mkoven Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 i'm really struggling with wacky hormones, which are worsening everything--sleep, mood, temperature regulation. I'm 43 and my periods are still relatively regular, though my cycles run short-- 22 days. I can feel a big crash around ovulation, and then it's rough till day 3 of my period. I actually only feel "normal" about a week out of the month-- the rest of the time I'm premenstrual, or I have my period. Ugh. Fatigue, bad moods, insomnia, pots, hot flashes, ravenous, night sweats, headaches, more joint slippage. I don't want to take hormones or the pill, because of a family history of breast cancer. I've had bad luck with ssris. A gynecologist told me that she is comfortable with black cohosh, if a standardized brand like remifemin is used. Like many potsies, I react strongly to meds. Has anyone tried black cohosh? side effects? helpful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
