Menopause

[amy1808]

Hi girls , can anyone tell me what they took supplement wise when going through the dreaded menopause. My joints are in agony, brain fog worse than usual, headaches are everyday 😭I feel old . I’m on warfarin so no one says they can help

[Nickisax]

I used Menopace. Seemed to help. Good luck x

Hi Nicki , are you on warfarin?

I spoke with gyn and i was miserable: hot flashes , and unable to sleep. Tried supplements without success, we agreed “safest” option was hormone patch. I am also on warfarin for APS 21 years

I used a compounded, natural progesterone for the first months of menopause. That helped a lot. There is ( despite the wishes/propaganda of Big Pharma) a huge difference in the targeted effectiveness of compounded progesterone and the usual hormone pills. I could certainly feel the difference!

I am on warfarin and to help with the hot flushes and sweat i was put on clonidine . It did help but make sure when u come off them you wean off rather than just stop. I could not get anyone to help and i got referred to the womens health gynee dept at chelsea + Westminster hospital london who toom alll my medical history.

Good luck.

I have APS and menopause at the same time. What I thought were menopause symptoms were actually APS symptoms. The majority of which were alleviated by Plaquenil (or the generic). I still have hot flashes that I have to contend with (but then again I seem to have difficulty regulating my body temperature). It is very difficult to see where one ends and the other begins.

I'm not on Warfarin but I take Solar 7 its brilliant I don't have hot flushes or migrains any more, but check with your dr first before taking it. xxx

Hi 12345,

I wonder if you have got Antiphospholipidsyndrome?

[12345- in reply to Lure2]

Why do you think I may have that?

[Lure2 in reply to 12345-]

We ask that because this is a site for people with Antiphospholipidsyndrome and we can only answer questions about our own illness (APS for short).

Oh I see, I was only replying and helping a lady amy 1808 as she was saying her joints ached,

[Lure2 in reply to 12345-]

I know but if the drug is useful for you, it might not be good for us with this autoimmun illness. This is a tricky illness. I understand that you tried to be helpful.

Sorry
