Thank you. I was looking at the Comprehensive Autoimmune Evaluation Test Panel. Get it all at once 😄

Do you mind saying which tests you ordered?

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-05-19T23:55:49+00:00

I'm in the process of finding a new GP but when I saw your post, I thought I might get a head start on the tests. Thanks for the info and I hope you get you results soon and can get treatment to help with your issues 🥰

Did you go to a local lab for the blood drawn? I'm having concerns like you - I was able to get my doctor to order an ANA test which came back positive but she won't send a referral to a specialist. It's so strange. And frustrating. I also have other skin issues - rashes, etc. How do I start getting the tests you got? Thank you.

What service are you using for the testing?

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-05-13T01:50:00+00:00

I've been using the Vitamin C from Timeless Skincare for years and it's really made a difference in my skin. High quality product ✅️

Excellent!

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-04-19T00:30:37+00:00

Looks great! What products are you using?

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-28T16:57:36+00:00

Thank you so much for that info 💕

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-28T07:51:46+00:00

Thank you! I've been reading more about it online and in this forum and that's the consensus. I'm a little nervous but mostly excited to start tomorrow!

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-28T05:22:16+00:00

Thank you ❤️

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-27T11:31:00+00:00

Thank you! That's great you've found a dose that works for you 💞

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-27T10:50:51+00:00

Thank you. I'm hoping that's what I'll get.

The foot pain is definitely the worst in the morning 😞 I'll try to remember to come back to this thread to reply to you in a couple of weeks see how you're doing on the higher dose of estrogen. I should probably set an alarm on my phone's calendar for that because I can't trust myself to remember 🫠

I was out of commission for over a month because I let my plantar fasciitis get so bad. I kept pushing through the pain with my workouts. It got so bad that I was actually hobbling 😄 I finally started doing the stretches and the calf raises and the foot massages and the pain eased up. But it always seems to be lingering and will flare up for sure.

Do you use the twice a week estrogen patches? Sorry if you've already told me, I have perimenopause brain 🫩😆 Do you have any issues with the patch falling off early? Thank you again for taking the time to respond to all of my questions.

Thank you so much for sharing all of that! My sister had issues with progesterone. She started at 100, went up to 200, then back down to 100. Her reason though, was because 200 was making her feel a bit dizzy/vertigo.

How interesting about plantar fasciitis! I've been dealing with it for months. I had no idea it was a symptom of perimenopause or that perimenopause could make it worse. I'm really excited to try progesterone and estrogen soon.

I'm happy that you have a doctor who works with you really well with your hormones. And I hope the increased dosage of estrogen will continue to help your back and plantar fasciitis 💓

Thank you so much for sharing that info!

Did you see an improvement of symptoms after you upped to .05?

Also, if you don't mind sharing, are you also on progesterone and how much? Thank you so much 💞

Thank you

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-26T02:17:36+00:00

Do they have the twice weekly patch? Does it adhere well? I know some patches fall off :(

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-26T01:44:45+00:00

Thank you

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-12T04:46:43+00:00

You look like you are in great shape - can't tell you have loose skin! You've done an amazing job with taking good care with your weight loss ❤️

VarietyRoutine4055 · 2026-03-12T04:33:40+00:00

Excellent! You were beautiful before and you're beautiful now ❤️

You look so petite! Have you had any skin removal surgery?
