"Feels like you are going mad". Absolutely. We are living in the Victorian era still when it comes to the NHS & women's health. Shockingly bad.

"Not enough research" isn't that always the way with women's health. 10:00 histamine intolerance can be tested with DOA in the body, If it's below 30 it's bad. They will tell you it's normal though if over 10. I've heard a doctor say this on another podcast.

As women enter menopausal transition, sleep patterns often undergo significant changes. Hot flashes and night sweats severely disrupt sleep.

I just got into HRT ( estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) gained weight before that and as they adjusted the doses I also was bloated , got a heavy feeling out or retaining water, my face and eyes looked rough and some edema. I could NOT RECOGNIZE my body. I adore many cool DRS who are posting very informative and challenging info out there out of their own experience with the medical system and their own menopause, however not many speak about Hrt and the genetic possibility of NEEDING ESTROGEN ( hot flashes, dry vagina, night sweats, etc many more stuff) BUT NOT braking it or processing it well. Now , I added broccoli sprouts ( because it will not lower my testosterone) and I feel super!!!!!

Everybody need to know that herbs is healthy, natural and powerful. My sister got cured of high risk Human Papillomavirus with a herbal medicine she bought and used from *DR MADIDA* on TH-cam. I recommend Dr Madida to everyone because he has really being helpful to me and our family at large🤗😊🎉🎉 🎉

Progesterone is a god send. High dosing ❤

Oh please let Sarah speak 🤦🏽‍♀️

Awe Dr Sarah Ball was my menopause specialist xxx

Shepherds purse 💓

I’m at a loss of what to do, I had no problem on the combined birth control pill but since moving to hrt (transdermal estrogen and oral utragestran) the flushing and burning itchy skin started, it’s definitely histamine related …

Thank you for this very educational discussion. I think Covid triggered this in me.

Me as well, it's not just bleeding, but flooding coz i can't control it, flowing freely with clots big and small

Thank you ladies.

You ladies were fantastic. So pleasant to listen to and a wealth of priceless information to boot. I tried listening to some other podcasts on this topic and no one else was able to provide such concise, easy to understand information. I will follow both of you now. Thank you so much!

Please i need help some advice somme referrals..anything please🙏

I had flooding for 3 weeks after my 3rd covid jab in Jan 2022 aged 44. I ended up needing emergency treatment in hospital which consisted of tranexamic acid intravenously and norethisterone tablets 3x a day for 2 weeks. Each year since I have had another flooding episode around the same time of year, really odd. Just happened again. My ferritin hangs around 6-9, Hb varies between 10 and 12 but that is taking prescription strength iron constantly. It’s debilitating and exhausting. Now trying tranexamic acid tablets to lessen blood flow during periods. Perimenopause symptoms kicked in after the first bout of heavy bleeding. But the worst symptom by far is the flooding, it’s terrifying. I am normal bmi and healthy otherwise.

Hi there Im 47 and have been in perimenopause for around 10 years Unfortunately i have felt terrible in those years and HRT made it worse 😞 from some personal research i believe my issues have been histamine based Watching your upload has really hit home to me in lots of ways My main question over the last few years has been What is wrong with me??lots of symptoms from headaches Joint pain fatigue to skin problems Sadly my nhs GPs who are very nice arent knowledgeable or experienced in this condition Where could i go for some help? i just want to feel better Best wishes to you both and thankyou xx

Should i reduce my oestrogen.?

Fantastic Your content

My teeth / gums have really suffered during menopause so found this extremely useful 🙏

WOW "Stress is inflammation to the body". What does one do?

I've started Hrt and feel my histamine maybe elevated as I'm having gut issues, acid reflux and bloating. Will changes in my diet help me tolerate the oestrogen better ?

yes this is happening to me i think.... i am bleeding and it isn't stopping .. when oes it stop? i think this could be what i am going through... but still don't know.

Wow I can relate so much to this. Thankyou so much 🤗

Brilliant conversation! Especially the point around being the sandwich generation of women !

Really informative Thank you!

First to comment!!! Just started watching and it's very nice so far!

In Chelsea you see for three rich, makes me sad

So glad you have shared this information with us, I just wish my GP would watch this too instead of giving me Rd blocks. And making me wait another week while he consuls with the only female colleague at the 2 doctor surgary

Brilliant! So educational and empowering!

Thank you for hosting Sam. She’s such a wonderful and knowledgeable guest 🙏

lol

Dr Vikram is such a precious human Beeing ! I am learning a lot through his excellent professional work Thanks for sharing blessings

What a refreshing, realistic and balanced perspective. I personally learnt a lot from this episode - thanks both. Really informative!

So informative. I've been wading through menopause without hrt since 2019 when I had blood clots on tablet hrt. Nothing was offered as an alternative when I enquired and it has been rough. I've been in to my GP this last week and had these conversations and found potential options for me and have started trying a gel and vaginal hrt. I wish I'd revisited this earlier and not just endured it.

Thank you both so much ❤

Love the spirit of this conversation!

Always so informative - thank you for this episode!

I watched your programme with interest I have been having exacerbated migraines during periods and now menopause .... I have been under private meno help and been given HRT for past two years my migraines initially were reduced in severity and frequency but now a year since tests my oestrogen has gone to half ,,,, I realise levels can change and absorption however I have had to up the pain relief codeine and I also have been on 10mgs amitrytiline I am so frustrated by the impact of the migraines as now they have returned to about 4 a month I get severe adverse reactions to any bites stings etc and infact when bitten by some ants in summer my reaction meant three to four weeks on three anti histamines a day till the hives reduced I am wondering whether there is any connection ? I see newson health again at end November as my HRT is now a different progesterone to be in relation to changing from patch with two pumps to 4 pumps and utogeston I am going to try an antihistamine which at times I do take anyways to reduce rhinitis sneezing and coughing at night any other advice you can offer I realise it's unlikely its connected but I would be so pleased if I'd found an answer as my life had been debilitated by the migraines I do eat dark choc every day spinach tomatoes etc was totally unaware they were high in histamine,,,, thanks Sam annison

Horrific, so many women suffer with this needlessly - the combined oral contraceptive pill taken every day can completely eradicate, or worst case massively reduce, heavy bleeding and flooding in the perimenopause yet too many women are incorrectly told it is "dangerous". More dangerous than life threatening bleeding and hysterectomies?! I have to pay for it privately but it's worth every penny. A minority of people with certain conditions can't take it but for the majority it's an overlooked option.

Thank you so much for sharing these messages with us Amantha. 👋

Hi Amantha akki, how are you doing

Amazing talk thank you all ❤

Thank you for this fantastic info!

I just recently figured out that I might be histamine intolerant after I developed hives all over my cheeks and eyelids hours after I ate Gouda cheese. I've had many reactions previously to various foods and dust for the past 6 months, after I skipped my period for more than 6 months. It was then I started associating my newfound allergies to perimenopause. I started low histamine diet last week and today the last red patch on my face is gone. So glad I found yr video. I'm a health professional but sadly there's still so much for me to learn.

Thank you for this episode! I look forward to learning if there are any support for women who are experiencing menopause and working. It’s been stressful.
