Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi, I am new to the group. I have had great success with alternative medicine in the past, and would like to know if anyone has a suggestion for perimenopause symptoms such hot fashes and severe mood swings. Thankyou!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Unfortunately I don't know of any help for you now, but since the topic has arisen...I will share that I am planning on delivering my second child at home in March and having my placenta encapsulated for either post partum depression (hopefully not needed) and saving capsules for perimenopause as a form of the most natural hormone replacement therapy from my own body! Which I thought was cool to know and wanted to pass it on to anyone still planning on having children and wanting to prepare for the future where perimenopause is inevitable for all of us women and treatment is almost universally artificial, sometimes ineffective and not tailored to each woman's exact hormonal needs, and mostly frustrating... I hope you find something more on this...I did catch the end of an Oprah episode where she had doctors/therapists/and Dr. Phils wife? presenting the controversial treatment of this problem for women and if I were you, I might check into Dr. Phil's wife's book she wrote on this very topic - she seemed upset with the medical community in how they handle perimenopausal women and eager to want to help women find a more natural and logical way to get help. And there was another woman doctor on the show that wrote a book on bio-identical HRT options...maybe thats a start for you...Good luck and stay optimistic if possible - you will find something to help you through!!!
