Firstly; I am in love with each and every one of you, your posts, comments, everything. I fell into the Reddit rabbit hole when researching solo travel for my daughter two weeks ago. I have not come up for air sense, and recently found this group. My life has changed to hundred percent since reading the posts! I had thought I was slightly crazy, suffering, early onset. Dementia, I am a 50 year old, female, possibly signs of MS, what about needing a joint replacement, definitely thinking I needed some antipsychotic meds for my mood swings. I have diagnosed myself with 10,000 horrible ailments, dragging me down. Down. Down. Reading the posts from you ladies, comments questions and encouragement realizes that this perimenopause started about three years ago, and has been screwing up my life ever since!

My mother had menopause in her early 40s, loves to brag that she’s never been on any hormone therapy had no hot flashes nothing. Although I am quite sure she has suffered from many of these are facts, they have disrupted her life, that happen, missed diagnosed and treated.

That being said, gosh, I ramble a lot!

I was reading about the estradiol/estrogen cream. I was reading about them on the Reddit page of skin care., as well as on here. I recently purchased a cream, but then reading it, it says to put on a soft part of my skin, like a wrist under arm, or it can be used on the face. Is there a difference between an estrogen, synthetic estrogen, face cream, to help with the collagen and wrinkles, versus the other types? I’m so confused.

I have no primary care physician, and I am looking for a provider, I am in Michigan, in the United States, to speak with telemed, now that I have realized that blood work is a snapshot of that day and time. Kind of just like standardized testing in schools L O L!

Any comments or feedback or info is greatly appreciated by you ladies !

Did I mention how much I love you all?
