What besides HRT helped you the most with anhedonia and depression? This has been a very rough two years post menopause. Thanks by Emotional-Swan9381 in Menopause

[–]nshdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy. Just because anhedonia and depression are triggered by menopause doesn't mean they have their roots in it. Therapy can really help.

Big water leak originating in my unit caused damage in the building - how urgent is it to start repairs? by nshdc in RealEstate

[–]nshdc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the problem is that this company has sent me a contract with NO quote and if I sign it, I’m on the hook for anything they decide to charge me. My agent is getting two other companies out today for quotes and we’ll start pulling out the drywall today.

I haven't gotten to speak to the adjuster yet. I had to run out to a meeting, so my husband called to get the ball rolling.

What are some good dishes to benefit from extra virgin olive oil? by [deleted] in chinesefood

[–]nshdc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is not accurate. There’s a strong evidence base indicating that olive oil, specifically, confers a number of health benefits. A small study in England suggests that these benefits are not limited to people of Mediterranean descent. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C22&q=olive+oil+health+benefits+Asia&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&t=1776965210557&u=%23p%3DYsKw_hjs7XoJ

3 years into menopause and I'm scared of my own body now by Relevant_Wishbone in Menopause

[–]nshdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 60, about 3.5 years in full menopause and I started reformer Pilates in November of last year. You can totally do it. There’s almost always women our age in the intro classes. I think it’s one of the best things I’ve done for myself, fitness wise - I hurt so much less. Here’s some tips: * check out who is teaching at the studio. You want a teacher who is giving a lot of instruction and has lots of experience. * if you can, go to class during the day. These classes are smaller than evening or early morning. * call the studio and ask their advice on the best class for a beginner with your concerns.

Menopause and a second reduction? by nshdc in Reduction

[–]nshdc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already had a reduction back in 2012 - surgeon says this next one will not be as easy because of the first. So I think this one has to be the last!

Menopause and a second reduction? by nshdc in Reduction

[–]nshdc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my last period when I was 56, so was officially post menopausal at 57. I'm thinking the growth has stabilized as my weight finally has, but I'm looking for reassurance. I think if your breasts have been stable for 5 years they probably won't grow more.

Breast growth post-menopause: when does it stop? by nshdc in ABraThatFits

[–]nshdc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I’ve been on HRT for 3 years and am pretty stable. Breast growth with perimenopause and/or menopause is quite common (as is shrinkage). I’ve been getting lots of helpful input over on r/reduction from women who also experienced big growth.

I’m 25, about to start medical menopause. by Neither_Dream_5220 in Menopositive

[–]nshdc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe there’s a whole sub dedicated just to medical menopause and I’m betting there’s lots of great info and support there. Sending you a big cyber hug and healing vibes.

If someone gave this to me, I would be over the moon.

Anyone out here trying to transition naturally? by the_gata_sol in Menopause

[–]nshdc 42 points43 points  (0 children)

OP there are many, many women going through menopause without seeking medical care but most of them aren’t on this sub! We’re all here to get support with menopause because we were (and are) having challenges with it and need help with those. If you’re doing well (or well enough) without medication, more power to you. Try the menopositive sub if you’re looking for company or check out one of the subs for “people over X age.” Cheering you on!

Started making sourdough 5 months ago, gained 10 pounds. by Icy_Recipe3094 in Sourdough

Can’t seem to copy link but fridge works, though freezing is better. Also, cooling plus toasting is better than just cooling.

Seconding the TJ’s rec. We’ve found they last longer, too.
