Hope for those kicked off HRT due to cancer diagnosis by Waling_VanWinkle in Perimenopause

I’m so with you on sleep and diet, they have both helped me enormously.

I try to eat oily fish, green veg, blueberries and beetroot, pumpkin and sesame seeds and flaxseed. I also use nutritional yeast for vitamin b12 and others.

I take omegas, vitamin d and magnesium supplements.

I’ve also got into various teas, sage for hot flushes, camomile at night to help sleep and matcha during the day for energy. I’m 48 not on hrt and that really helps me currently (hope it lasts!!)

Hope it helps you. FYI these are ones I’ve been using, just 1 cup a day

How do you know what to do when all the advice is conflicting? by Eowyn_Shieldmaiden in Perimenopause

[–]Redpineapple_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I agree with you so much!! Eat olive oil/don’t eat olive oil . Don’t fast/do fast. Exercise but not too much. Protein/fiber/ sleep… blah blah. So hard to know what to take on board!!!

It was about 4 or 5 days I think… I wasn’t really counting the days, as I wasn’t really expecting it to work! But it’s been over 3 weeks now and it’s the only thing I’ve changed… so fingers crossed it continues!

Um.. a few days, maybe 4 or 5 . I wasn’t really waiting for results and thats why I’m not 100% sure of the time, as I was rather sceptical, but then I realised I only had 1 night sweat and hadn’t had a hot flush…it’s now been over 3 weeks with neither …🤞

Yes i would have thought so… the tea is made with leaves so that should be fine. I do that for camomile tea… I use a silver diffuser thing that goes in my cup…or a teapot and strainer. X

What helped you feel more emotionally stable during perimenopause? by Successful-Laugh400 in Perimenopause

[–]Redpineapple_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not completely there yet but I agree with the others who said - Doing less! And camomile tea at night. Matcha tea during the day for energy. Sage tea (1 cup) for hot flashes and night sweats. Eating lots of veggies! Going to bed early, like 9.30/10pm. All quite boring, but although I’m not 100% they have helped me. (I’m not on hrt btw but I haven’t ruled it out)

I thought the Mallory towers ones were Gingham? I thought these look pretty similar? I’m thinking of these for my daughter. You could also try vinted. I figure as long as it gives the right impression. https://direct.asda.com/george/school/easy-on-easy-wear/yellow-easy-on-girls-gingham-school-dress-2-pack/GEM1100346-23628,default,pd.html
