I just found your blog, and it's lov...Hi Mead,<br /><br />I just found your blog, and it's lovely and full of new thoughts. Thank you!<br /><br />If you guys haven't looked into this, there's a lot of new thinking and questioning going into the issue of women's hormones and how they affect mood. Far beyond the pat PMS get-outta-the-way stereotype, there are ramifications for long-term depression, rages, energy changes, all sorts of things. My GP left her practice a couple of years ago to go run a pilot women's health program at a local hospital focussing on overlooked hormonal issues.<br /><br />It's near to my heart, because I was misdiagnosed as bipolar for about six years before discovering my own issues were /strictly/ hormonal. Well- hormones, stress, and caffeine. ;) But hormone therapy was the key. Now, I'm not suggesting that is the case here, but it's entirely possible that as your wife ages hormones could intensify her cycle. Different women react differently to estrogen and progesterone, and as we age and those levels shift it can have profound effects on our moods and quality of life.<br /><br />So, there's the mundane to balance your spiritual imsights. ;)<br /><br />~ StarStarlin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/17400448865064405069noreply@blogger.com
