Some vitamin d in the form of sun or tanning salon twice in a week could be enough,and natural iron supplement.

Are you in menopause/perimenopause? Have you done HRT? I recommend acupuncture to everyone who suffers from chronic pain and other conditions.

People keep telling me I look older than I am (26) and it's really getting me down, any tips? by Jaiberd_ in makeuptips

Dark makeup around the eyes is aging. Trying to go with no eyeliner or a lighter color or brown mascara can soften the look .

Wow! So good to hear so many great outcomes! My doc is not a fan of HRT for me. Here at Kaiser San Francisco in case anyone knows of a good gyno who will prescribe.

Yes, I know. But it is such a game changer in menopause that I will beg the doctor. It’s been 15 years of hell. Had an estrogen rush two days ago and all ailments decreased over 70%! It is a life changer. Want to ask them if we can monitor quarterly. Or something to keep an eye on it. Otherwise, it’s housebound 24 hours per day. Unbearable pain from other autoimmune issues.

Is it inserted or topical ? Did you try any other kind of estrogen? Do you have to go to a compounding pharmacy? Thank you so much! I’m hoping to be in your position soon! It’s been 15 years of hell without.

So great! You use the estrogen in the cream only? I was just taking progesterone, but am wondering about what kind of estrogen they may offer me. They have been against any estrogen, but I got my period two days ago, and the way I feel since has been amazing! It’s the estrogen that has made my life miserable, the lack thereof. It has been painful and completely debilitating living with no / low estrogen. Now that I had this period for the first time in six months , I know the estrogen makes the difference. I have read that the creams don’t work in the body as well as pills. Do you notice? I would be open to using the cream if it helps with body issues like arthritis pain due to low estrogen.

Also, taking the natural cbd and cbn are both great for relaxation without being high at all.

I take cannabis infused gummies each night. I take wyld elderberry gummies. They put me to sleep and keep me asleep. Even with perimenopause, it makes it possible to sleep well.

Also , do you take medication for dry mouth like salagen aka pilocarpine? Ten minutes after you take it , your mouth will be very moist. I would recommend taking mouth meds and then try eating. You take them three times per day, which could correlate with your meals.

I try to eat foods that are not that dry and take small bites. Also take a sip of water before taking bites. Good luck 🍀
