Crazy female hormone imbalance- need help regulating!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Please help me, anyone!!!

I'm a 31-yr-old female who has had hormone imbalance since I entered

puberty at age 11. I've never had regular cycles, even was put on

birth control in Jr. High so I'd have periods and to get rid of

ovarian cysts. I can't take any birth control because everything I

try either makes me suicidal or not want to have anything to do with

my husband. I've taken progesterone cream for a couple years

(that's what I'm low in) and it worked at first (I got pregnant

after trying for over a year and never having been careful with my

husband in the 10 years before that). But it doesn't seem to work

much anymore. I've tried a few different brands from my health

store. I don't know if I need a better brand or to try something

else. I can't even tell you how much of a struggle almost every day

is for me between being tired, unable to concentrate and remember

things, bloated and sore, my skin breaking out like I'm a teenager,

and trying to be a good wife and mother to my 2-yr-old who is on the

Autistic spectrum. I have battled depression since 15 and wish so

much that I could get off of the medicine (I'm trying to wean off

now), but I don't know if it's even possible with my hormones being

so crazy. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to know.

Thanks,

Sommer,

 

Have you ever tried Reflexology? It might

help and won't hurt.

Here is one of my favorite Reflexology

stories.

 

I used to have an office next to a hair salon.

One of the girls bartered hair care for sessions.

T. had just suffered the tragic miscarriage of

a malformed fetus. She was over 5 months and

had only conceived with the help of fertility drugs.

 

She hoped Reflexology would help her towards

a regular cycle so she could try again.

She was always terribly irregular. Her period

might come every three months, and the weeks

before she'd feel horribly bloated.

 

Reflexology is great for people who work on

their feet all day anyhow. There are no side

effects, just bonus results!

 

After the first session her tailbone stopped

hurting.

It had been painful ever since a car accident

a few years ago.

Next thing we knew, she was pregnant!

Never mind the drugs, this just happened.

She had a healthy full term son.

I have heard a lot of Reflexology fertility

stories.

 

Not that you are trying to get pregnant,

but it shows how well this humble healing

art can work to regulate errant systems.

 

Of course there is nutrition and herbs too...

But I'll leave it this for now.

Hi,

 

Some diet also can help you regulate your harmone, Im an indian and

feel that Ayurveda has most of the healing powers among other types

of treatment.

 

Try avoiding Vinegar,Cheese products , Mushrooms , Pineapple ,Chikkos

any thing that has baking soda added to it.

 

because they almost inhibit progesteron as per my doctor.

 

Regards,

 

Cheryl

Have you tried having your thyroid checked. Those symptoms fit with an

underactive thyroid so try asking your doctor to check this out for you.

I'm jumping in mid-conversation (I just joined), so I hope this hasn't

already been resolved!

 

 

 

Sommer,

 

It sounds like you are on the right track with the progesterone.

Estrogen Dominance WILL cause brain fog, depression, bloating, acne (among a

wagonload of other problems). You need to get some natural progesterone that

will work for you!

 

Can you tell me what kind you are using? There are many creams out there

that claim to be progesterone, but are nothing more than wild yam " lotion " .

Also... Make sure your cream does NOT contain:

* glycerin, petroleum or mineral oils - clog the pores of the skin and make

it hard for the progesterone to get into the blood stream.

* phyto-estrogens, such as Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, Red Clover, Licorice

Root and Siberian Ginseng - These will stimulate our own estrogens and if we

are already estrogen dominant, we don't want to use a product that is going

to continually stimulate the estrogen.

 

A good cream must have 400-450mg of progesterone per ounce in it. No more,

no less.

 

 

Have you read any of Dr. John Lee's books? For you, I recommend " What Your

Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause " or the newest one, " Hormone

Balance Made Simple " .

Sommer,

You might find help with vitex (also chaste tree berry). Do a search

for it with hormone balancer or something similar.

I had good luck with it for menopausal symptoms. It is supposed to be

a hormone balancer.

Also limiting sweetners, sugar, refined or processed foods or foods

with preservatives.

You also might look into Johanna Budwig's protocol to help balance

your intake of essential fatty acids (omega 3's imparticular). A good

group for information on that is " flaxseedoil2 " also in gorups.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sommer,

 

It could be a number of factors involved with the problems you're

experiencing. I can give you some general recommendations. Hormonal

imbalances, cysts, and acne are signs of a congested liver. Taking Milk

Thistle and SAM-e is beneficial. Since the milk thistle will help the

liver to detoxify you may experience " healing crisis " symptoms. If this

occurs you can reduce your dosage or discontinue. If you are using an

anti-depressant medication, pregnant or nursing you should consult your

doctor before taking the SAM-e.

 

I used to suffer from PMS being sick 2 weeks out of each month. One

supplement I can't do without is Omega-3 Fish Oil supplement. Essential

fatty acids are so important for overall health and many if not most

people do not get enough in their diets. Red Raspberry and False

Unicorn are herbs that are very beneficial for PMS.

 

I also try to avoid synthetic estrogens. You can find more information

on xenoestrogens here:

 

http://www.natureforlife.com/content/view/60/2/

 

I know for so many women using a natural progesterone cream makes a huge

difference. But, in my case using progesterone actually made my symptoms

worse. The key is to balance the hormones which the liver's job and if

the liver isn't functioning properly this causes problems. Hope this

information helps.

Sommer - Phil's answer sounds good for the glandular imbalance ------ but it

sounds like you have a couple of different things going on besides that. It's

kinda like a domino effect - one causes another. I would recommend St.John's

Wort for depression. I have taken Prozac and find St John's Wort to be just as

effective. The fatigue, lack of concentration and inability to remember are all

signs of depression. I understand how each day can be a struggle. Meditation can

really help (TAKE the time for yourself!!)--look up meditation tapes on pc.

Valerian and KavaKava are herbs that help you relax. Melatonin can be quite

effective for insomnia. B12 supplements and a good multivitamin with

antioxidants will be a plus for energy. You don't say how old you are --- but

COQ10 is just an excellent herb as you get older. I have some experience with

kids that are autistic --- and that can be quite a challenge in itself --- and

also quite rewarding. I know it is hard to find time for

yourself, especially under your circumstances, but YOU NEED TO DO THAT. Quiet

time - no phone, no interruptions, no kids! Explain to your hubby that you need

1/2 hr out of each day for yourself and TAKE IT!!!! Take deep deep breathes and

allow yourself to be peaceful. Lastly -- a good sounding board can work wonders

----- someone to talk to who will listen and who has been where you are. If

you'd like you can always get ahold of me --- would be nice to talk to you!
