It's been 3 months since I've had a period and the hot flashes are finally gone. I am taking a vitamin pack from Melaleuca, taking Estroval from Melaleuca, started using a progesterone cream from Dr. Colbert online and a pill called Pregnenolone. I take 10 mg. a day. I have also started taking Transitions weight management supplement, one a day. The other thing that's helped is I have eliminated wheat from my diet. I stopped taking birth control to feel better from the peri menopause because it was causing dizziness and I was gaining weight, having headaches, and just did not feel good. I feel better now than I have felt in years. I am sleeping again almost 5 to 6 hours straight which is much better than the previous 2 hours I was getting. I also see my chiropractor regularly and have been doing this for at least 20 years. Plus have gone green with all my cleaning products and personal hygiene products. These items I buy direct from Melaleuca as well. If you want to sign up post a comment and I will tell you how. I have started to lose a little weight but mainly inches. I was taking Tapazole for a year and my Endocrinologist took me off Nov 1st. So, I'm basically living a pretty healthy life. I also take Flaxseed daily, Cod Liver Oil, and drink lots of water. I do not drink soda at all. I do drink decaf coffee occasionally and all kinds of teas. I rarely eat fast food and do not fry my meat. I only shop Trader Joes foods or all natural products from the grocery store when at all possible. Yes, I do sometimes have sweets but I normally buy them from Traders. I hope you ladies out there that are going through the change can find help in some of these remedies and suggestions.
God bless us all this Christmas.
