Hi!
Menopause is natural. Yeah! Right ........ but it throws up symptoms that can aggravate already chronic conditions or cause some all on it's own
thanks for sharing. As oestrogen levels drop so the body may become dry: inside and out; skin, scalp, vagina, mouth, nostrils, deep in the ears. Also, which toothpaste are you using? SLS is included in many preparations so it might be worth trying to cut it out of shampoos, toothpaste etc.. If it's in paste I get burning mouth as soon as I eat bananas, toast, chocolate ....... which makes breakfast choices really limiting!
Rest as much as you can. Have you tried 'rescue remedy' mouth spray or pastilles for anxiety? I don't think that the contain lactose but check in case. That must cause limitations throughout your food choices?
Many ladies find that they cannot tolerate soya anyway, despite us reading that the Japanese probably have less meno symptoms as their diet is high in it. So perhaps cut it? Many ladies cannot tolerate progesterone either.
Read our threads about bladder issues and vaginal atrophy B4 they become a problem. Not everyone suffers, however
