I've had problems in the past with upper gastric--reflux problems but have had ''almost none' for the last 3 or 4 years--am I safe in taking this drug? I have a call in to my primary--but he's out of town and I didn't get a call back from the gyn doctor as yet--so wondering if I am putting myself at risk taking this. I take other meds--pharmacist said no contra-indications on those--but I didn't mention the increase in Vit. D and Calcium I'm now taking. I've also read where this med can cause 'jaw bone problems' and to be sure and tell the dentist if you're taking it. It sounds like a very potent drug and I'm wondering if I should hold off taking it until I"m cleared by my internist or get more answers concerning bad side effects? Thanks.

It was such a candid presentation that I also made my husband watch it, just so he could empathize better with my situation

protein low carb diet for two weeks and the scale has not moved at
all. I walk for 45 minutes/day. Does anyone have any suggestions
to what I can do to get this weight off? Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.View Thread
Does being in menopause (and not perimenopause) mean that I'm done ovulating? I've seen varying minimum FSH levels listed for menopause--anywhere from 25 to 40 for the low level. How can I know how long I've been menopausal if the b.c. pills were masking it? My doctor said I don't need to use contraception any longer, but after years on birth control, I'm worried I might be the exception: the woman in menopause who gets pregnant. Can I reliably stop using contraception at this point?
When does menopause end and postmenopause begin? What's the difference?View Thread
I did start those 2 years ago and stopped, start and stopped, now that i just found out that my bone density results show osteopenia, (early sign of osteosporoses), i am more scared and it is one more reason for me to take the hormones. i try just to accept that, but it is so hard, at age 41, so many thing happening bcause os menopause. My belly is ridiculous huge, i am always bloated, and no matter what i do, can not loose weight. Do exercise 5 times a week and watch what i eat. Any experience to share with me? thank you so much.
I am desperate right nowView Thread
Since I have not had to deal with monthly hormonal swings, I am now wondering about my 'moods'.
Now that I have gone through menopause, I am wonder if the way I feel, anxious and irritable, is the way I'm going to be?
I am 61.View Thread
My new Gyn doctor has said I need surgery--preferably, but we could try the pessary first.
Since I don't have incontinence--but occasional 'urge incontinence' and frequent urination, I've not had this condition addressed and the doctor said I was headed for major problems if I didn't have it addressed.
So, I have opted for the Pessary, but am having 2nd thoughts and even thinking about postponing the surgery too for awhile anyway.
Just wondering if anyone here has had it--at my age or at least older women and how successful it has been in helping you. ThanksView Thread
I am a 43 soon to be 44 year old woman who has had 31 day cycles with a 6-7 day length in period most of my life, but recently I have been getting them every 25 days and this last one only lasted 3 days. In January, I had two periods in a month for the first time ever. This doesn't bother me, what is bothering me is the re-occurrence of anxiety, heart palps and now I have been dealing with an "adrenaline surge" feeling in my chest every night when I lay down to sleep, it sometimes takes me 40 minutes to fall asleep because of them. I remember vaguely getting these last year but they only happened very very sporadically, now it's nightly. I'm a little worried, but I do have a doctors appt next week, hopefully to check my hormone levels but from what I am reading, if I am still having periods, doing hormonal testing isn't the correct thing to do?
Thanks for any help!!View Thread
However, I cannot for the life of me sit and concentrate on anything anymore! I have such a need to go do something else! I hate watching tv and cannot read for more than a few minutes, or do just about anything that requires me to sit and concentrate for a long period of time. The only place I can actually do that is at work because I have to! I never had this problem before, even as a kid.
I have read that an adult cannot develop ADHD; that it has to be there from a young age. As a child I could sit for hours and concentrate.
Is anyone else dealing with this problem, and if so, can it be caused by hormones or dementia (eeekk!) or something else? I seem like a busybody to my family because I am constantly cleaning or doing yardwork or walking around. It doesn't really bother me, but it does bother them! At least I am staying fit burning all my energy!View Thread
