OK this one I can definitely respond to. This module (plus the promise of a good night's sleep -- which topics are inextricably related in perimenopause for most of us!!!!!) is the one that got me hooked on PATHs. And I am never looking back.
I'll spare you the gorey details (but if you want to compare notes...pm me!!!!!!!!!!), but let's just say that I was slammed into perimenopause in the most dramatic way (32 symptoms of peri have been identified...in one moment I began to experience somewhere around 2/3 of them...WITHOUT HAVING RESEARCHED PERI B/C I HAD NO IDEA I WAS HEADING INTO IT!!!) at age 47. I didn't know what had hit me until I did the research and figured it out. Even then, I couldn't believe my body could go as haywire as it did (it's such a NICE body...such a COOPERATIVE body...she and I had gotten on SO WELL up to then!!!!!!!!!!).
I'm 56 now. Just had a birthday (april 22). I am still having periods (Frank? Stop reading
) -- REGULAR periods every 30 days for the most part (with some 3 month gaps) -- but they've changed (again...not going into detail here, if you're in peri you can well imagine)... and for the most part, this far down the line, the worst of peri seems to be over....I don't have mood swings, I don't get migraines, I've actually regained my pre-peri body thanks to Isagenix which is a cleansing/fat-burning program that pretty much restored my body to pre-peri norms....so my metabolism is great and I feel wonderful most of the time....
EXCEPT FOR....................you guessed it...........
NIGHT SWEATS THAT COULD QUALIFY AS A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN/TIDAL WAVE and HOT FLASHES THAT STARTED COMING ON EVERY TEN MINUTES, REPLETE WITH SWEAT GUSHING FROM EVERY PORE ON MY BODY...NOT KIDDING...EVEN MY ANKLES WOULD SWEAT....24/7.
Okay so this got a little....hmmmm....the word disabling is not strong enough. It started sometime this past February. I was a furnace oozing sweat all night long. I'd have hot flashes and niagra falls sweating all day (try to conduct a meeting under those circumstances). I felt HORRIBLE. So I went back on progesterone cream. That helped with the hot flashes a lot, except that
then i STARTED GAINING WEIGHT AND EATING MORE!!!!!
And I still had horrible insomnia, as per usual. You know the kind....fall asleep just peachy. Wake bolt upright at 1:45 a.m.....Stay awake till 5:30 (1 hour before the alarm goes off)....fall asleep, sleep the sleep of the dead, and then...uh-huh...the alarm goes off and you are expected to:
FUNCTION????????????????????????
Enter PATHS. This is no exaggeration. I started PATHS on March 1st. I started with 4 modules, one of which is the Change of Life. Two days later I started sleeping like a baby (still am. and that alone makes this stuff worth whatever they charge for it!!!!!!!!!!!). But also....NO MORE HOT FLASHES. NO MORE NIGHT SWEATS. I'm not kidding. They just....stopped.
And they stayed stopped. It was as if I were not perimenopausal at all. In the last couple of weeks (it's now the end of April) I started noticing one or two hot flashes during the day...and some sweating at night (but NOTHING like what it was when I started PATHS) and contacted the company. They said it was normal for this module but that they would shift things for me. That helped, and the symptoms went away again. And then the last day or so have resumed...but again...NOTHING like before.
So here's what I have to say to ANY WOMAN EXPERIENCING PERI SYMPTOMS YOU DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE...do this module. Work with the company to get it right for you...but DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!
