Menopause Mayhem.
« Thread Started on Nov 5, 2009, 5:44pm »
Anyone else have this problem while going through menopause.Four perfectly good teeth have just snapped off in 2years.The latest, one of my front teeth yesterday just snapped off whilst eating a sandwich.Dentist appointment tomorrow then doctors next week.Been trying to hold off the HRT because I think at 36 I am too young,but it is a worry when teeth just break can't imagine what it is doing to my bones.Going for a bone scan also.OH the joys.
It is such a joy to be a woman.ha ha Sx

Hi Simone
I know exactly where your coming from. i was on HRT straight after my hysterectomy. I went through a hell of a time while on them. so i am totally off them now, what i do take is calcium tablets vitamin b and d and have a bone density test every year. so far so good. i had my op in 2001 was on HRT for 3 years been off them and controlling it myself and my GP for the past 5 years and all is good so far.

Hi Doris,I was 32 when I had my surgery and I have been trying to manage for the last few years with natural therapies.Think I might have to stop being so stubborn,especially when my beautiful teeth are just crumbling. Sx

Well guess I am one of the lucky ones, did not have a hysterectomy, but have entered menopause in early 40ties. Bone Density test a couple of years ago showed osteopena (pre osteoporosis) in the hip, have not had one since, probably should.

I am refusing traditional HRT with estrogen which almost every GP or women's health center has recommended , far too cancer dangerous.

Am now on bioidentical hormones, progesterone cream and DHEA (precursor to testosterone and estrogen), no estrogen (the one that causes cancer) and lots of herbal remedies eg Remifemin a phyto estrogen, Calcium Vitamin D etc. I have no menopausal symptoms at all any more, so it definitely works.

Bioidentical progesterone cream is said to actually build up bone density, not only maintain it.

I recommend finding a GP who has a holistic view, I am seeing http://www.yourhealth.com.au/index.php

They are expensive, but it is definitely worth it.

Good luck

Hey,Flossyinoz thanks for your imput.I'm a bit like you when it comes to HRT,will try anything and everything before having to go on that.I have all the symptoms you can think of,but I have been able to cope ok on herbal remedies.I will wait and see what my bone scan reveals.
Every woman is different my mum is going through menopause at the same time and she is just breezing through it.Not fair but great bonding experience.
Keep well SX

I am sorry to hear that early menopause is causing such a problem for you. I had no idea that your teeth may be affected. I guess I always thought that menopause really meant just being hot and cold and all over the place and just being irritable??.
Can someone tell me the sort of symptoms they have been experiencing? I thought I may warn my husband that the bitchiness will get worse.....???
