Welcome Marty,

Day 12 Blood test -Estradiol test - 1232 pg/ml. That's not a typo.

>Please comment!

>Marty, 49

It's the highest level of Estradiol I've heard of but the others may have more experience. What does your practitioner say?

Where are you getting your product from?

I've been offline (computer problems) Don't take my absence for

disinterest! I will be happy to answer all questions. That E number

-1232 blew me away. Obviously, I'm doing some rethinking.

I so appreciated " others " who have gone before and are willing to

share to learn.

One thing worthy of note is that I have never been on birth control

pills, and only just used used " over the counter " hormone cream -P

mostly, a little E, briefly right before going on the WP. By the way,

I feel great (but it is the second month). Now I sleep great @ night,

no night sweats, & think clearly. I feel almost normal. I used to go

to bed and sleep during the day like I was ill, to get better - it

didn't work. I don't do that anymore. I'm a little snappish during

the P phase, things bother me more, but not too bad. I've had a very

regular period all these years, very easy. I don't believe I had PMS,

or very noticeable highs & lows month to month. In retrospect, my

hormones were probably doing a good balancing act all these years.

My MP symptoms were typical, migraines that came & went, yeast

infections that came and went, some night sweats, some waking up, scaly

skin, nothing too bad. I was unprepared for MS because it seemed to

happen so fast.

The biggest motivator to do something was the " losing my mind " symptom

which came w/depression. I don't know which came first, -but I could

't think, -- now after hormones " I " am back almost like normal. I

don't know if this problem is as published as it should be, but I know

it is well known by this group.

My next biggest complaint is weight gain - I am looking forward to

being able to lose weight with balanced hormones. ( My body became

totally different than it is used to be with diet.)

Allergies appeared, with a loss of smell. (I can smell close up) I

am monitoring this to see if the allergies lessen (they don't bother

me, no itchy eyes, I don't feel stuffy) but I can't smell well, which

is depressing.

I used to wake up sometimes in the night, some night sweats. I sleep,

no sweat.

I have a little bit of a scaly skin problem (around my nose) still that

I am monitoring.

Only 6 weeks on the WP. Got my first period right on time (it has been

1 1/2 years)

I just got my blood work results for E, and my doctor is not in until

Monday. He has other patients on the WP.

I am on the WP (Lauden Pharmacy in Capitola, CA-Santa Cruz County) who

is familiar with this protocol. He made a comment that someone else

was using a compounding pharmacy elsewhere (I think SB) and liked

his better because is was easier, not so abrupt on the system - pardon

my vocabulary to describe this - in fairness the comment could have

been the nature of the individual.

I'm alone in the sense that I am not speaking with anyone locally.

My blood tests said <20 E, Low P (1.8), - but I had taken some P over

the counter cream for a short time so this have been higher than my

true " base " , high FSH (117), lower LH (36.3),

high DHEA (303) -- low Estrone serum (43), Verdict - menopause. (if

you want more values for interest I would be happy to furnish them)

I am in good health with no problems other than menopause and its

symptoms.
