Until the last few years, I have not had any health problems and then

I stared having problems with my hair falling out on top, and growing

on my face, unable to lose weight around my waistline, bad memory and

concentration, etc.. In December of 2005, I had my hormone levels

checked ( I am now almost 48 yrs old) and they said that my estrogen

levels were really low. I asked for natural hormones. They prescribed

estodial, spriolactone, and prometrium. I've been taking these for a

little over 2 years.

 

 

I've held jobs that ranged from standing in one place all day to

walking alot, for 4 years I drove as a bank courier until last year.

 

About a year and half ago, I started having problems with my feet

burning and I was noticing that my varicose veins looked worse than

usual, so I went to the doctor. At the time she didn't think it was

my veins, so they did a complete blood work on me and checked my

cholesterol and my blood sugar levels. My blood sugar was fine..but

my cholesterol was 325 and my triglycerides were 1085.

 

I try to exercise pretty regularly, but in the 2 or 3 months before

that I wasn't very consistent with it and I was drinking alot of

cappucinos during that time and sometimes in the evenings I was

drinking an alcholic drink calld " fuzzy navels " . I guess all of this

helped to make things worse.

 

They prescribed neurontin and I took it for awhile and then the

pharmacist that I was using at the time, started giving me a a

different colored capsule in my prescription,(he said it was a

different distributor) and it didn't work as well so I stopped taking

it. ( I hate meds and won't take them , if I don't have to). My feet

did ok(much better anyway) for a little while and then they started

to get worse then.

 

Early on during this time, I showed my legs to my doctor again and

she agreed that some of the veins looked like they needed to come

out. I had a vein in my ankle that looked like bubble and one in the

back of my leg that looked so bent it protruded,and I had other bad

veins as well. She sent me to a specialist...In October of 2007, I

had the surgeries (2 of them, one on each leg). With the exception of

getting the bad veins out, I'm not sure how much it's helped..I wear

support hose every day and sometimes at night depending on my legs

and feet..sometimes I have to put them back on because it is the only

way that I can rest...I put my feet up as my much as I can when I am

sitting.

 

During the 2 months that I was recuperating with the exception of

feeling like I had something really tight in the arch of my right

foot..with the exception of that, I didn't have any neuropathy in

either of my feet until I came back to work. The first day back at

work, it flared up that night...Mostly at night is when I have

it..Although sometimes it flares during the day too.

 

I exercise most days..I walk in the pool at the wellness center where

I am a member...sometimes I swim a little too.. Sometimes I walk a

little in the mornings too..I intend to add more walking time in the

morning..I just started yoga in the mornings and I am thinking taking

tai chi classes. Any idea if these things will help?

 

My diet is (mostly) pretty good. Not perfect though..I still

occasionally stop and grab fast food, a Whopper with cheese..but not

on a regular basis.. I eat dark green leafy salads most days, usually

with spinach leaves added to the mix and I eat other greens and some

cruciferous (cabbage and broccoli). I've recently started to eat more

onions too and other vegs. I've started trying to eat more fish. I'm

striving for a few times a week. I've changed from Kraft 3 Cheese

Ranch dressing light(was my favorite) to Olive Oil Vinagraitte. I eat

whole wheat and whole grain breads at home and out unless I can't get

anything else with is VERY rare. I do eat scrambled eggs (free range)

for breakfast pretty regularly. I was eating Kashi cereal to which I

added wheat germ, millet, golden flax seeds, but I was getting really

bad gas and I stopped because I thought it might have been the

kashi.I'm going to start eating it again and see. Ieat beans to,

motly pinto. I try to eat an apple most days. I eat chicken, turkey,

beef(no pork), I eat lamb occasionally (when I can get it :-) ). I

don't eat anything fried anymore and if I saute anything it is in

either olive oil or butter. I ate margarine for years, and in the

last couple of months switched to organic butter. I still eat a

variety of cheeses, but try to get organic goat cheese and soy

cheeses when I can..I also drink milk skim cow sometimes, and try to

get goat when I can..I also drink a good bit of light soy milk.. I

drink a glass (sometimes 2) of wine most evenings for my circulation.

 

I also taking vitamins, several. fish, borage, flax oil in a

combination capsule form, vit E, vit C, zinc, alfalfa, dandelion

root, kelp, and garlic..I alse recently started takin CO Q10.

 

Any ideas of things that I should change or things I should be doing

etc? I would greatly appreciate it. I 've always wanted to be healthy

and have been mostly..until recent years..getting older I guess and

it seems to get harder and harder..Thanks...
