Do You Have A Perimenopause Symptom?

Just When Life Was Getting Good, Along Comes Perimenopause!!

Think you might be going through perimenopause? Are you in your mid to late thirties and feel that something just isn't quite right with your body? You haven't changed your eating habits and are still exercising, at least as much as you usually do, but you are gaining weight. You have lost some of your sex drive (like all of it) and your skin is dry and not as smooth as it use to be? Your breast have become sore and lumpy, especially right before your period, and your periods have become irregular. Lately you have been irritable and snappish (sometimes even mean and spiteful; mine got this bad). You are no longer that even-tempered person you thought you were.

What is going on??????? It's called PERIMENOPAUSE. That would mean that you might have to live with this for around ten years! Sheeesh!

Natural Menopause Relief Secrets

You could be one of fifty million women who are going through perimenopause right now. These symptoms are usually the result of hormone imbalances; most of them caused by an excess of hormone estrogen and a deficiency of the hormone progesterone. Natural progesterone is essential for maintaining hormone balance. Perimenopause is not just about a woman's bio-chemistry, it is also about a woman who is struggling to balance work and family, women who forget that they need to take care of themselves, and not getting the proper treatment from their health care provider.

Women often arrive at a doctor's office because of fatigue, mood swings, loss of sex drive, and depression and she is likely to leave with a prescription for estrogen or a birth control pills.

This is a list of side effects consistently noticed in women taking all combinations of birth control pills:

*Six times greater risk of getting a blood clot in a blood vessel

*Four times greater risk of dying from a stroke (blood clot or broken blood vessel in the brain)

*Four times the risk of heart attack

*Three times the risk of headaches

*Double the risk of migraine headaches

*Double the risk of high blood pressure

*Double the risk of dying from cancer, especially cervical, breast, and endometrial cancer, in women 25 to 50 years old

*Increased risk of ovarian cancer

*Increased risk of osteoporosis

*Increased cancer risk in smokers, especially melanoma and lung cancer

*Increased risk of ovarian cysts, infections, urinary tract problems, epilepsy, infertility, Crohn's disease, pituitary tumors, and schizophrenia

Just a personal note here: I took the birth control for only about a total of three years, I was in my early twenties. I had three mini stokes caused from taking the birth control pill. Over the years I have suffered from headaches and at times I have had migraines that have kept me in bed for a week at a time. An at the age of 42 I suffered another mini stroke. The decisions we make early in life will come back to haunt us later. So take care of yourself, if you have make mistakes in the past with your decisions, start today on making the right ones. I have two boys that I want to see graduate from college and have a family and be there to help spoil my grandchildren, God willing.

Many doctors also prescribe Prozac, Zoloft or another type of anti-depressant. But what their bodies really need is the hormone progesterone. Most doctor's prescribe personality altering drugs or synthetic hormones.

Here is what I can tell you from personal experiences and that is that these drugs don't always work. My doctor prescribed several anti-depressants for me to try to relieve some of the symptoms. I was forty-one at the time that the severest symptoms started and I felt that I needed to consult a doctor for help. I felt that he didn't quite take me seriously. I even mentioned that I felt I was expierenceing perimenopause, and being a male, he avoided the subject.

The closer women get to menopausal age, the harder conventional medical doctors will try to push you to use estrogen. One of the most bizarre consequences of medical information created by drug companies is the use of the word estrogen. They use it to mean hormone replacement therapy. The miracles of estrogen are touted in the information released to the media. If you go back and read the study and the research that it was based on, you will almost always find that the women were also taking synthetic progesterone-like compounds called progestins. This is deliberately misleading and is an attempt to underplay the dangers of estrogen.

Estrogen is a wonderful and useful hormone to be used with great care only when necessary, in very small amounts, and only in it's natural form. The primary symptons of true estrogen deficiency are hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. An estrogen deficiency can also cause, fatigue, memory problems, and foggy thinking, but estrogen dominance can cause the same symptoms.

Estrogen deficiency symptoms can often be relieved with lifestyle changes such as an increase in exercise and dietary changes, and by using some natural progesterone, which is a precursor to estrogen. Excess estrogen is processed in the liver, so if your liver function is compromised by drinking too much alcohol or using prescription drugs, your estrogen levels will be higher. This is why estrogen dominance can sometimes be cleared up simply by making some Healthy Lifestyle, changes.

What Can I Do To Get Rid Of My Perimenopause Symptom Or Symptoms?

A good Natural Progesterone Cream may help to protect you against breast cancer, osteoporosis, endometrial cancer and fibrocytic breast disease. It acts as a natural antidepressant, and it may also increase your sex drive (and hubby goes wooohooo!)

Many middle-ages women lack this valuable hormone, which may result in an epidemic of anxiety, depression and fatigue. Lack of progesterone may also be setting women up for potentially lethal diseases.

Synthetic progesterones have similar protective effects as natural progesterone; however, they may produce adverse reactions. See my page on Menopause about the side effects of synthetics.

Taking certain vitamins and supplements and herbs will greatly reduce any of the adverse symptoms of perimenopause. Click Here for a list of what can help.

So don't worry, you're not going crazy.It's Perimenopause! It's just part of nature that we women must embrace and endure. Now if you can get hubby to embrace and endure, it should be a breeze!
