Depression?
Posted: 11-04-04 18:29pm

Dear very aggravated, I felt so bad for you when I read your plea. I also have started menopause, and yes, it is a pain in the butt. I'm sure if you explain to your husband the change in you hormones, he will be more than patient and understanding. My husband is handling it pretty good. But I must admit, your plea sounded so full of anxiety and even some depression. That is the first thing that jumped out at me when I read it. I would certainly stand my ground with my doctor about the medication. If you are still suffering this much, something is not right. The medication is there to relieve your symptoms, and you do not seem to be getting it. If you have to change doctors, than do so. I'm wondering if the medication is just not right for you. I have friends in menapause, who take medications that work beautifully for them. I personally could not take the same as them as I had the opposite reaction. Just a thought. I am wondering if the medication is hurting instead of helping?

Understanding Women's Health

Normal hormone fluctuations. Hormones are involved in almost every function in the body from the reproductive cycle to how fast your heart beats and your skin grows and wrinkles, how much you remember and how sharp your thinking is, to how much energy you have on any given day. They affect how your bones and muscles grow or disintegrate, normal symptoms of pms, where your body puts on fat, and the strength and direction of all your emotions. In the child bearing years, it is essential for women to understand the impact of normal monthly hormone fluctuations on their quality of life.

Hormone metabolites. The liver is responsible for safely metabolizing and excreting chemicals from our body. The normal metabolism of hormones in our body results in unique ratio of two different metabolites - 2-hydroxyestrone and 16-alphahydroxyestrone. The ratio of these metabolites produced by the liver is unique to every woman. 2-hydroxyestrone is a neutral metabolite produced in a healthier ratio in people who are at a healthy body weight, consume a diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables, and exercise frequently. It is important to incorporate diet and lifestyle choices that help the liver to increase production of healthy metabolites, such as 2-hydroxyestrone, while decreasing production of undesirable metabolites, such as 16-alphahydroxyestrone. These choices should be incorporated into a women's diet and lifestyle from an early age for health benefits throughout life.

Premenstrual syndrome (pms). Periodic bloating, breast discomfort, periodic weight gain, occasional anxiousness, mild mood swings, occasional sleeplessness, decreased concentration, and joint discomfort, all are just a few of the common symptoms of normal premenstrual syndrome. Up to 150 symptoms have been experienced by women and 8 out of 10 women suffer at least some symptoms.

The physical, emotional, and psychological changes that occur in pms coincide with normal changes that occur during the menstrual cycle. Pms is a physiological response to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels that occur just prior to menstruation. It is clear that nutrition and exercise can significantly affect pms symptoms, and the tremendous increase of poor nutrition and sedentary lifestyle parallels the increase in pms symptoms.

Perimenopausal symptoms. Occasional bleeding through the menstrual cycle, achy joints, hot flashes, a temporary and minor decrease in the ability to concentrate or recall, changes in sexual desire, sweating, frequent urination, frequent wakening in the night, vaginal dryness, night sweats, occasional anxiousness and mild mood swings are just a few of the symptoms that affect women in this time of life. In addition to these symptoms that are generally associated with the perimenopause years, some women experience many symptoms associated with pms. Any one or multiple symptoms can last from 8 to 10 years, and women may experience just a few symptoms or none at all.

Postmenopausal symptoms. Absentmindedness, vaginal dryness, frequent urination, frequent wakening in the night, decreased sexual desire, slowed recall or concentration, these are some of the common symptoms women in the post menopause phase of life experience.

There is a lot of products out there that can help you. If you do a lot of research, you will find what you need. I have personally found a three phase product lile that I now market. Phase one is for women in their child bearing years. Phase two is for women in menopause and phase three is for women in their post-menopause years.
Science is out there, you just have to find it.

Yours in health,

stephane
