Has anyone done any research on this probability? Because there is a long list of Symptoms under hormone imbalances...that are similar.
Hi, I viewed this program - twice now. And I feel so sorry for her children. Shame on her Doctor for letting her go this long, and not thinking about her children that have obviously have suffered.
The reason this subject has my intrest is because of my experience. Surgical menopause. At the age of 26. At the time I had small children. I had to work. My husband and I had custody of our 3 nieces, that meant that I had 7 children in my home. When it became evident that I could not take HRT. I mean I was sick, throwing up, and severe feelings of going crazy. Depression that was not going away. After a year of trying different HRTs. Antidepression drugs, Cutting them in half. Taking them every other day...I quit taking them. I took the risk of going through menopause Cold turkey . For 14 years I did nothing. My children remembered how I was! Unfortunately. Many days I was angry, many days I was there, but not. I was disconnected. I hated myself. My children. My husband. My brother in law for messing up his children's and his wifes lives. Many times thought of suicide came to my mind.
But it was only a thought. I really had to rely on my faith, prayers and practice self control.
No one ever told me that this could be, because of menopause. No, they said, it was --- I was doing too much. Being the mother of 7 children, and working.
I do believe now that I could of beaten this episode in my life if someone could of told me about Progesterone. With in one month of using this cream....I started regaining my life back. I started sleeping so much soundly and Felt rested in the a.m.
Then I was blessed to read several books on the subject of hormones. One is by Sherrill Selllman. She is now a Dr. / Phychotherapist. Her book The hormone Heresy really opened my eyes to the deep subject of hormones. That the missing factor in hormonal balance is not estrogen, but natural progesterone. That ---and changing my diet, changed my life completely.
I have full control now of my life. And have not looked back.
While bipolar ia a real life crisis, I wonder if there is a study on this. Diet related issue maybe? Hormone issue, yes even with children. As the foods we eat are not feeding the body, the nourishment that is needed for optimal health. And Young girsl and boys are developing early.
I also know of a person that has been diagnosed with Bipolar. Her diet is coffee all day long. Pop, canned foods from Social rehab. services. She also drinks, and smokes. She is on disability, and too poor to eat properly. She Never eats fresh foods. Whole live foods...she'd rather not eat at all.
My daughter...was hospitalized and the Doctors considered her bipolar. Right away started putting her in meds. And put her into talk therapy.
Her diet was poor. Pizzas, pop, drinking....whatever young kids eat these days. But her
circumstances were like this. 22 years of age. Just married, just moved to another state, her husband broke his neck, and while it could of been worse....paralized... he is not, he is disabled at 26 yrs. . He has chronic pain, and cracking and snapping in his neck. FMS and MFPS. My daughters outlook on life crumbled. Home family etc. Now she had to work to support the two of them.
To get a person admitted to the hospital. It required that we, me and her husband write out the reason WHY. My pages --3 to her husbands one sentance.
They over looked her circumstances and I called them on it. Boy did those Nurses perk up. From then on they treated her like she was human. And started talking to her and her lot in life.... you know she did not need those meds....she just needed someone to talk to her about what she was going through, and be reassured that she could make it. She is doing fine today and eating lots better.
And guess what?
All this turmoil in her life, caused her peroids to be messed up. See the connection of Hormone imbalance?
I would just really like to see what others think about the possible connection with hormones....And maybe Dr. Phil also could think about it as well. It is a serious time in our lives, menopause. Men go through it as well.
Your comments please are welcome.
