No HRT offered after the WHI study. My hot flashes were horrid until I followed a diet of food choices based on their thermal properties as described in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Gave up "hot" foods, ate fewer "warm" foods and ate more "neutral," "cool," and "cold" foods. Relief!

Or at least a dirk like Claire from Outlander.

Me, too. I finally learned that each time I went down to the basement for something to just bring up a roll of paper towels. That was usually the reason.

Who knew that estrogen was a mild anti-inflammatory agent? I sure didn't.

Being prepared for #perimenopause can help a lot - I had no idea what was going on when mine began. I didn’t know I was #Autistic back then either.
I’ve been doing research on Autistic #menopause with colleagues (two more papers are due out soon) please see: www.AutisticMenopause.com
