Update on last post for hormone therapy

Ok all as I posted last week all is going well on my new hormone therapy however, I wanted to give you just a side note if you decide to go with a biogenetic hormone therapy and that is to watch your intake of sugar and sodium for it can bring on hot flashes and produce you to not only feel hot but to sweat and we all know we don't want that. Also remember to wear cotton clothing for it reduces your chances of getting a hot flash oh and also make sure the clothing isn't tight for that will bring them on as well. As always Peace and Blessings and we're fighting this fight together!

My month thearpy update!

Hello my fellow ladies, Just an update on what's been going on and as promised the update on the new hormone therapy. So I can't remember if I gave you all the name but it's Estradiol 1mg and things have been going well. I've even loss a few pounds for the other medication was a birth control named Microgestin 1.5/30 and it made me gain weight, retain water, develop a goiter, and made my hair shed, and I was still having hot flashes and night sweats really badly. Being on the Estradiol 1mg has stopped my night sweats completely and I have very few hot flashes: maybe two a day and I don't breakout in a cold sweat I simply become warm and a few strokes of my fan and it's over. I've lost a few lbs as I stated above and my sleep pattern is "normal" whatever that really means, I have an appointment to see if the goiter has lessen in size. However, my new specialist(She's a GYN, Oncologists) who treats Endometriosis, Ovarian and Cervical cancer, she also specializes in Menopause; told me that I can't only be on estrogen because the cells will grow and find a new playground which as you know from my previous blogs it can spread to the lungs, abdomen, and brain; therefore, I have to eventually introduce progesterone into the therapy but at a low dose. I'll be posting another update in few weeks. If you have any questions please don't hesitate and on an exciting note the Novel is approaching soon. Remember we're not in this fight alone. As always Peace and Blessings!
