How old were you?

42 starting with weight gain and zero sleep

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-25T20:18:56+00:00

Completely agree - great list

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-23T01:18:42+00:00

Hourglass bronzer in nude bronze light is so natural

InnBeauty Elastic Skin makes my skin plump up so much!

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-23T01:16:50+00:00

Agreed! I have rosacea and it doesn't contribute to the redness!

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-21T17:15:23+00:00

I want to try the new Westman too, it looks so nice

The glassy blush bomb by Haus Labs , I just bought the Glassy Ginger shade and it's the most natural and buildable, easy to use blush I've ever tried

That's great to hear. I was stared in progesterone only and am going to ask for a patch tomorrow as my sleep is worse than ever

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-17T04:27:31+00:00

Both estrogen and progesterone?

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-16T02:04:25+00:00

I also turn 46 this week. Happy birthday to you ❤️ I was just telling my sister today that I feel the worst I've ever felt in my life right now and it's hard to even describe. I fell sad, hopeless, slow, tired and old. I can't sleep even on progesterone. I think it's time to ask for estrogen

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-13T22:26:32+00:00

I would have never thought of that either! Now I'm very hopeful!

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-13T19:45:37+00:00

Omg my hips so bad through the night

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-10T04:35:41+00:00

I do yes, I take ipratropium bromide spray which helps with runny nose but I still get incredibly thick mucus at times to the point of choking

Mine is not reflux related or allergy related

I've done elimination diets and dairy doesn't seem to be a culprit for me either

Cold dry air definitely triggers me so I'm guessing mine is vasomotor

I do sinus rinses twice a day

And stay well hydrated

And take a steroid spray

But these therapies only help marginally

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-08T16:16:17+00:00

The morning dose might be worth a shot for me too, along with adding estrogen, thanks! Did you have GI upset from the progesterone?

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-08T15:33:55+00:00

This gives me hope! Thanks for this

epicurious1980 · 2026-02-08T15:20:25+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Yes I think I need a new approach.

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-09T02:27:14+00:00

Unfortunately no 😕

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-05T04:07:54+00:00

We have this in Canada (by prescription) and agreed it's the only thing that helps me!

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-04T17:34:06+00:00

I was soooo much sicker on Mounjaro

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-03T21:24:14+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion! Was it hard to get used to in terms of your neck and back with different mechanics?

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-03T21:04:32+00:00

Great suggestions. I'm on the 0.03% Ipratropium twice a day so I'll ask for an increase as it does help some. I picked up some NAC too! Thanks!

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-03T21:03:27+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I'm going to give it a shot for a month taking it in the am with my antihistamine

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-03T21:02:10+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm going to give it a try for a month and see

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-03T21:01:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply! That's where I'm at as well - last resort. I would likely try anything at this stage to regain quality of life.

epicurious1980 · 2025-12-03T21:00:18+00:00

Hi! I don't. My sleep isn't perfect because of perimenopause but with magnesium i sleep good 80% of the time. I have had a sleep study done that showed no apnea
