Just a wee update.
I am getting on brilliantly with supplemental progesterone. I ran out of Progestogel, so I have started on Pro-Gest from iHerb, which does not smell of alcohol and is a cream you can use on your face. It is not my imagination, but I just look so much better! It makes my face all glowy in the morning. I don’t think you can overdose on topical prog. This is the cream the famous Dr Lee recommends.
I am also convinced my brain chemicals were completely screwed up over the years. Closely tied to hormonal changes. I never ever had any motivation or joy….my life was just so miserable for years and years and years. Utterly depressed and anxious ALL the time. I read somewhere about B vitamins helping anxiety and increasing dopamine…so I also started taking a supplemental B vitamins. Thyamine, B12, Biotin and Folic. Honestly, I’m a different person. At 62, I’m waking up exited about the day, motivated, looking forward to the future. I’ve stopped drinking wine to escape. It’s life changing. I’ve no idea what actually helped but I’m not stopping any of it. Still taking the Prozac although it does nothing.
Honestly…my life is so much better.
