I'll chime in here......................honestly it's been @2 years of h3ll.......................... and still going..................seriously

Almost overnight her mood and body temperature fluctuated like Dr. Jerkyl / Mr. Hyde. At the same time she lost any and all interest in any kind of physical intimacy. She could go from laughing to crying in under 2 mins all based of words coming from her lips.

She immediately started to gain weight, in spite of trying to eat healthier. She's always been very curvy, like a coke bottle, but now she has packed on @25 lbs. all in her middle / lower area and honestly looks like she's aged 30 years. Then she developed rosacea on her face where her skin was like a baby's bottom prior. I feel for her so much and want to help and fix these things but cannot. But other than praying for her daily, I'm powerless.

There are times when I come home, almost dreading asking her about her day at work, which @90% of the time.......... is awful. She then starts replaying the entire day in all its' terrible-ness line-by-line of conversation - getting louder with each sip of wine until I'm exhausted and have to make an excuse to use the restroom or walk the dog.

It has come to the point with that I rarely even ask her about her (work) day anymore. If she does happen to have a good day, she'll talk non-stop until her food gets cold sitting down to dinner.

At my last semi-annual comprehensive physical appointment, I spoke to my physician almost entirely about her and her conditions.

Part of the issue is her female doctor refuses to perform blood work specifically concentrating or her hormone levels to see what's out of whack and when this 'time' will come to an end. The reason my doctor stated her doctor refused to do hormone blood work is that if she needed hormone replacement therapy she would be obligated to prescribe a treatment regimen, which some have attributed to causing cancer.

While it seems that in times past, replacement hormone therapy for females were given in too large of doses and not monitored enough along the way. Modern medicine has (I'm told) has resolved these issues and help is as simple as a pill(s)-away.

Finally, she recently has agreed to speak her gyno doc who apparently will do the blood work and go from there.

I can't wait.............................................. ........
