Yes, we have had blood work done for thyroid, sugar, hormone level, iron, on and on. With the history of cancer in my family, the only hormone replacement even suggested at this point was loestrin (sp?) I have never been able to tolerate the pill, nor are other women in my family able to. I am also not able to tolerate the progesterone cream.
We have a sonogram scheduled next week to check for fibroids, etc. - that may help explain some of the menstrual issues and a neurology consult due to the extreme memory issues. This will rule out tumors, etc.
Once the above-two are accounted for, it will simply be symptomatically treating the peri-men. or ferritin issues.
I would have to say memory impairment is my worst symptom, with hot flashes being secondary. I hope to get suggestions on this forum for supplements that I may not have considered, etc.
