i wanna know more about svsss menopause

They synced their periods together too well. Now they are synced through their perimenopause years.

[itlnbrt]

At my age, I know a lot of women that are either suffering from bad periods every month or menopausal symptoms. I’ve used OVA-M for a month and a half and I’m finally starting to feel myself and those premenopausal symptoms are under control. I had no idea how bad those symptoms would get. Women don’t talk about this enough. I found through this journey that it is important to share so we know what to expect. I also never had really bad periods until I started perimenopause but after talking to a lot of my girlfriends, I found that many women suffer from tons of different types of period issues every month. Some are debilitating. I have a couple of friends who have been taking OVA for bad periods and are having an easier period. It is so important for me to feel myself and before taking these healthy, nontoxic supplements, I felt like someone had taken over my body. Mood swings, fatigue, joint pain, horrible periods, and just not recognizing myself. All those symptoms were to the extreme. Take control of the things that seem so uncontrollable.

Navigating the Menopause Journey: A Guide to Menopause Supplements and Vitamins

Subtitle 1: Understanding the Menopause Phase

Menopause is a natural transition in a woman's life, signifying the end of her reproductive years. This significant phase comes with a range of physical and emotional changes, including hot flashes, mood swings, and hormonal fluctuations. Menopause supplements and vitamins are becoming increasingly popular for women seeking relief and support during this transition. In this article, we'll explore the world of menopause tablets, vitamins for menopause, and how they can help women manage this transformative period.

Subtitle 2: The Role of Menopause Tablets

Menopause tablets are formulated to address various symptoms and challenges associated with this stage in a woman's life. They can offer numerous benefits:

1. Hormone Regulation: Many menopause tablets contain ingredients that help regulate hormonal imbalances, reducing common symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings.

2. Bone Health: Menopause can lead to decreased bone density. Some tablets are fortified with calcium and vitamin D to support bone health.

3. Heart Health: Cardiovascular health can be a concern during menopause. Specific tablets contain heart-healthy ingredients like omega-3 fatty acids.

Subtitle 3: Understanding Menopace ISO Tablet*

Menopace ISO tablet is a renowned supplement specifically designed for women going through menopause. Let's explore why it's highly regarded:

1. Comprehensive Support: Menopace ISO provides comprehensive support, addressing key concerns like hormonal balance, bone health, and heart health.

2. Essential Nutrients: This tablet contains essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids.

3. Hormonal Balance: Menopace ISO helps manage hormonal imbalances, reducing the severity of common menopausal symptoms.

Subtitle 4: Menopause Supplements for Vitality*

Menopause supplements are designed to alleviate specific symptoms and enhance overall well-being during this phase:

1. Vitamins for Menopause Fatigue: B-vitamins are commonly included in supplements to combat fatigue and boost energy levels, addressing one of the most common complaints during menopause.

2. Best Supplements for Menopause Joint Pain: Joint pain is another common issue. Supplements with anti-inflammatory ingredients, like omega-3 fatty acids and turmeric, can help alleviate joint discomfort.

3. Supplements for Vaginal Dryness: Some women experience vaginal dryness during menopause. Supplements with ingredients like vitamin E and evening primrose oil can help address this concern.

Subtitle 5: Perimenopause Gummies: A Convenient Option*

Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading to menopause, and it often comes with its set of challenges. Perimenopause gummies are a convenient and tasty way to manage this stage:

1. Hormone Support: Gummies for perimenopause often contain phytoestrogens, which mimic the effects of estrogen, helping regulate hormonal fluctuations.

2. Stress Reduction: Adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha are sometimes included in perimenopause gummies to reduce stress and anxiety.

3. Skin and Hair Health: Ingredients like biotin and collagen can improve skin and hair health, which may be affected during perimenopause.

Subtitle 6: Choosing the Right Menopause Supplements*

Selecting the right menopause tablets or supplements is essential for addressing your specific needs:

1. Identify Your Symptoms: Determine which menopausal symptoms are most bothersome for you, whether it's hot flashes, fatigue, joint pain, or mood swings.

2. Quality Matters: Opt for products from reputable brands known for their commitment to quality and safety.

3. Read Labels: Carefully read the labels to understand the ingredients and dosage of the supplements.

4. Consult a Professional: If you have unique health concerns or dietary restrictions, consult with a healthcare professional or a nutritionist for personalized recommendations.

Subtitle 7: Incorporating Menopause Supplements into Your Routine

Incorporating menopause supplements or vitamins into your daily health routine is simple:

Consistency: Take your supplements daily, following the recommended dosage on the packaging.

