Hi Chris, I might be able to help too. I have so been where you both are. I also take a lot of medications due to an auto-immune disease I have. What meds do you take? Yes the correct balance of estrogen, testosterone and also thyroid are crucial to our well-being. First thing - and what I told Maxicat was that it's important to get a bloodtest to determine levels. Some doctors say a saliva test is best. My doctor says saliva tests are not accurate. Plus, you've probably read my post about the bioidentical hormone pellets. Roy, asked that I not only talk about them, but I do know alot of information about hormone levels, symptoms and balance. Plus there is the thyroid which low thyroid symptoms have some things in common with the below. Here are symptoms of low estrogen: Hot flashes Night Sweats Sleep disturbances Vaginal dryness/atrophy Dry skin Headaches Foggy thinking Memory lapses Heart palpitations Yeast infections Painful intercourse Depression Low libido Bone loss Low testosterone can cause: Global loss of sexual desire Decreased sensitivity to sexual stimulation in the nipples and in the clitoris Decreased arousability and capacity for orgasm Loss of muscle tone Diminished vital energy Thinning and loss of pubic hair Dry skin If I can be of help, I'll be glad to. My passion is for women to feel great! Nancy Post edited by: azsunshine, at: 05/12/2008 14:27 |
