Lowkeylife's Journal, 25 February 2024

Good morning, still bouncing between 187-189 ish. Menopause is messing with everything. While my hot flashes are under control (thank you Veozah) I’m in constant pain. This is apparently normal when estrogen plummets. I’m almost 5 months post hysterectomy and can’t decide if I made the right decision. I can’t sleep at night so doc gave me something that’s working but the morning fogginess is horrendous.
My mind is ok for the most part. I’m not moody or too much up and down when it comes to that but most def struggling with this pain, OTC meds have messed up my blood press. It’s high 🤦‍♀️
Exercise helps and I force myself 3 days a week. Work is nuts, the stress levels are unreal.
Travel honey is now my one and only honey. Im building a brand new town home. Life is good but this pain gotta go…I’m

I had a full hysterectomy at 45 due to endometriosis so I understand the pain. It does get better but the side effects from menopause are different for all women. Just keep trying different things with allowing 4-6 weeks to see if it makes a difference. My provider just recently told me to try OMEGA 3 & Vitamin E supplements to see if that helps as I can not have any type of estrogen HRT. I do know weight lifting for me has helped me as I gained over 50#'s after my procedure.

My doc did recommend E and omegas. I know weightlifting helps. I used to lift 5 days a week. With two major surgeries 10 months apart it’s been rough. It’s just getting up and going that’s hindering me. I feel so lazy but in all reality I’m in pain. I still go 3 days a week so it’s better than nothing. I’ve made an appointment to see about HRT. I’ve got weights to lift and places to see. 😄

My GYN also told me about vitamin E and omega 3 for HRT. I'm going to try it.

I know black cohosh and evening primrose has helped some people.
