Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 i'm finally going to a gyn dr. after refusing for 8 years. i've had severe hot flashes, trouble sleeping for at least 9 years. my previous dr. refused to believe that i could be perimenopausal because i was too young (40 at the time). i've tried every herbal protocal my herbalist and i can think of to no avail. i'm planning to ask this new dr. what can be done to check my adrenals and thyroid because i'm wondering if that could be the problem. i dealt with a skin problem most of my life only to find out about 15 years ago that it was a milk allergy. of course drs. only gave me steroids - shots, creams, pills........ so now i wonder if rather than menopause, i'm dealing with the affects of all the steroids as well. lately i've had a 'new' symptom (don't know if it's related). different areas of my body below my waist suddenly feel like my skin in vibrating - almost like a cell phone on vibrate is touching me. it just lasts for a minute, stops, then starts somewhere else. if anyone has advice, i'm all ears - desperate ears. also, if anyone knows of anything else i should discuss with this dr., please tell desperately...........bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 place an amethyst under your pillow it can heal insomia. Also burn a camomile insence or candle 30 minutes before bed time. You might thhink about a tea called Sleepy time or sweet dreams. After these things You will go to sleep, promise. I have had insomia for years so i do understand. If you need an amethyst I can get you one for a very low fee. If you buy from another place make sure it is cleanse, charged and programed to what you want it to do for you. You can always email me or im me, i am always glad to help. Cathy L Kaiser Believe with an Open Heart and Mind --Cathy L.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 From a functional medicine perspective, there are 5 things that can make you ill: infection toxicity allergies stress bad diet A trip to a functional medicine doctor (google functional medicine and you will find links identifying appropriately trained practitioners) will work to sort out which of these are related to your situation. Since the vibrating is a neurological symptom, it could be some sort of heavy metal toxicity, but guessing is not the way to go. There are simple challenge tests a physician can get for you (Genova Labs) so you can see how much is being chelated out to know what's there. This is a challenging journey, I'm enroute if you have questions...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Bonnie I would suggest the same thing for you that I wrote to Jan.It was recently written that women who have been prescribed estrogen as a standard treatment for menopause /hot flashes didn't need it ,they needed thyroid. Also natural progesterone cream that you can find at a health food store helps tremendously as does geranium oil.Find a copy of Dr Lees book " What your Dr doesn't tell you about perimenopause " I think this is the title if not it's close.Just look up Dr Lee. http://www.johnleemd.com/He has several books that address this.
