Hormonal Shifts Leading to Anxiety

[Guest guest]

In my 40's and have been able to pinpoint when an anxiety episode may

occur - about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks before I get a cramp. I've been able to

time this, however I do not know what else I can use for support. I do

yoga, breathing, meditation, take extra b's, b6 to help me get through.

I was seeing a chiro who suggested a hormone cream, but I stopped

going to him because I think he confused my body. When I first started

to see him he did bloodwork and he said it suggested a sluggish

thyroid, so I was put on a herbal supplement for thyroid. I did feel

better, but then it started to mess around with my monthly cycle and I

think it switched gears back a few years. Anyway, when I was going

through this thyroid work, I was spacey, almost to the point of not

being able to make conscious decisions - if that makes sense. I've

been off of the thyroid for few months and mentally, my mind is

sharper and I am aware of what I am doing throughout the day.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Blessings,

Hi Marie,

 

Compromised thyroid function is very common for women during

perimenopause. It's important to remember that the entire endocrine

system is impacted due to hormonal changes. That includes the

pancreas so blood sugar issues often arise which sometimes contribute

to anxiety. And, don't forget our tired adrenal glands which many

researchers now believe is the root cause of hypothyroidism.

 

It's good that you're seeking balance now as things can only become

more challenging as progesterone continues to drop in perimenopause.

I would recommend a high quality progesterone cream or MACA. You can

visit my web site for the products I recommend (not MLM, just

products I've found to be the best and most effective).

I also have a thyroid condition that is driving me to the point of

madness. My doctor put me on Sythroid and it nearly made me lose my

mind so I stopped taking it.I grew up with a parent who had high

blood pressure so I had become accustomed to not eating an adequate

amount of salt in my diet. I have been taking kelp tablets but it has

not worked as fast as I would like. I am tired of being tired and my

weight is a depressing issue expecially since I had started walking 4

miles every other day to get it down. I was practically living at the

gym and was able to keep up with the calories that I was burning with

the calculator on the machines. For energy, I would take green tea

supplements which worked well for a short period of time. But no

matter how hard I worked to lose the weight (eating spinach salads

only). I could not lose weight. After my Gyn noticed that my neck

appeared to be a bit swollen, I had an ultrasound that showed three

small goiters.I am curious as to what herbal treatments may help me

with this other than kelp for iodine intake. It has gotten to the

point where I dont recognize myself anymore and takes an effort for

me to even look in the mirror. Thanks in advance
