Hormones: Ever Deal With Them?

[iambren]

Next week I go to the doc and I'm pretty sure I'll be dealing with Low-T (low drive in life, low sex drive, lethargic). I've been reading that this is not an uncommon problem and that estrogen suppliments (along with some T.) can be beneficial too for women.

Has anyone out there dealt with medical help for hormones? And if you did was there improvenent in how you did socially, dating etc?

Well not me, but my daughter in law did and she was greatly helped. Last week I also found out my dog (lol) has Hypothyroidism which means his body cannot produce hormones that he needs, so he has a terrible skin condition because of it and he's been gaining weight and very sleepy and mentally dull lately. BUT since we got him diagosed, now he has to take medicine every day for the rest of his life twice a day and already in less than a week he is much much better. So...having your hormones balanced definitely will help you.

That dog sounds just like me! My 'mones are low and I'm to see the p.a. to discuss shots. I was "low-normal" the lab work said. Unlike the dog, I've lost weight but battle facial skin problems all the time.

I hope I get a milk bone with those shots...

Nope, I've not had any hormonal issues.

I think the weight thing can work both ways, LOL at the milk bone but I do think balancing hormones is essential and helpful.
