Menopause!!! - Page 2 - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

**harrysmom** · 09-09-2010, 12:18 PM

There's a gynecological group in Maine called women-to-women. They have a
herbal supplement that they market for hormone control as part of a program that they offer. There was a thread here on SM about this group a month or so ago. I have never tried their supplements, but I think that I would definitely look into this if I needed it. Here's the link: Women to Women — Changing women's health — naturally

I'm 51... all of my friends and my sister have already been through menopause and I have absolutely no signs or symptoms yet... so I don't know what I'll encounter, but I'm definitely not looking forward to it. I hope that you find something that works for you, soon!!

Yes there is. You can get a product over the counter called "Estroven". It is a dietary supplement and contains herbs and it really works. If you have a Rite Aid in your area that's where I get mine and I get the Rite Aid brand which is a lot cheaper. It is called extra strength menopause support. Look on the box and it says compare to Estroven. This can be taken safely and you don't have to worry about the cancer risks associated with some hormones.

There are natrual soy products. Go to a health food store and ask about that. I hear they help the insomnia that is due to menopause too.

OMG its so funny you posted this. I have a doctors appointment today
for the same thing. I don't know if it's meopause or what but my mood
swings are horrible, then I get depressed going off the deep end. It just
not pms anymore it's all blending together. I'll be 48 soon, not having
hot flashes or miss periods but it's the mood swings.

Sometimes
I honestly think there is something

seriously wrong with me. Hopefully the doctor will be able to help. All I can say is my poor husband he's the one who has to put up with it

I am just getting to that stage too. Everything out there is pretty complicated, don't take this, don't take that, etc etc. I am thinking of going to a clinic that specializes.

Not sure soy is considered good anymore in the studies now. You really shouldn't take it if you are on thyroid medication as it can mess everything up.

Yes you certainly can get depressed, have moods swings and a gazillion other things. I recently have started to have more flushing, and am having terrible sinus and top of the head pain. Weirdly when I googled it, it came up with Menopause...... I was shocked.

Debbie -- I had asked a couple of weeks ago if anyone was familiar with this website: Women to Women — Changing women's health — naturally

It seems to have such good information on this problem. I did end up sending for their program and will give it 90 days and see how I do on it.

Kat you have many years to go before getting to this. Hopefully when YOU reach menopause they have something better for it.