Balanced Diet: While supplements provide essential nutrients, maintaining a balanced diet is also crucial for overall health.

Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is key to the absorption and effectiveness of vitamins and minerals, so drink plenty of water.

On Power, and on Powering Through, and Why They’re Really Not the Same

I don’t pay much attention to personal attacks in reviews. It comes as the flipside of success; an attempt by the critic to puncture what they see as too much success. But I still remember one review, just after the film of Chocolat, when two of my novels happened to be in the Top 5 at the same time, in which a (male) newspaper critic referred to me dismissively as a premenopausal woman writer. I was a little taken aback. Clearly, it was meant to disparage, but I was only 35, ten years away from the perimenopause. What exactly did he mean? It wasn’t a comment about the book (which I doubt he had even read). The obvious misogyny aside, it seemed to express resentment, not of my books, but of me, myself, my right to take up space in his world. That word – premenopausal – was at the same time a comment on my age, my looks, my value, and a strong suggestion that someone like me shouldn’t be this successful, shouldn’t be writing bestsellers, shouldn’t be so – visible.

I don’t recall the name of the man, or the paper for which he was writing. He was far from being the only journalist who felt I didn’t deserve success. I shrugged off the unpleasant comment, but he’d meant it to hurt, and it did. I still wonder why he – and his editor - thought that was appropriate. I also wonder why, 20 years on, women are still dealing with this kind of thing. It’s still not enough for a woman to be successful in her chosen field. Whatever her achievements, you can be pretty sure that at some point, some man in his 50s or 60s – maybe an Oxbridge graduate, author of an unpublished novel or two - will offer his opinion on her desirability, either in the national Press, or most likely nowadays, by means of social media. The subtext is clear: women who don’t conform to societal values of what a woman should be are asking for this kind of treatment; especially those who dare to achieve more than their detractors.

10 years after that nasty review, I finally began the journey into perimenopause. No-one told me it was happening. No-one in the media was talking about it at the time. Even my doctor never thought to mention that my symptoms – the insomnia, headaches, mood swings, anxiety, depression, sleep paralysis, hair loss, brown patches on my skin – might have a single origin. I began to feel I was losing my mind: as if I were starting to disappear. I started to doubt my own senses. I blamed it all on the stress from my job. My mother had powered through menopause – or so she led me to believe – and made no secret of her contempt for modern women who complained, or treated the symptoms as anything more than a minor inconvenience.

And so I did the same. I powered through; and when at last I began to experience the classic symptoms of menopause - irregular bleeding, hot flushes, exhaustion, night sweats so bad that I would awake in sheets that were wringing wet – it did not occur to me to seek help. After over a year of this, I finally went to my doctor, who took a few tests, cheerfully announced I was menopausal, and when I inquired after HRT, advised me to power through – that phrase again - and let Mother Nature take her course. The internet was slightly more helpful. I took up running, lost weight, cut down on alcohol, downed supplements and sleeping pills and vitamin D, and felt a little better. Then, breast cancer came to call, and by the time my treatment was done, the symptoms had more or less disappeared, or at least had been superseded by the symptoms of chemo. I congratulated myself at having powered through cancer as well as surviving menopause.

But two years later, I feel old. I look that way, too. I’ve aged ten years. Some of that’s the cancer, of course. I was quite open about my treatment when I was powering through it – partly in order to pre-empt any questions about my hair loss or any of the all-too visible effects of three courses of chemo. Not that it stopped the comments, though. Even at my lowest ebb, a sector of social media made it clear that my only concern should be to look young and feminine to anonymous men on Twitter.

Right now, I don’t feel either. My hair has gone grey and very thin. My skin, too, seems thinner; both physically and mentally. At a recent publishing event, several acquaintances failed to recognize me; others just looked through me as if I had become invisible. Invisibility would be a relief; I find myself dressing for camouflage. I tend to wear baggy black outfits. I got my OBE last week. Photographs in the Press show me talking to Prince William. I’m wearing a boxy black trouser suit, flat shoes and a red fedora. I think I look nice. Not glamorous, but comfortable; quirky; unpretentious.

On a thread of largely supportive messages, one Twitter user pops up to say: Jesus, who’d accept an honour looking like that middle-aged disaster? @Joannechocolat thought she’d make an impact? She needs a stylist. If you look in the dictionary for the definition of “dowdy”, it features this photo.

