Totally agree Tempest after what I learnt from my naturopath last year! I've always been a bit stressed out (usually by people!) but now I do find after last year it affects me more and quicker, so I do have to watch it. Unfortunately it's pretty unavoidable (unless I win the lotto!) and I'm a natural born worrier which doesn't help. I'm trying to believe in the universe and mindfulness etc but it's pretty hard sometimes!
The naturopath gave me some supplements for adrenal support and they certainly helped. Just such a shame it's a very expensive exercise over here in Oz

as I'd go more.
I can recommend Indian gingseng or Ashwagandha supplements which you can get at the health food shop. They usually come with a magnesium, b vits and a relaxing plant such as camomile. I picked that tip up from another forum and it certainly did seem to help until I decided to seek some pro help but I have some handy for when I get a bit low.
Meno arrives at the totally wrong time for ladies these days, sandwiched between kids, ageing parents, job worries etc. However, the more docs can understand how meno works then perhaps it will become a easier to support women. I'm totally amazed how something that has been around forever is so little understood by some medics!
