We're also made of several vital hormones, and it would seem peri-menopause (I know you dudes just love to hear about these things) has seriously fucked with mine. Had my levels tested and I'm all about the estrogen right now with not a drop of progesterone in sight. This accounts for several of my worst symptoms including foggy brain, forgetfulness, irritability and depression. Not to mention the complete and total disinterest in anything remotely sexual. We're getting this shit fixed pronto. Meeting with the gyno tomorrow and hopefully starting HRT. Maybe I'll stop yelling, crying and forgetting why....in the middle of the produce section of the local grocery store. It's getting a little embarrassing.
Poor Angel. Praying for you (and hoping I brightened your day a little bit this morning).
ReplyDeleteThank you, HH, and yes you did!
ReplyDeleteFoggy brain, forgetfulness, irritability and depression?
ReplyDeleteYou just described three quarters of my average day! I hope and pray that things work out for you Angel!
Hell honey I do that every day and I'm a Man---Ray
ReplyDeleteAsk your Doc about Pregnenolone and DHEA......Smoothed my Mrs. right out.....A little bit goes a long way, I'd start with 5 Mg. in the mornings......Talk it over with your Doc and see what he/she has to say about it.....Good Luck.....I'm a faithful reader here.....

ReplyDeleteyelling, crying and forgetting why."
Gee, that sounds like a liberal.
VonZorch, I'm heavily armed and hormonal, do you really want to there?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Redji! I'll ask him about those, I'm hoping to be back to my snarky, smart-ass self in no time.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work........
ReplyDeleteStay away from HRT, look at the downside of that therapy. There are other options.
