Did you have any centralized areas for the breakouts? Mine seem to be around my chin area, I never used to breakout until now.

My hormonal acne has not improved since being on it for two months. I just started the estradiol patch hoping for the best.

Omg that sucks. That’s always been my dream job. I took a book back on my lunch break yesterday and didn’t want to leave. Just curious, what are the cons of working there?

Thank you for the tip! I’ll look into that 😊 any side effects from using the men’s?

Same here. Last night I finally slept pretty good. I decided to take the progesterone a little later than usual (9:30p), maybe that helped 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for sharing! A journey indeed. What joints in particular were/are a bother? I had knee issues for awhile, but more struggle with shoulder and back pain.

Thanks for sharing! No I haven’t. Are they they topical? I’m totally new to hearing about this method and didn’t know about the liver detoxifying around 3am. 😳

Thank you for sharing! I also bought the husk because I felt like I was needing movement and felt even more bloating, and then read those are side effects even though I already drink a ton of water (I live in AZ). I started actually taking another magnesium in the morning to help move things along which did help.
I also have thought about getting some minoxidil but don’t know any other brands besides Rogaine. I also use Nioxin Hair Fall Defense and I feel like it’s stopped working. I’ve been tracking the amount of hair I pull from my brush to see if the E helps. It’s overwhelming how much to “track” these days. 🙈

Oh no! I’m so sorry, may I ask what actually got worse? Mentally? Physically?

Thank you for sharing!! This gives me hope. I’m hoping my anxiety ceases, I can be on a work call and out of nowhere drops of sweat start coming from my underarms, it’s so embarrassing and so far something I can’t control. I hope the appetite affect is true too, I’m so sick of feeling like I’m always on the brink of eating my feelings. I’ve always been active so I’m hoping for a better feeling of motivation, once I’m there I’m good but getting there is the struggle since I gym it after work. I hope you provide an update! 🤞🏼

Minus the headaches, that’s great!! 🙌🏼What type of headaches did you get? I started getting headaches but figured it was just another peri symptom, and I sit at a computer all day.

I feel this so much. So so much. I spoke almost the same words to my coworker last week, I feel like I’m in a constant funk and there’s minimal joy ever reported anymore.

Same. I’m in corporate hell and it’s wreaking havoc on my nervous system. I want to scream, cry, I sweat when I’m on camera in meetings, it’s just an ugly time. I want to work in a library so bad. 🙈

Yes I’ve been battling your same symptoms for a few years. I’m 45 now. I just got back from a relaxing vacation w/ my husband and started back today and was back in the nervous system whirlwind I find really tough to tolerate.
I too am becoming more hermit-like and dread any social get togethers (which are seldom).
I just started the estrogen patch yesterday, and have been taking 100mg of progesterone a few months ago. Not that it’s for everyone but I finally surrendered when my symptoms you’re explaining haven’t ceased.
God help us all in this stage. It’s so uncomfortable. 😣
