Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi, I too have hormone probs and I am only 27..it is quite common.Tried supplements to help it for a year with no relief,as of now I'm on the Mepron, and Cortef for the hormone problem...the downfall of Mepron is it can give you increased mental oddities and depression,which aren't the best things to happen when all this is going on! There is a product called Artemisinin(sp) that some docs use primarily for babs with less side effects.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi there, I have found that it's really important for me to distinguish between hormonal flashes and lyme/babesia fevers and flushing/flashing... which can actually feel pretty similar. I remember when I went through menopause early the hot flashes felt like a sudden heat wave had taken over my being and it was almost unbearable... it was from the inside out, very sudden and I felt like I had absolutely no control. I had to go outside in the winter to cool down, which anyone who knows me well, would laugh at, because I have always had low thyroid and was cold all the time. Babesia, on the other hand, is a whole different deal. I've found that I can have body or brain (or both) fevers and sweats that can go on for hours and days... they can be vary intensity and generally go on and on... much different than the hot flashes. I've just started Artemesia 2 by Dr. Zhang... the tx protocol is 2 or 3 capsules 1x/week to kill babesia and keep it under control. I know this is different than what it says on the bottle - it's a combo of Zhang's artemesia and Klinghardts protocol. A friend whose babesia is much better, swears by it.
