Season #8, Episode #3

Menopause, I can see the light.

This podcast is in no way advice for what you should do, I am not a medical doctor nor any kind of specialist in menopause, this is only my journey and I want to share hoping you may feel less alone in this journey.

These 2 years of menopause have been horrendous to say the least, from moments of rage, to being in tears in a corporate meeting, I felt like a crazy person. Anxiety hitting me like never before and bouts of such severe depression I wanted to drive my car off the road.

After much deliberation and trying everything possible, I have started on estradiol and progesterone, and I feel like a normal person again only after 16 days on the new regime. Now the tablet is the solution it's not a quick fix, it's still up to me to eat well, sleep well, and don’t drink alcohol or if you do it's minimal and only occasionally. I take more vitamins than I thought possible and take magnesium daily.

I feel like a walking health food shop, I feel joy again, and I am laughing again (always at myself) and I am pretty certain my family feel like they can breathe around me again. It was truly awful for them just as it was for me.
