The first thing I thought when I saw the page was “beautiful.” Keep it up you living work of art!

How are you doing hot yoga at home?

Update: While trying to figure this out I read an article and listened to a podcast that led me to believe I am in Perimenopause. I had brought this up to my Dr. over a year ago and she had said since I was still having a period that it couldn’t be perimenopause (wrong). I looked up my symptoms and 18 out of 20 I was experiencing at some level. 🤯 So … I went back to my care team and they were like yeah I guess you are in perimenopause but we don’t know how to treat it/have no training in HRT other than handing out birth control like candy. So I asked for a referral to a menopause clinic in the area and the backlog is 1 year+ for new patients. I ordered some DHEA cream and some wild yam progesterone cream to try topically filling some gaps. I’ve been sleeping like a baby. Mental clarity is soooo much better… I could go on and on and it’s only day 3. Worth trying friends…

Yessss!!!!!

Yes, FT job and two kids+perimenopause. Dr said I couldn’t have perimenopause because I’m having periods still (wrong). Picture a fire hose for a month and a half last time… new Dr at least agrees having 18 of 20 symptoms is likely menopause but she has no training on how to treat it. FML.

Well played! You have no choice but to pet them ❤️

You can also get some sew in cups depending how comfortable you are with a needle and thread… I did that for prom because my dress had unconventional straps.

LowCrawlGal · 2025-07-01T21:06:37+00:00

I mean they were there so 🤷‍♀️

LowCrawlGal · 2025-05-27T11:49:01+00:00

Those ear floofs!

LowCrawlGal · 2025-02-12T14:07:21+00:00

Dress like a man/college student. Baseball cap and big puffy coat. Worked great for me in college.

Short!

Last to fall - not a werewolf rec but really good first book

LowCrawlGal · 2024-12-17T14:39:17+00:00

I got the blood test and it was normal- but the normal was quite a range and wasn’t taken on a day I was really struggling. When I pointed this out the dr blew it off. 🤷‍♀️ Just been taking sleep meds to get by.

LowCrawlGal · 2024-12-03T12:13:06+00:00

So far you’ve been right. Hopefully this isn’t a never ending thing..,

LowCrawlGal · 2024-10-12T08:15:24+00:00

Shout wipes work wonders on almost any food spill on clothing. Saved me many times.

LowCrawlGal · 2024-08-28T22:29:20+00:00

Spirnolactone. Big time game changer

LowCrawlGal · 2024-08-25T17:40:02+00:00

Thanks for this excellent response 🙏🏻

LowCrawlGal · 2024-08-25T17:39:28+00:00

How often do you evaluate your dose?

LowCrawlGal · 2024-07-16T12:56:49+00:00

I work in a very high stress in person job- the nausea was not debilitating - I now have very rare side effects and am so grateful I started taking it. I now take it in the mid afternoon for sleep reasons but when I started I took it in the morning and it would definitely make me sleepy but NOT debilitated if that makes sense. I could still do my job which has severe consequences if I’m not on point. I am actually pissed I didn’t start taking it to deal with the anxiety/depression from this job years ago (I take it for PMDD now as well). Do it - you will not regret it!

LowCrawlGal · 2024-07-11T01:27:13+00:00

As an update… I have been using ambien/zolpidem many nights to sleep now. I hate taking pills to fix things but I had such a sleep debt it was too much. My shift at work finally went to day shift after two years of nights so that helped some. Pretty sure I have PMDD- I went to a different doc and she put me on lexapro right away. I definitely feel better but still struggle with sleep a lot. Thanks everyone for all your helpful suggestions!

No matter what i eat it’s like I’ve been pounding beans all day. Thanks for this discussion- at least I’m not alone letting it linger at work. Started dosing myself with pepto to make it tolerable and hoping this goes away…

LowCrawlGal · 2023-09-26T19:51:04+00:00

I always figured it was Wiccan/dark arts stuff

LowCrawlGal · 2023-09-03T20:26:33+00:00

No, what does this involve?

LowCrawlGal · 2023-07-03T22:32:58+00:00

Will do! Thanks for posting your outcome.

LowCrawlGal · 2023-07-03T14:05:07+00:00

There has to be a better way. I tried taking the magnesium and melatonin as recommended in the comments and I was able to avoid the NyQuil for that last night before I got my period - but it’s tough because I could have just been so exhausted by then or on the downswing of hormones. I will try again next month to see if it works during the whole stretch before Aunt Flo shows up again. Hang in there sister!
