My rage and hot flashes are gone. But the weight I gained in still with me, and I'm still a DD cup (B-c up until 45. I'm 54)
In my case, diet and intermittent fasting have made a difference, but I fell off all my wagon when I was laid off, and even though I got a great new job quickly the impact was made and I gained the 8 pounds I lost. |

I'm 52 and also deal with Hashi's. I have been having trouble with midcycle spotting, heavy periods, and even extra periods. After a bad summer and a referral to an obgyn that immediately suggested a hysterectomy....I walked away from the US medical system for dealing with my perimenopause.
I dabbled in homeopathy (which didn't help much) and have gotten the most help from a naturalpath. Within about 2 weeks I started feeling much much better. I seem to also do best eating a Paleo type diet. I know we're not supposed to say that...but it's anti inflamatory and keeps things calm. Next thing I'm working on is caffeine.

Oh for me it was definitely a symptom. It's horrible. It can happen for no reason for me....I was at work by myself the other day and so no one was there to make me angry and well I had a seething rage going on inside myself LOL It's really horrible actually. I can't talk myself out of it I just have to keep my mouth shut and it will pass. Sometimes faster then others but I have not control over it.

Does anyone else feel like they have a greater understanding and empathy for mental illness, after the meno rollercoaster?
I feel like some people (men, mostly) just don't get mental illness or feel it's within someone's ability to control their depression, anxiety, etc. After so many mood changes from hormones, I totally understand the chemical component behind it. |
