Thank you for getting back to me so soon. No I haven't had my hormone levels checked. I am 76 (only just last week) weigh 174lbs. Have lost 5lbs. since cutting down on bread and potatoes.
Doc. thought I was getting too much sugar and suggested that.
I am 5'3" (lost 1/2" somewhere). I do not smoke although I did for many years. Now I can't stand to be around it. I am quite active as far as housework - cleaning up after two dogs and cats - also do a lot of gardening, but cannot walk more than 5 or 10 mins. without resting. I am taking physical therapy for a degenerative hip which was X-Rayed and diagnosed many years ago but nothing was done about it at the time as I had too many other problems and doctor said 'let's take care of one thing at a time. My therapist is working on strengthening my legs. I get an awful aching across the top of legs and groin area. Not often, but it feels like the heavy ache I had when I menstruated. Maybe the hip? I am waiting for results of a biopsy taken because of an 'irregular pap test'. This is the first pap test in about 15 years.
I wake up many times at night - mainly because of my hip aching.
I eat a healthy diet. Mostly fresh fruits and plain yogurt for breakfast, sometimes an egg and one piece of toast and coffee. Lunch is a small lunchmeat & cheese sandwich with salad and supper consists of lots of veggies and lean meat or fish. I drink one glass of red wine with supper and have a few cups of tea during the day. Hope this is not too much information, but I'm trying to give you the whole picture. I just want to get my old energy back.
Hope to hear back from you.
