Can Peri-Menopause Reverse?
Comments (3)Boy, can I relate to this post. I could of wrote this myself. I had an FSH of 29 two years ago, along with horrible symptoms of irregular heartbeats , extreme anxiety, Insomnia...on and on. The Doc said early Menopause, I had it retested last month, it was 4 !!!!! I had the same reaction as you... I am expecting the worst, as some of my symptoms have lessened , now I am thinking it will all start over full force. I had waited to re-test the FSH , and thought that maybe I was Post , as I have felt somewhat better with some of the symptoms... I had my Uterus removed 15 years ago, so no periods to help establish where I am in all this. I am confused as to what this all means just like you, You are the first one I have found to have the same issue, sorry for you, but a relief for me to have someone to talk to !! I am wondering if it has something to do with he Thyroid.. as I am Hypothyroid, with Hashimotos Disease. I was curious before, but now I see you have Thyroid issues also, wondering if there is a connection... the Thyroid is part of the Endocrine system like the Ovaries ... Anyways, I feel like I am rambling.. just know that you are not alone, and I hope you fee better knowing that someone else is dealing with the same craziness, I know I sure do. Peace, Rebecca...See MoreExcessive Sweating Might Be Thyroid
Comments (0)Several years ago, during a check-up, my GP thought my thyroid looked swollen. He ordered a sonogram of my neck but it was normal. Now, years later, after my successful kidney transplant, I've been having both night and day sweats. My face drips, I need to change my shirt several times a day. My kidney specialist felt my neck and found a very small nodule (one centimeter). He told me to get another scan and see an Endocrinologist. Just letting everyone know heavy sweating is not always from menopause. My last period was in 2007 and my gynecologist says everything down there is normal....See MoreOrganic_Donna - How's the Armour working?
Comments (20)vickij, Check out the forum that I linked in one of my above posts. Also check out Mary Shomon's site and Stop The Thyroid Maddness site. There is so much info on Armour. bigbaby, I commend you for trying to live a more healthy lifestyle. There is a lot of info to help you learn about a natural life. I like Dr. Andrew Weil's books. As far as eating, try to eat foods in their natural state, i.e. from the ground, the sky, the water, not a box, bag or can. Eat a lot of fish, brown rice, fruit, vegetables, nuts, olive oil, small amounts of antibiotic free meats, whole wheat pasta, (unless you are going gluten free), organic dark chocolate, 60% or higher Cocoa. STAY AWAY from sugar, too much dairy, chips and all junk foods, cookies, cakes etc., meats injected with growth hormones, soft drinks, juices, alchohol, anything out of a box, bag, (except frozen veggies), or can. You get the picture. Try and walk daily and live a stress free lifestyle. Listen to your body!!! If something doesn't feel right find out why. Western medicine loves to throw pills at any symptom. Sometimes pills are a necessary evil. Most times a lifestyle change would benefit more. Do you know what the number one risk factor for heart disease and cancer is? Constipation. That's why diet is so important. You only have this one body. Put the best foods you can afford in it. Organic is best if you can pay the prices. Nourish your body with fresh healthy foods and it will give you many years of vitality. Try and keep stress levels low and get a good nights sleep.

Comments (1)No, I've never worked shift work and I'm not at all familiar with the studies you link. I was diagnosed with Graves in 1992, Hashimoto's about 10 years later, pretty much on the 'schedule' my endo had told me to expect. We treated Graves conservatively, PTU orally and it went into remission over time, now years later I take levothyroxine daily. Truthfully, I wasn't particularly ill with either disease, it was more like I was functioning but with a lot of little health annoyances :) - of course with annual screening, the Hashimoto's was detected and given attention early. I didn't have time to become too symptomatic, my doctor caught the change right away....See Moredskoeltzowx_aol_com
