How to help yourself thru peri: what I did

I had enormous pain. I think I noted somewhere here before that I had no idea what was going on. I thought I was simply "like that". But it was only peri. It went on for years, and I had no idea. I was just buffeted all over the place. What a wreck of a life. I finally found a good gyn who read all of her homework (estrogen is not as scary as the media makes it out to be; in fact, it's a good thing).  I got help from yoga, exercise, meditation; eating well, not boozing; reading up at a site called sensiblehealth and using some of their products, also using a product called Adrenal Strength (it's herbal, no animal adrenals in it). All this while taking/tapering off estrogen (I have no uterus). I'm using the tiniest bit of estrogen now: 0.3mg. That's it. What I did was educate myself on inner peace -- how to help my mind and actual brain become peaceful and balanced; also learned about caring for my adrenals. Your adrenals will be providing estrogen later if you can keep them healthy. I know of what I speak. I blew my poor adrenals out from being nuts with peri. But I'm OK now.
