I know this has been discussed before but I need some more!
ok
44yrs old- triathlete, personal trainer, back in school for a RN degree
on synthroid and BCP
IM's and 1/2's I love the distance
got off the pill back in March 09 just because I was sick of taking it- had been for 10 years- I just wanted to see how my organs would function without a hormone supplement- well it went well for about 3 months and BOOM!! Menopause! At the age of 44!! No hot flashes really but occasional sleepless nights.
Went back to the doc, was put back on the BCP to slow it down and I about decked the nurse because she told me that I needed to workout and eat better to lose the 10lbs I have gained! If she only knew what we did. I wanted to practice some Kempo on her LOL!
so here I am
was reading today and it was talking about athletic stresses and hormones (I am in RN school so we are studing this a tad)
ya know injuries, slowing down, tiredness, weight gain - GOOD TIMES LOL!!
gotta love our hormones!!!
but I cannot find any med searches on the subject or any internet articles.
we all know about life stresses (I am a blessed single mom) - they mess with our bodies
my thoughts-
I was kicked into early menopause because of:
hormonal stresses from years of athletic training, life stresses (divorce, back in school, raising boys) and my hypothyroidism
I cannot go off my older sisters experiences because they all had it all yanked out at the age of 30ish and none of them workout so.......
any thoughts??
any great articles??
anyone tried to supplement to increase testostone levels???
thanks for letting me vent!