It’s not the same man who belittled me over 20 years ago. But the sentiment hasn’t changed. Regardless of your achievements, as a woman, you’ll always be judged on your age and fuckability. I ought to be used to this by now. But somehow, that comment got to me. Going through menopause isn’t just a series of physical symptoms. It’s how other people make you feel; old, unattractive, and strangely ashamed.

I think of the Glass Delusion, a mental disorder common between the 14th and 17th centuries, characterized by the belief that the sufferer was made of glass. King Charles VI of France famously suffered from this delusion, and so did Princess Alexandra Amélie, daughter of Ludwig 1st of Bavaria. The condition affected mostly high-profile individuals; writers, royals, intellectuals. The physician to Philip II of Spain writes of an unnamed royal who believed he was a glass vase, which made him terribly fragile, and able to disappear at will. It seems to have been a reaction to feelings of social anxiety, fear of change and the unknown, a feeling both of vulnerability and invisibility.

I can relate. Since the menopause, I’ve felt increasingly broken. I don’t believe I’m a glass vase, and yet I know what it feels like to want to be wrapped in a protective duvet all day. I’ve started buying cushions. I feel both transparent, and under the lens, as if the light might consume me. On social media, I’ve learnt to block the people who make mean comments. To make myself invisible. To hide myself in plain sight. I power through, but sometimes I think: why do women power through? And who told them that powering through meant suffering in silence?

Fortunately, some things have changed since I went through the menopause. Over the past few years, we’ve seen more people talking about their experiences. Menopause is likely to affect half the population. We should be talking about it. If men experienced half these symptoms, you bet they’d be discussing it. Because power isn’t silence. You’d think that, as writer, I would have worked that out sooner. Words are power. Sharing is strength. Communication breaks down barriers. And sometimes, power means speaking up for those less able to speak for themselves.

I look at myself in the mirror. I see my mother’s mouth; my father’s eyes. I see the woman I used to be; the woman I will one day become. I see the woman my husband loves, a woman he still finds attractive. A woman with a grown-up child who makes her proud every single day. A menopausal woman. A cancer survivor. A woman who writes books that make other people sit up and think. A woman who doesn’t need the approval of some man she’s never met to be happy. She can be happy now. I can. And finally, I understand.  Powering through isn’t about learning to be invisible. It isn’t about acceptance, or shame, or letting Nature take its course, or lying about feeling broken. It’s looking beyond your reflection. It’s seeing yourself, not through the lens of other people’s expectations, but as yourself. The sum of everything you’ve been; of everyone who loves you. Of claiming your right to be more than glass, or your reflection in it. The right to be valued. The right to shine, regardless of age or reproductive status. Men seldom question their own right to these things. But women have to fight for them. That’s why it’s so exhausting.

This morning, instead of putting on my usual baggy black sweatshirt, I chose a bright yellow pullover. I looked at myself in the mirror. It’s not a great colour on me now, but it feels like dressing in sunshine. My husband came into the bathroom. You look –

My husband rarely gives compliments. I can’t remember the last time he commented on how I was dressed. I wondered what he was going to say. Dowdy, perhaps? Inappropriate? Like a menopausal woman in dire need of a stylist?

At last, he said: When you smile like that, you look like a friendly assassin.

A friendly assassin. I’ll take that.  

Shining like the sun. That’s me.

Health/skin update

Things are getting much better.

My skin is not perfect, but it's clearing up. I compare my skin to how it was last month at the same time of my cycle (I'm on week 2). There is still some inflammation and itchiness, but far less than last month. Each passing month gets better as I heal.

Quitting fasting has been a big contributor, because prolonged fasting raised my cortisol and caused this inflammation and fatigue. Also increased cortisol = lowered progesterone.

Physical stressors like skipping breakfast, overexercising, undereating, sleep deprivation, and infections can cause inflammation and elevated cortisol. Studies show that fasting for a few days in a row can increase cortisol.

I know I experience itchiness when I'm stressed, anxious, sleep deprived, and excited. So this makes me believe that there is a cortisol role in my skin inflammation. And the fact that my inflammation began at puberty, gets worse a week before my period, and went away for my mom when she experienced perimenopause leads me to believe that estrogen/progesterone play a role.

Lowering my stress and cortisol will raise my progesterone. And I'm taking a DIM detox supplement to reduce my estrogen levels and support my liver health. All of this will be so helpful in reducing my inflammation with time, and I know it's not an overnight thing. But my skin is getting clearer and clearer and I compare it to how it was in my previous cycle (same week) and it's less inflamed overall. So I'm happy. But I would like to be inflammation free.

