Hi Sheila,
Since you are not taking HRT I hope you are excercising alot and taking calcium with D and Magnesium so you will not get osteoporosis. Have you had a bone scan lately?
I agree with you on the no muss no fuss. Its been great for me since my middle 30s and I am now 49. But I went into full blown Menopause at 40.....yikes! I tried all types of HRT for 2 years and all it caused me was pain and swelling and weight gain.....it was horrible. I have been taking herbal photoestrogens for 7 years now and I am doing great.....no weight gain..if fact I lost the weight i gained from the HRT.
What type of Thyroid meds do you take. I was taking Synthroid then found out it causes bone loss so i switched to Armour Thyroid ( a prescription) which is natural pig thyroid...nothing synthetic like synthroid.
Sorry to hear about your father. My mom and dad are still with us and we make sure we spend time with them every week.
Have a great day.
Patricia

Hi Di...... How are you? I'm Sheila, I don't know how
long this menopause stuff last but at least for me the
periods have stopped now!!!! Thank God for that!!!! And
I too have hypothryodism... I take a version of synthroid
daily and as far as I know all's well with that! I still
have my PMS moods once in a great while now but that's
about it! I love menopause!!! no muss no fuss!!! I
can't take the hormone meds the doctor said I was to high
risk for breast cancer since that's what my FATHER died
from. It's extremely rare in men but they do get it! Of
course he was embarrassed by it and told everybody he had
lung cancer but being the macho man he was back in the
70's when he died I can understand it! So email me again
if you'd like to chat! Take care! Sheila
