Finding Balance

I know most women in their mid-thirties don't even think about these things, but here I am! After years and years of multiple health issues a team of doctors and therapists finally started putting my pieces together. Most of my problems were interrelated and changed drastically during each of my pregnancies. Two of my physicians suggested looking into bio identical hormone replacement.

I had tried over the counter drugs for endometriosis, thyroid problems, depression, OBGYN issues and loss of appetite. Nothing really seemed to address the gambit of symptoms and pain I was experiencing. I really felt drained after the 15 year process of trying to find some peace and comfort. Surgeries, specialists, and side effects one on top of the other.

I am now two weeks into the process of hormone replacement after my tests came back that I had a major progesterone deficiency, issues with cortisol and androgen balance. Finally I saw on paper what we have suspected for so many years. It just makes sense to me to go to the root of the problem and start healing instead of trying to patch up symptoms. You may want to look into it for yourself. Here in Utah there is "All for Women Health Care" and Jolley Compounding Pharmacy.





I also found out about a prescription drug called Deplin from a friend of mine who suffers from severe post par tum depression. Yet another answer to prayers.

Taken from their website, here is an explanation of the supplement which helps process anti-depressants to make them available and effective.

Deplin® Facts

How Does Deplin® Work?Deplin® works through a natural process in the brain to regulate all three monoamine neurotransmitters associated with mood by providing the increased dietary requirements for folate. L-methylfolate is needed by depressed patients with suboptimal folate to regulate the synthesis of monoamines (serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine) and known as a trimonoamine modulator (TMM). By managing trimonoamine neurotransmitter synthesis, L-methylfolate, when taken with antidepressants, improves benefits.
