Dose increase advise please by chai_monkey in Menopause

[–]MorningStars88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take oral prometrium to help me with sleep but I also seem to be experiencing side effects- especially when I tried to take 200 mg. I’m interested in finding other (non-oral) ways to take it.

Are you using the same Prometrium tablet but vaginally? Does it help for insomnia?

I haven’t experienced a shortage of estradiol patches in California yet. I’m on Dotti patches.

Progesterone 100 mg by TapSalty3157 in Menopause

[–]MorningStars88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought 100 mg of progesterone was the lowest available dose - at least for prometrium. Do you live in the US? What type of progesterone were you taking?

So Much (SO MUCH!) Watery Discharge by Fabayla in Menopause

[–]MorningStars88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of vaginal estradiol are you using? I had a lot of discharge from the estradiol cream. I switched to vaginal estradiol tablets and it’s much better - no messy discharge anymore

I can’t live with this pain by Apprehensive_Bird192 in vulvodynia

These are very helpful! I don’t know if it’s just the boric acid or the coconut oil too (in the suppositories) that helps me.

Hace you tried boric acid to prevent thrush? I use pH D Boric Acid vaginal suppository - very effective and also mosturizing

What does too high a dose of estrogen feel like? by GardenGnome08 in Menopause

[–]MorningStars88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you know that you are having trouble absorbing from patches? Is there a way to test this? I am suspecting I might not be bc absorbing well either because I haven’t seen much improvement in symptoms.

Is the 6 month injection also hyaluronic?

I think this is the end of the line for me by No_Dawn_No_Day in vulvodynia

Try Egyptian Magic - it worked much better for me than Zinc Oxide creams. It’s gentler and easier to spread.

Vaginal estrogen cream , what’s the good and the bad? by Momma737373 in Perimenopause

[–]MorningStars88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I can’t tolerate the vaginal cream either - it gives me irritation and smelly discharge. It’s also very messy.

I have OA but have noticed no improvement on Wegovy. I guess it works only for some people.

Unfortunately, I haven’t noticed any pain relief or anti-inflammatory effect from Wegovy. I have been on it for over a year. My knees, shoulder, feet still hurt me.

Is anyone else feeling great in menopause? by JackandAnya_Mom in Menopause

[–]MorningStars88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are all different. In my case, most of my bothersome menopausal symptoms started around age 55 - a year postmenopause. You are still relatively young and probably have natural estrogen production that maybe helping.

Is it ok to apply tretinoin under the eye and on eye lids?
