My menopause and anxiety update, another day, another hormone! 

I'm feeling you, I don't think I saw daylight in August. I'm glad to hear your anxiety is better, it's so life debilitating. I'm so glad my vlogs help, that's so great to hear. I think it's comforting to know we're not going through it alone. Take care x

Hi Elizabeth, thank you. I bought Dentemp online, although I have since been to the dentist, I'm clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth with the anxiety, I'm having a retainer for sleep, my poor teeth. Take care x

Hi Victoria, I've felt the same , and I have spells now. I've has an awful few days where I've felt really dizzy and my legs go numb. It's awful. My migraines have been terrible the last 3 days too. I have to take each day as it comes. I think you should see your GP again, I think the blood tests are not particularly accurate, as the hormones fluctuate so do the results of the bloods. The oestrogel I'm now taking has helped me massively with anxiety and heart palps. Please don't be shy in forcing the issue with your GP, they are certainly not specialist and I think they misdiagnose the Menopause often. Hang in there, I promise it will get better x

@@thehiddenchange3391 hi thank u for replying I think ur amazing and so strong in tackling this esp on here . I feel totally lost sad no energy gave up my job can’t cope with any type of stress . I take diazapam on bad days . My dr did prescribe me Tiblone but I read up on this and no chance will I take this . I am 49 all started last year still having periods . Worst symptom is waking early hrs heart racing etc awful . Plz can you you tell me which type to ask for . I smoke too which I know is not grt but I need something to get me through xxx

Was going to add I have always suffferd with anxiety since the age of 20 but this anxiety is different . Recently had health check and was told my heart rate was through the roof I did say to nurse I have white coat syndrome and panic as sooon as I see Drs etc ... I was offered so many anti depressants etc but scared to touch them x

@@victoriafabry1382 bless you lovely, it's so so awful, I really do understand. If I didn't work for myself, I don't think I would have been able to work this year. I started on Oestrogel and Utrogestan 3 months ago, it's a body identical HRT treatment. My private consultant told me the best way to absorb oestrogen is through a gel, and the progesterone is Utrogestan, which is herbal and the closest to your own body's progesterone. I take 2 tablets for 12 days, days 12 - 24. I don't feel great taking these, but better than any other hrt and better without taking anything. Its the best treatment I've taken by a mile. I still have periods too, regular as clockwork and I smoke. I've also started taking testosterone cream, it's quite expensive but it has given me back my sex drive and it's given me a bit of oomph. I don't feel anywhere near my usual self but over half the month I do feel quite well. I don't deal with stress very well at all either, over the last year I've learned to be kinder to myself and I do what I can, and I don't beat myself any more. The anxiety is always there, like a ball in the pit of my tummy, but with this new treatment I've found it more manageable and I can face the world now. It's such an awful time for us. Have a read up on body identical HRT. Take care lovely x
