This place still alive? - Lemmy.ca

I wouldn’t mind chatting a bit about peri and symptoms. I seem to have bouts of random symptoms every few months it seems. Took some rhodiola yesterday and today and it seems to help. Also ordered a couple more adaptogens to try out. Edited to add: major stress at work right now so definitely something that’s not making this easier. Ugh. I am reading a bit on Reddit but left Reddit last summer for good and would love to have some people chat here. Compare notes so to speak.

I’d like that too. 2 years ago it’s like the wheels fell off. I’m in the peri age range but going circles with my doctor currently who seems to be in the “all women go thru it, it’s normal” camp. Which is frustrating. I’ve also been testing out alternative treatments and have found some that do seem to be making things better.

Interesting how “all man go through it” will lead to finding a relieve or treatment

So true. My doctor is a woman so I’d expect more understanding. I was talking with a friend about it though, and she felt female doctors can be less sympathetic if their own experience wasn’t bad.

Which makes sense to me, maybe she has minimal symptoms and that makes her think I’m making a mountain out of a mole hill. Although I’ve been her patient for 10+ years so she should know that’s not me.
