Sad but true -- for some of us, the perimenopause can last a LOOOOOOOONG time.AnneOn Aug 12, 2011, at 5:45 PM, Totten wrote:

Yes.I have gone through these shifts about 3 times in 3 years since startingiodine. It makes sense because your body is producing more thyroid hormone, progesterone & other hormones. The first time it happened I was wiped out for an entire day with the worst periodI ever had. explained it as the body doing a big push to get the bromide out ofthe ovaries, one place it concentrates.And, my period went from twice monthly, in the first year to once every 28 days,is the good news.So things will/are improving.AliOn Aug 12, 2011, at 5:45 PM, Totten wrote:

Could be a coincidence with perimenopause, but most likely it's the iodine

resetting your reproductive system, which uses a lot of iodine, and

would have been deficient. My system has worked better since I've been on

the iodine protocol.

Btw, perimenopause or menopause are nothing to be " sorry " about, they are a

natural part of any woman's life should she be so fortunate to live so

long. They are not disease states, they are natural normal phases of life.

You are right. However, I think a lot of the symptoms we have during the perimenopause these days are about imbalance -- estrogen dominance, iodine deficiency, poor diet, etc. I think if we were all in good balance, the perimenopause wouldn't even be noticeable. But because we are out of balance, some of us get really uncomfortable symptoms -- & I guess that is what I have come to think of as perimenopause.As a normal phase of life, without too many symptoms, perimenopause would, indeed, be nothing to be sorry about. But I had a rocky road through mine... Thanks for the reminder.AnneOn Aug 12, 2011, at 10:33 PM, B wrote:

Well I was talking about the philosophical aspect of it, not the reality of

imbalances. Absolutely, imbalances caused by environmental factors is

playing a huge role in the suffering people are experiencing, and early

menopause as well. But the iodine protocol has much to offer for this.
