When my mother was 48 she had a massive stroke, which now with all the research that I've done due to my turning into a crazy zombie women that couldn't sleep all night and couldn't stay awake all day along with every other menopausal symptom, hot flashes, weight gain, high blood pressure, mood swings, concentration problems, allergy/stuffy nose, loss of smell and no sex drive. I'm convinced that her medical issues were due to extreme low levels of estrogen, which can cause very serious debilitating if not deadly health conditions. Just like every women does not handle pregnancy the same, they also dont experience menopause the same. Some women fly right by it with only a hot flash here and there and look at you like your a crazy hypochondriac that you think all these ailments are due to menopause. Well Im here to tell you they are! I should have knows that I wouldn't handle menopause well when I had extreme post par tom anxiety with my 2nd and 3rd child to the point of only breathing 30% of my capacity and the doctors said I had asthma.. NOT!! When I turned 48 my blood pressure rose to extreme high stroke danger levels. Of course the doctors just put me on HBP meds and sent me out the door. After much research I made an appointment to have my hormone levels checked, the doctor was baffled and said that he didnt understand how my estrogen level could be this low.. it was -50, which if you do any research on extreme levels of estrogen it causes all kinds of havoc. I thins the blood vessels in your brain and if left untreated can cause strokes, pulmonary brain aneurysms. Menoquil is awesome for the side affects but did nothing for the blood pressure, so I went on the bio-identical replacement therapy and had to go off blood pressure meds within 2 months because it was getting way too low (to my doctors surprise) because when my estrogen level was brought back up it brought the pressure down... My advise to everyone reading this.. listen to your own body, we are all different and quite frankly doctors dont know squat about this unless they specialize in it. Research Research Research, look at all the symptoms that other people have and if you are one of the lucky ones with just a mood swing/hot flash here and there bravo to you and menoquil is your answer! <3