I'm still eating anti-inflammatory. I'm not dealing with bloating thankfully. And I'm still in good shape despite not fasting everyday anymore. Like I said I was concerned and insecure about my calf shape. So I'm going to look into massaging and stretching them. Even prolonged walking can make them bulk up and muscular. I will walk gently if possible and do massages and stretches to see if they help.

Despite some itchiness, I'm healing overall and I know I'm going to recover. My diet raised my cortisol and caused severe inflammation and messed with my estrogen/progesterone balance. So I'm doing what I can to take care of that inflammation.

Checkup

I'm going to have some bloodwork done this week, so I stopped taking any vitamin or mineral supplements around Christmas time . . so they can get a good 'baseline' value. But I am very, very much looking forward to taking them again. No matter WHAT I eat this time of year (I am so good about fruits and veg!) I need a bit extra in the way of vitamins. D, B, whatever. Finding out that adhd folks may be prone to needing higher levels of B vitamins (we use more of it? We don't process it from food as well? Don't know.) was one of the really, really helpful "Tumblr-anecdotes I read and looked up more info on later." Seriously. If you don't take posts at face value, but do further research and check with your own doctor about stuff, you can learn SO MUCH from Tumblr.

On that note. Want to hear a c-r-a-z-y story about perimenopause? This might save some 40ish cis woman some trouble, and may simply be of interest to trans folks.

One day in October of the year I was 41, I woke up a different person. I mean I literally went to bed as myself and woke up feeling completely different. Over the next two weeks I barely slept more than a few hours a night and barely ate; had no appetite whatsoever. I kept up with mom duties and farm duties, but spent all my alone-time with my head in a fog.

Over the next few months I considered asking for medical help, but I didn't quite know what to TELL my Dr (a grumpy but reasonable old guy). I couldn't quite describe my experience on words, except to say I felt like a different person. Gradually I began to fell much, much more energetic. My strength increased bizarrely, even with no more than my usual farm exercise. LOVED that! The acne, moustache and chin whiskers were unwelcome. The mental fog was distressing, but my kids were only in third grade and kindergarten respectively, and my father was still completely independent - so I didn't NEED to be all that mentally sharp to keep up with what I needed to. You may be wanting to smack me upside the head by now, but it wasn't until I started growing black, wiry chest hair that I FINALLY figured it out.

My system had stopped estrogening and started androgening. Completely at random. I am, I must stress, a cis-woman, always felt female, and had 5 pregnancies with two live children. The very sudden onset of it is what made me feel so mentally disoriented at the beginning.

By the time I figured it out, months after it began, I could already feel the effects starting to wane. There were no real health effects that I needed to see a Dr about, and I wasn't sure I wanted to go to the trouble of trying to get him to understand what happened. I've never met another woman who talked about having this experience - but we often don't talk about perimenopause. I had read BOOKS about menopause issues, and this wasn't in them! Since hormone disruption is foundational to perimenopause, I'd bet money that SOMEONE else has had this happen. If you're nearing that age, it might happen to you - and it isn't the end of the world.

[creative-anchorage]

Welcome to the Great UTI Scandal, a story of unnecessary suffering for millions, needless hospital admissions, antibiotic resistance, sepsis-related deaths and basic ignorance of the science around female bodies. Women are 30 times more likely to get a urinary tract infection than men, and UTIs are agonising and occasionally fatal. In the past five years, there were 1.8m hospital admissions involving UTIs in England alone, plus even more GP appointments. This is not just a gender health gap – it’s a dangerous crevasse. But is there another way? ... Younger women do suffer from infections, dehydration and post-sex cystitis, but the brunt is borne by older women. UTI rates shoot upwards when women hit 45 and are perimenopause. The loss of the hormone oestrogen leaves the vulva dry in menopause (and sometimes post-pregnancy), a condition previously called “vaginal atrophy” – perhaps because early medics were only focused on those lady parts useful to men. Now, the hormone deficiency has been renamed Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) and Dr Rachel Rubin, a campaigning urologist [...] explained why. “This is not just vaginal dryness. GSM is a very serious condition. Without hormones in the local environment of the vagina and the bladder, you are susceptible to both genital and urinary symptoms. So, yes, it’s about pain with sex, decreased orgasm, decreased arousal. As a sex doctor, those are important to me. However, as a urologist, the much more serious issues are discomfort, pain when sitting, irritation, burning and itching of the vulva, urinary frequency and urgency. And the thing that kills elderly people all the time is urinary tract infections, which can lead to sepsis, worsened dementia, and death.” The NHS says the death rate for hospital UTIs is 4 in 100, rising to 1 in 10 in those aged 95 and over. Just as we have a gut microbiome, we have a vaginal microbiome. Lack of oestrogen means the lactobacilli and other good bacteria in the vaginal microbiome can be replaced by pathogenic ones. Oestrogen also helps collagen production, and collagen disappears from the vulva by up to 30% in the five years after menopause. We invest millions in collagen supplements and anti-ageing serums for our faces, but it never occurs to us that precisely the same process goes on down below. ... But guess what? We can prevent GSM for women in perimenopause and menopause by giving them a safe, incredibly low dose of vaginal oestrogen, which plumps the tissue back up again, feeds the vaginal microbiome and reduces UTIs by 50%, according to the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology. It’s safe for most breast cancer patients, too, it’s a win-win on the sex front and you can take it alongside normal HRT. Vaginal hormones come as a cream, gel or pessary and are cheap, costing the NHS around £5 for the cream. Meanwhile hospital admissions for people with UTIs stand at around £400m a year. Although some GPs and urologists are getting the message and prescribing vaginal oestrogen, more work needs to be done. In one California study in 2003 of over 5,000 women (average age 70), more than half had reduced UTIs after a year on vaginal oestrogen and a third had none whatsoever. Dr Rubin said: “We have millions of people in nursing homes who are dying of UTIs [in the US] and we have lots of data since the 1990s to show that vaginal hormones massively decrease urinary tract infections. We have new data. We have old data. We have so much data. The problem is that nobody’s talking about it.”

