Patience…
You have to realize that they are at the mercy of hormonal imbalances. When things get heated, take a deep breath, walk away, give some space for the cool down and then TALK about it.
Do not ignore the raging elephant in the room as that does no good either. On top of my wife’s menopause (we called them warming trends) her Hashimotos kicked in. We knew she had a marker and kept an eye on it previously. With that proper diagnosis, we’re well in the way to managing it.
We found a great PA that can prescribe, bonus that she’s a nutritionist. Diet is just as important and we adjusted that as well. I say ‘we’ because I’m taking the journey with her so, doing my part to support her dietary changes. Proper hormone balancing helps immensely but, it’s trial an error. Pills, too much, patch was good but, started out to low a dose.. we seem to have found a sweet spot now.
Her previous gyno was worthless when it came to this phase in my wife’s life (ironic being the doc is female).
In the big scheme it’s an 8 sec. Bull Ride. Just have to hold on and hope you don’t get gored.
