its doing jack for my fibro pain! lol x

[Taz2]

Hi Niecsey - Did you expect HRT to help with fibro pain. Sorry to disappoint you but if my experience is anything to go by I am afraid you will be disappointed. It does help with joint pain though which is different to the aches and pains of fibro. At least you will be able to sort out which pain is which.

    Is this [youthful-skin-with-bioidentical-hormone] already in our HRT silverlady, or is it something else, and most important, where can we get it from??   

[silverlady]

Coffeemate, taking HRT is good for the skin bones ect.

If you wanted a little extra boost for you skin, adding a tiny amount of estriol cream or estrogel gel even natural progesterone cream to a pot of moisturisor  and applying a few times a week is helpful.  http://www.antiaging.com/cyberhealth/CyberHealth_9.htm

If you google you will find lots of info and also where you can buy weaker versions of estriol cream for facial use.

Another tip for plumped up lips is to mix some Petroleum jelly with a tiny amount of cinnamon essentiall oil ( make sure you are not allergic to it) and a tiny amount of estriol cream, mix it up well and add some Rose vaseline jelly for a bit of colour.

Thanks silverlady,
can I buy the estrogel gel over the counter? or does it have to be on prescription.
Id love to try it to see if it makes a difference, any improvment would be welcomed 

[silverlady]

You can only get estrodiol gel on prescription and I don't think your doctor would precribe it just for facial use unless you went privately and they might make you up a much weaker solution for skin care. If of cause you are using estrodiol for HRT, you could always use a very tiny bit in some cream to dilute it.

If you go to Biovea UK and search for estriol-care you will find info and prices. They are a very reliable and trusted site, they also sell natural progeaterone cream too.  Originally natural progesterone cream was sold as a face cream in smaller doses, years ago in America.

I get my hormones creams as well as supplements from Bioeva, hormone creams last a very a long time as I only use a very small amount.

Thanks silverlady Ill take a look at the Biovea site,  I am taking HRT, but just thought a little extra help wont hurt.

[silverlady]

I will PM you some sites where the ladies are interested in skin care and share info.

I don't like to post too much about antiaging treatments on MM as there can be mixed reactions.

I've been using a bit of the Biovea natural estriol cream on my face for a couple of months now and can honestly say I've noticed no good effects at all - damn shame!

Is anyone taking Elleste Duet Conti? I'm just at the end of the first month of a 3 month pack and so far so good, at last the sweats/flushes have gone and I'm sleeping again. Not expecting to have a bleed on this one as I did before but wonder if the northisterone is responsible for my feeling tired and depressed, as generally everything is so much better. I do have reservations about taking HRT but have weighed up the pros and cons as my quality of life is so awful without it, just don't want to feel "down" a lot of the time. Can northisterone do this?

[skkb]

Thanks Susan. I will stick with this one as the benefits have been so good. I will see the doc at the end of the 3 months pack but hope by then everything has settled down.

I had really awful pmt symptoms with Elleste duet conti, if I had'nt changed to Femoston then I'm sure my poor hubby would have left me...he admitted to me a few weeks later that I had become "unbearable" on them!!