another seemingly innocuous thing that can have an awful effect on your liver : a good friend of mine was using sage supplements to treat symptoms of perimenopause and is now very ill as they have damaged her liver. it’s so scary how these things can affect us

sage! I googled it.

Where people get the idea that 'herbal=safe' is beyond me.

[mayalaen]

that wasn’t perimenopause?!

I have a lot of knowledge stuck in my head from years in the medical field but I don’t always look up ALL THE THINGS when a doc tells me to do something.

That backfired on me after my last doc retired and new doc saw I was taking  Vitamin D 50,000 IU/week for the last FOUR YEARS. And she didn’t even know I was taking 10,000 IU a day over the counter for a total of 120,000 IU/week -- previous doc approved that BTW.

The new doc was like okay STOP DOING THIS NOW 😱

I looked it up when I got home and the longest you’re supposed to be on it is 12 weeks even if you have chronically low vitamin D. They’ll give you a 2-12 week course once or twice a year to get your levels up again.

But FYI for anybody who has a doc like my last one: Don’t take more than 2000 IU a day unless it’s short term and under a doc’s care. Well, a good doc.

I stopped taking the vitamin D altogether about 3 weeks ago to give myself a cleanse, and now I’m going through withdrawals. It’s messing up my digestive system 😭

BUUUUUT

My fucking HOT FLASHES are FUCKING GONE!!

My last doc told me I was probably in early perimenopause brought on by the schiz meds and that’s why I was having horrendous 4-hour hot flashes during the middle of the day and another hot flash around 9pm for about an hour AND random cold flashes when my body felt like it.

I also read that THC boosts the effects of vitamin D supplements, and that together they can actually stop ovulation and cause a pseudomenopause in some people and a pseudoperimenopause in others.

That’s with TCH only 3x a week and more than 5000+ IU/day of vitamin D.

The other side effects of too much vitamin D include hallucinations. Like I didn’t have enough trouble with that 🙄

It also elevates your calcium, so there’s risk of kidney stones. There’s dizziness, vomiting, nausea, etc.

If someone takes enough, their organs can start shutting down, but that’s going over 250,000 IU/week.

I’ve never liked the fact that you can’t trust doctors to take care of you. I’m proactive about the entire family’s health, and it annoys some docs, but I don’t give a shit. Not when they pull fucked up shit like this on people.

The wildest part of this whole thing is that got a hold of my lab results from back when I was started on vitamin D and my level was only low-normal 😡

I’m only 3 weeks out from stopping the vitamin D, so maybe I’m wrong and I actually am in medication-induced perimenopause but I just don’t have severe symptoms, but whatever it is, the hot and cold flashes that have plagued me for 4 years now are gone 🥳

my local pharmacy has like, puff pages for all the meds they will compound, and on the page for topical testosterone it says

Testosterone topical cream can be beneficial in men and women needing testosterone supplementation.

then it goes on for like 2 pages and doesn’t mention the existence of trans people once, though it does talk about its use in cis women. yeah, i’m so sure most of the people getting T cream compounded are perimenopausal cis ladies
