I would recommend looking into Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy... it's where you get your hormones tested via a saliva test and based on the results, a compounding pharmacy makes up a specific cream to balance the hormones you're low in. Suzanne Somers has a really good book called "Ageless" that tells all about it... and lists doctors who do the therapy that you can go to. I'm pursuing this right now...and I can't wait to start it! The hormones are all made from plants, have been studied scientifically, and followed, and not found to have any side effects... I looked into it thoroughly. Also, go to Dr. Brownstein's website from Detroit Michigan for a short video interview telling about it more.
Hi Linda!
I would highly recommend that you try Wisdom Menopause Formula. I was suffering from many of the same symptoms you mention after coming off of HRT, and I can tell you from personal experience that it really does work!
For me it took care of the hot flashes and night sweats very quickly, and within a month or so I noticed that my mood swings, anxiety and stress levels were much better. My overall sense of well-being has made a huge improvement as well, and I’m able to actually get some sleep instead of lying awake for hours, driving myself crazy with worry over stupid, insignificant things that I knew would amount to nothing.
I have recommended it to a lot of friends and family, and I personally know of six women who are taking it now, and so far I’ve heard nothing but praise. It’s a liquid - it looks like water and has kind of an herbal taste, but not bad. There are a lot of herbal menopause products out there, but if you want something that really makes difference, I’d really suggest that you give Wisdom a try.
Take care!
Lisa
