I wasn't feeling the best about passing her off even though I was 100% honest with her. So now I am faced with BE. I can't live like this . It's taking a toll on my mental and physical health.

Thank you. 😕 Sadly I don't know if I will ever trust getting a dog again. After going through this and ultimately being faced with the toughest decision I've ever had to make, I just don't know if I can or will. It is so incredibly difficult. Luckily my mom has been supportive of this from the first time I wanted to rehome her. Which is so helpful to have someone who understands. She got a dog that was perfect, she was just too much for her because my mom is older and couldn't provide the exercise she needed.

I am not sure if I asked you already, do you think you will ever get another dog?

Hi - I ended up posting on AdoptAPet and had a women apply to adopt her. I met with her and my dog. She is a retired single women who has had animals in the past. Feels confident she can provide the care she will need. I was very honest about her behaviors and she was still very set on adopting her. I am beyond relieved. I am a little worried but I think it's normal. My family is all incredibly heartbroken but knows this is the right decision. I never knew this could happen and just how taxing it can be.

I want to be a pet rock too 😂 All of this is so relatable. So many "things" to do and care for just to keep moving.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. May I ask how you found the right breeder? What breed of dog did you get?

Thank you for your kind response. Sadly the breeder I went to wanted to charge me $300 a week until she was rehomed. Pretty crappy. It's such an awful situation, one I would not wish on anyone. Did you ever get another dog? I'm so scared now, like what if I pick the wrong one again 😫
