Hey Ladies, I have been in menopause for a good six months. I can not take any hormones not even herbal supplements due to another medical condition I have, and I am not sure that hormones would have been a good choice. I had a hysterectomy in my early 30s and they left the ovaries for the estrogen, the ob/gyn says my testosterone is a bit high and will retest that in a couple months. I did have an external and internal sonogram and all looks well.
I do get hot flashes but generally only at night when I am home. My feet are constantly sweaty, ick, I bought some nice quality all leather sandals and have other leather shoes I can wear. I also bought some foot powder spray to cut down on the sweatiness....tmi, they don't stink, thankfully but oh so sweaty feet. I have also noticed a problem with acne as I am prone to it, I am using St. Ives apricot scrub on my entire body and that seems to be working, I also cleanse with tea tree oil soap and use witchhazel to dry out any blemishes.
Any tips to get me through this? I do seem quite moody but I am also in the process of moving, changing jobs and I should mention I live with a mood disorder.
Thanks in advance!!!! Sweaty feet, UGH!!!
