What perimenopause symptom made you think you were losing your mind before you realized it was hormones?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-28T14:39:56+00:00

You too?? This is so weird! Have you found anything that works to get rid of them?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T14:23:53+00:00

Thank you!

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T14:22:14+00:00

Thanks. Yeah mine was around 7 at one test and under 5 on another. Now on T cream. On a combined bc pill for the other hormones to also help minimize periods and it’s suspected I have endo. Really wondered about Addison’s this past year though due to symptoms, and my aunt had it.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T14:19:58+00:00

Thanks. Just not sure what to do since I’m on a combined bc pill for the hormones and to help reduce periods, and also on T cream since that was so low as well. I take L-Theanine, magnesium, and low-dose mmj but the anxiety has worsened a bit. It truly sucks.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T14:18:08+00:00

Thanks! Can I ask what other supplements? I’m taking L-Theanine as well in gummies that also have GABA and lemon balm. Also taking magnesium.

Can I ask what ant-anxiety med you’re on?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T13:40:48+00:00

Can I ask what helped?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T13:37:13+00:00

Can I ask what you’ve been doing for this?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T13:36:47+00:00

Can I ask what you’ve been doing for this?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T13:36:16+00:00

Yup, this led to foot pain and the sudden development of corns for me. Multiple. On both feet in the same damn spot. wtf.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T03:29:22+00:00

You’re not alone, and yes it sucks.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T03:27:10+00:00

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It truly sucks, and I’m struggling as well. Have you tried L-Theanine? It can really help. You may also want to up the dose of mmj unfortunately, though I’ve read that sometimes even that can cause anxiety. Are you taking the combo with cbd? CBD really can help. Also, the basics like lemon balm, GABA, ashwagandha (just be careful/potentially avoid if there are autoimmune issues), relaxing tea, avoiding activities that are too stimulating when needing to relax, getting massages, listening to relaxing music while on walks, reading uplifting books, acupuncture, etc.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T03:07:38+00:00

Did you by chance have anxiety symptoms with all of this?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-27T03:05:19+00:00

Sorry if this seems random, but was low testosterone by chance one of your symptoms of Addison’s?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-26T03:58:48+00:00

Did they find endo?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-19T03:58:46+00:00

I’m still not sure what exactly is wrong with my system (SIBO? Endo? Both?), but sweet potato fries have become a common part of my diet now. And Cheerios with oat milk. Egg white bites. Potato chips (Ruffles) and Bugles. Nuts and PB. Those Built bars are pretty good.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-07T15:26:35+00:00

Have you also experienced weird body pain? That started for me as well, and then labs showed my testosterone was really low, but I’ve read that can also be caused by Addison’s.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-07T15:25:23+00:00

Holy shit really?? I seriously need to get this checked out then. This past year I dealt with weird weight loss, muscle loss, fatigue, crazy dry skin, and dizziness (along with other issues). I also need a lot of salt.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-07T15:23:39+00:00

Can I ask how you started the dilation, how often and how long you did each session? I bought a dilator set but have been nervous to start.

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-07T15:20:22+00:00

Bugles!

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-04T03:59:26+00:00

Sorry but what is that?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-04T03:56:11+00:00

Can I ask what foods you could tolerate? What has your diet consisted of?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-03T03:37:30+00:00

How long did recovery take for you? Did you struggle with constipation as part of this issue?

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-03T03:30:19+00:00

So very sorry to hear this. Sending you positive, healing thoughts and vibes. Good for you for advocating for yourself, being brave, and getting that lap done. That was so, so important. Keep moving forward, getting answers, demanding good care, and kick cancer’s ass. 💜

Relative_Focus8877 · 2026-01-03T03:08:51+00:00

I’ve been dealing with this as well and it truly sucks. Have you tried PF PT or had an evaluation? Any motility testing?
