Ladylou,
I called that toll free number u posted in the replies about signs of menapause have not yet heard anything back. I hope i do soon as i can't take much more of what is happening to me when it comes to the hot flashes, not being able to sleep at all, awake on and on most of the night. They seem to be getting worse <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> I have been going through this now 3 yrs day in day night, no one seems to be able to help. As i posted last that my dr tried me on several estergon's none helped. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> I a'm hoping i hear something soon as i can't take this let alone all the outher stress i a'm going through with my marrige. Thanks again so much for giving me that number! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

In the Dark-45. Glad you called them and I know you're hear soon. Did you leave the message on the recorder there?
I want to be sure you get it. I just called to get info for my daughter a week ago. I called again today and they said it would be sent out. Probably already is but taking time.
Let me know if you got the recorder and left all your info and request for packett for doctor too?
If not, call back and go through all the number, of course, every one has push 1 for this and 2 for that. and so on. LOL
But you can finally get to where you push 0 and get to talk to a live person.
Dark, I pray you can take something from them. Just be sure to take the doctors info packett to your Dr. You might want to photo copy it first or scan into your computer.
Best scenario is getting to one of the doctors on their list they send if you ask for it. They will be able to instantly know and prescribe for you. Your own doctor may be reluctant, but do not take no for an answer! He or she can call the hotline for physicians and talk directly to a pharmacist there.
Let me know if you call again. I'm sorry it takes to long, but I'm sure if you left the request, you'll get a packett in mail soon. It comes in a large envelope! Lot of info.
God bless, LouLou

Dark-Cathy, I read about your marriage here also. 10 yrs of lies and deceit is way too much.
You ask if you're being a good wife. I would think so if you've put up with this for 10 yrs. The problem is your H, and nobody has any excuse for lying and deceiving except their own lack of values.
Have you ask him to go to counseling with you? Have you talked about all this with him, and the changes needed for you to be happy? For you both to be happy?
If not, then you have to start somewhere. But to accept living this way forever is unspeakable. No one should have to contend with this type of behavior. Don't be afraid. Prepare yourself for doing what you need to do for happiness and even if that means being alone.
First, you can do all you can to save marriage, but he has to be willing, recognize his needs for change and do his part.
Be sure to let me know about your phone call. You have to leave word for them to send info with your namd and address,and a request for a doctors list too. They are wonderful there Cathy. You can call back and talk to someone in person. Just go through the rotary system til it gets to the message for 0.
God bless, LouLou

Lady lou,
Hi u ask me if i tried counceling with my H yes we have and that did not work. All he did was turn things around on me there and made me look like i was the one doing everything. He got me sooo up set that i could not even tell my side so we never did go back, b/c he would just do that again. There is no since in me even trying to talk to him about things as he either tells me that is not so or i do not know what u are talking about! I have tried and tried till i a'm blue in the face and nothing seems to work. I have lost all respect for him.I know he has been looking at porn and when i confront him all i hear is that is not so. What do u do when u can't get nothing out of him.I a'm sure there are some times he has told me the truth but b/c he has lied to me so much how in the world would i know it was the truth he was telling me. I also a'm very supious about him , due to some things that has been happening lately in our home. He is a very sneaky person allways has been. I don't know just torn right now and soooo confused. Oh u ask me if i called that number yes i did i left a message for them to send me the info. I hope i can take the stuff as i a'm on meds for seziures and have to watch what outher kind of meds i take. Cathy

In the Dark_45, Since you take other meds, your doctor or anyone you go to can talk directly to a pharmacist at Women's International Pharmacy to go over your meds with them before Prescribing. Since these are compounded hormones, it's a good idea for the pharmacist to know what you're on.
Working together, they can decide what they can compound that is safe for you to try.

As for you H? I think by now I'd have had to let him go and make a new life for myself. Are you capable of supporting yourself?
The guilty party always wants to shift the blame to someone else. It's a way of not taking a good look at themselves and then they don't have to change. If he can't or won't do this, then I see no recourse for you unless you want to continue to live the same always.
God bless and hope they can help you.LouLou

Lady lou,
At this point and time no i can't support my self! But i do have a place to go. I really diden't want to as it is my uncles home in Indy. He works but does not make much money and i hate to stay there and put that kinda burden on him, even though he says i a'm more than welcome. See my meds run very high a month around 500.00 They are very expence. I have insurence now but do not know for how long being that my H is laid off. He hast to work so many hours to be able to keep it. I used to be on ssi yrs back and they told me i could get back on it but.... i have to be living by myself no one can support me to be able to be on it.Well how a'm i supposed to support myself with no money till i recice my ssi? it is a catch 22 cause <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> That is 1 reason i have stayed so long dealing with this crap, b/c i did not know what else to do or go.I can't go to my moms b/c they are sick and retried and have very little money, and i just can't put that kind of burden on them. See where i a'm coming from?

in the dark-45, Did you get your packett from Womens' international pharmacy? My daughter received hers recently. So it took about 10 days for hers to come.
hope you have it by now. God bless, LouLou
