How I Balanced the Hot Flashes & Night Sweats & Eased Myself Through the Anxiety of Menopause
I Wasn't Looking for a Cure - I was Looking for Relief
There is no way to describe menopause to anyone that has not experienced it. The hormone imbalance was always exhausting and my symptoms were so unpredictable! Men have no idea what women go through. The ups and downs of going through menopause is intense and it never hit me the same every day. The hot flashes were random, overwhelming and exhausting.
The feeling of being tired all the time was constant. I felt irritable and anxious!
For me, some days it’s the constant pull in all directions all at the same time!
“Mom, where’s my socks?”….”Mom, can you pack my bag”….”Mom what’s the time?” Some days I would just scream “WHAT?!?!!” and that’s not me!! I just couldn’t control myself.
I felt fits of anger and frustration and that’s just not me! Even thinking about walking the dog for 2 blocks was too much. It just seemed like an annoyance. My mood swings were constant and I felt irritable most of the time.
My husband and dogs were the only things the gave me any hope, but I was always irritable and constantly yelling. When I think about how I reacted, I felt so terribly guilty! It’s not my fault!!
When I had hot flashes I was almost always hot in bed, so I chose to sleep without clothes. And I hated to be touched! My skin felt itchy like things were crawling on me. I was surprised that I could feel so hot without going bright red or sweating. The impact of these flashes just increased my anxiety and made me feel self- conscious and out of control. After one too many hot flash, anxious episodes, I decided that it was time to reconsider HRT. I made regular appointments with my doctor and we discussed the benefits and negative side effects of HRT. And to be clear…I wasn’t looking for a CURE..I wanted RELIEF!
HRT - Why I Changed My Mind & Stopped
I felt miserable. So I finally decided to start HRT. I started taking antidepressants too. They helped my mood a little, but I still had no energy to get up and go. The antidepressants just made me feel numb and disconnected from myself. The symptoms were still there and it just didn’t seem to matter any more. I still had mood swings, night sweats, and hot flashes. The changes were subtle with HRT and then I had to deal with the side effects.
When on HRT, I had experienced side effects that weren’t supposed to be so bad. I had terrible headaches, some bleeding, nasuea, and diarrhea. But when I started to see my hair begin to thin, I was devastated. So….after a couple of months, I stopped the hormone therapy. My doctor told me not to stop the HRT treatment but it really wasn’t working for me. I wanted to adjust with the changes to my body more naturally that worked for me. The symptoms of menopause was enough to deal with and I didn’t need to add HRT side effects to that. I wanted to find relief for myself. So I started looking online for any other options to help me balance my hormones and hopefully ease some of the symptoms.
Found a Great Blog of Women & A Surprising Hormonal Blend
I was not into taking medication any more. I wanted to believe there was another way.
And I found an interesting blog of women and menopause support and how they worked
through it. The story was from an Indian woman who uses natural substances and herbs
that has worked well for many women in her community. She called it her hormonal blend.
This blend helped level off the erratic ups and downs of going through menopause. It helped
to reduce hot flashes, night sweats, and sleeplessness.
Her story was similar to mine and her symptoms were migraine headaches and dehydration. Quite a few women had similar stories. Some were on HRT and many of the others were not on HRT. But they were all happy and on the hormone blend and had great stories to share. After reading through many of the stories of these other women, it really felt like the natural remedy I thought could work for me. So I tried to adjust my expectations and see what I might experience. I was encouraged it was natural and something I could do.
My Story & Experience with the Blend
After reading through many of the stories of these other women, I decided to give it a try.
After starting the daily hormone blend, at first I didn’t immediately see any difference.
But I didn’t expect anything to happen right away. I know things take some time.
But within 2 weeks I felt a bit better – I had more energy and I was sleeping less than before.
Within 4 weeks my mood improved. And in a few more weeks I was feeling much more like
myself again. The hot flashes leveled off. Night sweats were rare and I started to sleep well
through the night. I had no idea something could be so good and natural. This worked for
me and did exactly what I hoped for. I was in such a better mood and I was happily looking forward to the future again.
The Relief & Balance I Found
Of course at 56 years I am still feeling some of the menopause symptoms but I feel more balanced and so much better now. My drive and libido has improved and life is good again. My husband and I are so much closer now. I am so grateful for his patience and being with me through this continuing process. This change happens to every woman, and it is so different for each woman. I think we need to look at other lifestyle factors to really support women through menopause – diet, exercise – and the key for me was understanding hormone balance.
Discovering this hormonal blend was a great find for me, and worked for me without HRT.
This blend helped me level off the change with my body and I have been able to return back to a normal life. Life is smoother, more stable without the monthly cycle. I talk to my close
friends and I still see women perplexed and surprised by the changes menopause brings. We
need more information and education about menopause – including positive views that things
will get better. We need more options to support our change. I am grateful to have found a
hormone blend that changed my life. Let’s embrace our hormones when we have them but not spend time mourning their loss! Life is more than the ability to reproduce – and postmenopausal women are part of our lives.
Finally, I am thankful for being a woman and all the experiences it brings. Hormones may be a rollercoaster – and managing the balance of the ups and downs has enriched my life. It worked for me and I am grateful! I feel like my old self again.
Give yourself the chance to see how your life can change through menopause! This blend could work for you too.
