Hi ladies
I'm looking for some advice on progesterone cream. I've read a lot about it on the power surge website-people seem to have mixed results!
I'm 44, have had anxiety/depression & been off work for 7 months (I've improved greatly thanks to meds,therapy & time but still not quite 100%)
doc has done tests and hormone levels show as normal but I'm convinced I'm in perimenopause. I suffer with heavy painful periods, wake up soaked in sweat (with no anxiety), headaches, body aches & my anxiety is much worse around period time-do you think progesterone cream will help? I don't want to make myself worse but I'm willing to try OTC things to help. I take 100mg sertraline, B complex, multivit & evening primrose tabs daily.
Does anyone have experience with prog. cream? Should I use it if doc hasn't prescribed it? I'd be grateful for any advice/suggestions pls
BTW my Mum was 38 when she started her menopause & had hysterectomy at 43-not sure if I've "inherited" that!
