I have decided to ask for help and support to help me thru and here I am.
My sister was diagnosed with emphysema a month ago it was a huge shock and sent my mum into a tail spin ...she had not been feeling well for several months and as my sister was moving interstate we thought it was just stress. then last friday mum was diagnosed with a brain tumor....my sister is thousands of miles away amd my mum lives an hr from me then Monday I blew the motor of my my car up so I am now standed unable to get to her or anything else. I am feeling like I am drowning and don't want to turn to my old enemy anymore so I am taking contol of the one thing I can and starting Atkins again. I need to be strong and make sure I am here for them both.
Sorry for pouring this all out in my first post but I need to unload this and start again to gain control of my life.
God bless this forum and everyone here you are all life savers to me
Hugs

My doc. recommends that I stay on my daily 1mg of estradiol. She is a purist and tests me often. She doesn't believe in conventional drugs. She has written several books on HRT, and a couple other books a/b the pharmaceutical (sp?) industry. She says there is no proven direct link between estrogen and weight gain or ability to lose weight. My estradiol has helped in these specific ways: my skin is more supple. I have reduced my hot flashes to virtually none. Anxiety levels are down. I take Prometrium (progesterone) twelve days out of the month. It helps with anxiety. It is "dreamy" for sleeping and I understand it helps prevent thickening of the uterine walls. Anyway, my weight loss is always slow, even with considerable exercise. I'm wondering if anyone has eliminated estrogen and then began losing more weight. Any successful supplememts for estrogen? Experienced comments would be greatly appreciated. :love: ]]> 50+ Atkins vmartennis http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/50-atkins/82105-anyone-taking-estrogen-how-weight-loss-going.html
