About Me
I'm a young 55 year old woman, living with my last two kids, 16 and 13, along with my husband from whom I've been separated for over nine years. Now we're trying to reconcile, and I live life one moment at a time, struggling with the crisis I'm in these days.

Close Hemorrhoids
Hello. I had been on antibiotics for at least 3 months for bladder infection and a sinus infection, and it resulted in a flareup of very painful hemorrhoids. I have not been able to get control of them, and they continue to hurt terribly, in spite of Preparation H, and topical creams, such as hydrocortisone and Preparation H cooling gel. I'm becoming despondent, at this point.
Treatments
- Preparation H Not Working
- I have faithfully used the suppositories, and the hemorrhoids don't seem to be responding. Then, I found out that the phenylphrine in the Prep H adversely reacts with my antidepressant, so I had to stop.
Close Menopause
I've recently been tested and conformed to be in menopause. I am desperately depressed and don't know where to turn. I am in every kind of pain imaginable and my mental state is foggy and unsure. I hope to find the help I need here.
Treatments
- Estroven Not Working
- The stimulant herbs mixed in with it aggravated my anxiety, so I had to stop it.
- Progesterone Cream Working / Worked
- It helped somewhat. I just didn't stick with it.
- Provera Not Working
- It made me feel very ill, and I stopped it.
