- Catch up on the Newson Health World Menopause Day live webinar, where Dr Louise Newson and Dr Rebecca Lewis discuss everything relating to perimenopause, menopause and cardiovascular disease.
So thankful to hear you going into such detail about this topic. I started having palpitations a couple of years ago and I just learned it’s likely when my estrogen dips. My cardiology report, nothing was found wrong with with my heart, and so no treatment . None of the doctors normalized it as part of perimenopause. Not even the office that gave me progesterone and testosterone.
Great information. Wish more medical professionals knew more 🙏
Thank you, this was vey helpful 🙏🏻
I’m a rheumatologist and my patient’s gynecologist denied hormonal treatment because of cardiovascular risk… Do you have scientific reference for this? Thank you so much. She’s only 57 years old and have already osteoporosis!!!
Even the discredited WHI study showed no risk in this age group. She needs to see a menopause specialist as general gynaecologists often lack training in this area.
Thank you for so much valuable information. For me especially about using estrogen over 60. I have an issue as I take a thyroid replacement medication and am getting mixed information here about the interaction. Where is the clinic in Toronto Canada that has medical professionals trained by D. Newson?
I am taking HRT almost 1 year,Estadiol 0.05 and progesterone 100 mg.
I think maybe i need to increase my dosage,because i don't feel good i don't have energy i have anxiety i am not comfortable to drive muscles pain noo libido...
Thank you and very good information I'm learning from you dr Louis! 🤗👏
Yes, increase the dosage if you don't feel better: 100 mg is on the low end. Good luck 🍀
I get bad paresthesia I get it face , I'm hot flushing and I'm on the highest estradot patch 100mg, I'm awaiting for my mireena coil to be removed as it's not in the right place, I'm not sure if I'm having it replaced, I suffer from servere sleep anxiety, aches and pains in my muscles, I thought HRT supposed to stop these symptoms, the gynecologist want me to go on utrogestan to help my bleeding and my sleep anxiety?
Yes you definitely need utrogestan too along side the oestrogen patch. It will help with sleep & anxiety. Good luck x
I’m taking hrt and have done now for over 10years as a eating disorder put me in a early menopause at the age of 35 but now at the age of 49 my symptoms are through the roof and yet I’m still on hrt I currently take 4pump of the gel and utrogestan i don’t know what else to do 😢
Have you tried less estrogen as we need less as we get older..& 4pumps is 100mg which is alot of estrogen..
Your progesterone should be 200mg for that dose of estrogen....if not you can have issues .
@@cearilindubhlaoi9507do you mean 100mcg (not mg)? This 100mcg is perfectly fine & not that high a dose. I’m on 100mcg patch & I’m 54! Dr Newson tells us that women absorb it differently so some need higher doses than others.
How can i get Louise to see my message please .
Who am I?
There's no other way of explaining it , I fell into quicksand in my 30s
It's 10 years on now and I'm still trying to pull myself out of it I thought it was grief but now looking at Davina McCall documentary I believe It was and is perimenopause.I don't wanna say my age but I'm in my 40s , my feet ache terribly and I feel so numb in my mind that I could sit for hours in a dark room staring into space ,
I suffer with chronic hip bursitis and spinal stenosis it's called but when I walk for long a loud thundery deafening noise consumes me and I have to stop and the pain gets worse,I know that's not my pain
my ankles are swollen and voliolently painful ,sometimes I can stick my finger in and it leaves a print like Marl,
doc said its from (heat) yes heat 🤦♀️
I get very confused and anxious when shopping and my eyesight is blurry,doctor says bloods and hormones are fine , I wee a lot especially at night.I'm constantly going home in taxis crying.Daylight makes me very tired,withdrawn and weary so I was prescribed effexor, nightmares and panic are my new sleep pattern .I feel like im in a tunnel since 2013 and I think there's light until I wake up every morning tired sluggish and not one bit revived.
Everything changes the evening time when it's getting dark , I see better , my mood lifts and all the stress is gone.
I'm not depressed.
Its almost like someone switched the light of the world off and colours are faded. There's a constant hissing in my ears especially lying down, I stop breathing in my sleep and was told recently I have obstructive sleep apnea (I think it's not) I love been hot but not all the time , i cant make plans because i dont know how ill be feeling in an hours time .My glutes are tensed constantly and it hurts to alleviate this.Sometimes i just get up put on a jacket and limp to town on impulse and get things done manicky and panicky, i miss appointments a lot , i have a daughter aged 26 and she is amazing , she is very very good and we get on great , my dream is to be able to go on a holiday with her (when I'm normal) I know she would love if I got to the root of this , I'm very itchy and sometimes bleed from scratching.i am forgetful and depersonalised (not depressed) I have hypothyroidism years, when im talking to people i think they are saying how ugly i look to themselves ,I have no social life and wait for bed all day ( it makes me think tommo will be better) don't get me wrong I did loose my dad 10 years ago and a lot of friends passed away but I'm just not me anymore , I feel locked inside a strange lazy woman's body with dry hair , mood swings , extremely irritable and think people arent been real with me, i take everything personal and hate that i think people are against me (maybe they are)
things are after getting very noisy especially in shops .i change my surroundings a lot and buy new beds or chairs and get the house decorated to see if that helps but it ends up been the same after avweek,i feel I'm not part of the world and that I'm to old for anything anymore and whats the point but the other part of me is hoping the quicksandbi fell into 10 years ago will be gone one morning when i wake up (still in my 40s but been feeling this way since my 30s) maybe I'm right? My left leg is excruciatingly painful especially when I have my period which is twice a month mostly.Everything is a bother ,I don't enjoy anything not even food that's how I know because food has been my only comfort until now , even cup's are heavy , my energy has stayed back in 2013 ,
the smallest task is major followed by a deep breath of stress ,I have an abdomen scan tommo cause the pain starts by my groin.I hate looking in the mirror because of weight gain and been indoors years comfort eating.I write poetry and that takes me back to the happy Sinéad who loved the outdoors and loved myself, somewhere deep inside the broken , overweight moody stranger sinéad is begging to ye to help her because the quicksand is beginning to suffocate her .
I have to stop now because I'm feeling the need to cry because I should have wrote this years ago o cannot understand how long it's been going on,I don't have sisters only all brothers that explains why I haven't confided in family .
And don't accept the answer that your "hormon levels are NORMAL for your age"... everything you wrote sounds like perimenopause to me! Watch more of Dr Newson's videos, educate yourself, get help and don't accept a"no" from an ill-informed doctor!!!💪🍀
