To Mauri (Spironolactone, Aldactone)
» » » Mauri, in reliance on yours and Delilah's experiences, I am going to
» see
» » » Dr. Redmond in August. I am being treated by a Dr. who prescribed me
» » » bioidentical estrogen and progesterone, spiro and proscar. I've been
» » doing
» » » OK, but recently my shed is up after I learned that I'm experiencing
» » » "estrogen dominance." I feel that I need to try another route. I'm
» » hoping
» » » Dr. Redmond, who specializes in hormones, can tweak my hormones and
» get
» » me
» » » balanced again.

» » Hi LisaS,
» »
» » Dont know what your dosages are but it was not until I up'd the
» » finasteride to 5mg and the spiro to 200mg with the vivelle being raised
» » also to .1mg patch that my hair started behaving:o))) I wont tell you
» my
» » estrogen is not on the high side however I am a believer that some ppl.
» » must have higher estrogen to get success. That is why I am still
» getting
» » blood tests from time to time to see where it is registering.
» Unfortunately
» » in peri it changes so much. One test I had was 170 and the other 110.
» » However last year it was 160 in January and then 85 the next time. Its
» » tricky and we know we dont want it to stay too high for too long. It may
» be
» » in the near future that I will have to drop it down to .075mg again.
» Like
» » Dr. Redmond says, some ppl. require more estrogen to keep hair and also
» to
» » grow it. I dont think you will go wrong going to doctor Redmond. Make
» sure
» » you take any blood test copies and let him know your dosages as well as
» how
» » and when you hair has changed. Dont get me wrong, my hair has its days
» too
» » but I can say I am happy and it does look tons better. No spots at
» least.
» » Let us know how the appointent goes. Just be honest how you feel and
» have
» » some questions written down that you might want to ask. I other words,
» get
» » your money's worth:o))) I went twice but that was my decision. Im not a
» » phone person and I just took off and flew back in February because I
» felt I
» » was losing the battle with my hair. Actually if I had started all the
» meds
» » when Dr. Redmond had told me, my hair probably would have started
» getting
» » better sooner. I didnt:o(((( So if he tells you he thinks you need
» thyroid,
» » I'd take it. I think the thyroid plus the estrogen has helped
» tremendously
» » with my hair growth. My nails even began growing and they havent grown
» in
» » years. Good luck.

» Hi Mauri
» thanks for that info. Can i just ask, you said that it wasnt until you
» took 5mg finasteride and 200 spiro with the vivelle dot being raised to 1mg
» that your hair started to improve. Can i just ask how do you know that its
» not just the finasteride and spiro that are helping. How did you know you
» were going into peri. Did you have other changes happening to your body.
» Did you lose your periods ? you also had thyroid problem ? did you find
» this out through your test results. It sounds like you had more than one
» presenting problem.
»
» thanks for your help and kind words mauri. When I was reading your first
» entrance i couldnt agree with you more. It stops you from living in any
» form but physical.
Not Mauri but usually peri is somewhat age related..starting usually in your 40s, some women younger but that's not very common. You're not considered in menopause until your period has stopped for a year.
In Mauri's case she was on Fina and Spiro but also upped the estrogen so it's hard to know what was the drug that changed things but my guess was the estrogen. Some women in peri don't require either fina or spiro and just estrogen alone will help them.
