Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Hi,

I haven't been DX yet but I am seeing my GYN Tue. and I am going to tell him my symptoms which match criteria. I had a hystert in june 2006.

I am constantly having UTI's and I read that a lack of Estrogen might cause.

Has anyone found this to be true? I really appreciate anyone who can help with info before Tues.

Thanks

Boy, can I relate. In my case the UTIs and yeast infections have been a direct result of candida that has gone wild in my system. You can have a blood test for it. I've worked w/a holistic Chinese Doc for 6 mos and not eradicating the problem finally went to a holistic GYN (MD) who put me on Diflucan (Fluconazole 150 mgs). I'm trying it for 30 days, then will have blood work & if liver not effected will do another 30. If you're not sure if this is an issue for you google candida tests online and do a couple of the long questionnaires. They have a few sections and are more conclusive. Hang in there m'dear

Thank You so much 2depressed,

I cancelled my appointment with GYN because I felt like I really need to be careful of starting hormones. I take different meds and will be changing a med when it comes in the mail. So I was going to do this one step at atime.

I am going to follow up and check this out.

I had a friend show me her candida book but I was not sure if I could handle the diet. But desperation is at my door.


Thanks very much for your hug and your knowledge.

Okay this is intereting. I searched Candida and found Candidasupport.org

It not only addresses Candida but CFS, Fibromyalgi and a few other things. Natural and can be given to people with meds and children.

I read almost every page and I am going to try this before I get on hormones.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Or used this product? It is FDA regulated. Most natural products are not.
