I spent the last ten years of my life feeling horrible and was sick most of the time. Was always tired, got many infections, osteoporosis, and arthritis was taking over my body. Then last year my bone scan came back horrible and we knew we had to do something. I did my research and decided to go on bio-identical progesterone. Yes I am aware of the risks but really was at a point where there were not many options. So I had breast scans and overies scanned and a bunch of other tests to make sure there was no undiagnosed cancers going on then started taking the projestin.
Fast foward 7 months. I am sleeping better, have uber energy, am going to a gym with my doctor's permission, have joined two social clubs, am giving art lessons to my grandkids on weekends and am volunteering again.
One little pill... one big difference. Yes I still have many health issues but I no longer feel like **** every moment of every day. I wish my doctor would have put me on this after the histerectomy but I was too high risk for stroke due to vascular problems. Well honestly I was living half dead anyway. I wish I knew what it could do for me. I would have insisted I be put on it instead of loosing ten years of my life to illness.
My recent bone scan says I have not lost any additional bone. Hoping my next one in 6 months says I am finally starting to build it.
I actually feel like what I think a fairly normal 60+ person feels like. Sure I have my aches and pains, am slower than I used to be, have arthritis, Thyroid issues, and an autoimmune disorder. But I no longer feel like every day is an ordeal to be gotten through. The quality of ones life is very important. I just wanted to share that. -RM
