Oh my goodness what a pain! I am so thankful I did not experience much in the way of menopausal symptoms. I was well into my 50s, and the only thing I can recall is the usual hot flashes. But being cold natured, sometimes they were welcome!

I hate that you are going through this, but as my mother-in-law used to say, we have to be our own advocates now. You are helping so many by sharing your experiences. Keep up the good work.

Herding octopi is the new metaphor to beat. Thanks for another great (and enlightening--thank you for discussing the undiscussable) issue.

The application of the cream. I'd prefer a small pill anyday.

LOL, WHATAREPLY!

I'll start with you not liking the cream, interesting. What did you not like though?

And the symptoms... it's all such a nightmare. But my doc did say the cream would be anti-aging, which tbh came across as more of him being a dick. But this is also bioidentical, so contains progesterone, estrogen & testosterone. I don't think that's typical. (Dr. Pellet said you couldn't get testosterone in a cream.)
