I don't know if you're one of those who *likes* to run but science shows that walking and weight training can be more beneficial (I'm sure I can find this link somewhere...). Runners tend to gain weight while training just bc it makes you hungry!<br />Maybe try the supplements before the hormone replacement?Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075708535155080258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-83163580002672225822017-07-20T15:50:54.480-04:002017-07-20T15:50:54.480-04:00Is your doctor giving you anything for the vitamin...Is your doctor giving you anything for the vitamin D deficiency?

I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of this, but really appreciate you being so honest and sharing what you're going through. I don't have any advice or information on the medications, but if you can I would get a second opinion, or maybe even talk to your doctor again to see if she can explain things in a way that makes sense. The older I get the more I realize how important it is to be your own advocate for your health. Praying for you as you figure all of this out.

I understand body, I understand. I hope that you are able to try some things out that help, and find a way to deal with these symptoms as they come up. But yay for you being healthier!!

Nevertheless try not to worry too much and just keep doing what you're doing and you'll be back at your normal weight soon enough. Hormones and stress can most definitely impact weight gain and loss and I agree not enough people talk about it. Hope the Dr. can get everything balanced out for you!Cara (Kindly Unspoken)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05646839632185816703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-76705459687449728492017-07-19T07:11:42.614-04:002017-07-19T07:11:42.614-04:00I wish I could help.

Since cancer I'm on a pill to take away the estrogen so I have a lot of hot flashes. However taking vitamin E helps. It doesn't take them away, but it does help me to have fewer of them. I'm just learning to live with them and just try to have a sense of humor about it. I figure I can live with the hot flashes a lot better than the cancer.

My clothes suddenly don't fit, been married 35 years and for the first time I can barely get my rings off... it's really been strange. You talking about minerals and protein levels and stuff makes me think it's time to see the doctor again. (I had a physical scheduled 2 months ago but my back went out and I was immobile for a month.) It must be time to make a new appointment!

I gained 8 pounds last week alone just because I had family come to town and we ate out every meal. I got back on track over the weekend and in 3 days already dropped 6 of the 8.

I had a complete hysterectomy at age 46 so I didn't go through a lot of the menopause stuff. The doctor immediately put me on a hormone replacement and before a year was up, I had a precancerous lump removed (actually 3 of them) from my right breast. I quit taking the hormones. Black cohosh worked well to get me past the transition.

Like you said, we don't really talk much about it and we need to because it is serious! Sometimes is really does suck to be a girl! And off topic, but I love watermelon and feta salad too. It's also really, really good with a little balsamic vinegar drizzled over it too.

I don't remember things being this bad when the hormones started 30 years ago but it definitely seems like this part of the roller coaster is much worse than the teen-years. HRT scares me so anything I can find that is natural (essential oils, supplements, etc.) is going in the shopping cart. Recommendations? I don't really have any. Make sure you take not just a multi-vitamin but also ones that are specifically/only vit. D and B-complex. And I don't think you're dating yourself with the Seinfeld reference ... Maxine? yes. Seinfeld? definitely not! ;) Elizabeth - No Lazy Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850346132248360959noreply@blogger.com
