Re: Digest Number 500 - Alleycat

April 5, 2001

Dear............

I'm sorry, I don't see your name, but Alleycat sounds

good to me.

As others have said: do please try to hang in

there. Your distress is very understandable. As you say, being

a woman can exacerbate symptoms. Going on what I see of

my eighteen-year old daughter, hormone swings can really

intensify the problems she has dealing with life. I've never

seen anyone with the pms effects she has.

It's quite possible that gradual hormone shifts in the late thirties can

put this sad perspective on parts of your life that were so

worthwhile up till now, 'Alleycat'. Using soya foods might help to

restore balance to the hormone housekeeping within you,

especially if you are sensitive to animal dairy protein/casein.

My daughter, Annemarie, has not reached the stage where

she's prepared to try soya milk instead of cow's milk yet, but

she does say that she feels more chaos in her head

dependent upon how much cow's milk she drinks. I expect

this tendency will continue in later life, making her hormone

shifts more extreme.

I do hope for you that you manage to keep going and find

more fulfilment to make life bearable. Thinking of you, over

here in The Netherlands.
