Life-Changing!!

I have been working with Midi Health for a few months now - and it has been absolutely life changing.

I cried at the end of my first visit, finally feeling heard. My regular PCP and GYN both agreed I was in perimenopause, but both said they couldn't do anything for me besides writing me a script for birth control to regulate my periods... Um, does that help with all the other issues I am having? No.

I am 39 and have been symptomatic the past two years. I was also diagnosed with ADHD in the last year as well (again my PCP agreed but dismissed me) and I had to find help on my own for that. ADHD and perimenopause are closely linked.

But this spring I saw an add for Midi (the funny one where the guy wears a wig and is complaining about everything LOL!) and I made an appointment. And then I met Leuw Thornton and my life was forever changed.

She has helped me start several hormone medications so I can feel like a human again. My GSD - almost vanished! My fatigue/brain fog - disappearing! Night sweats/hot flashes - improved significantly. My mood so much better with my kids, spouse, and clients at work. And my ADHD medication working better than before.

My biggest compliant before starting with Midi was the frequent urge to pee, and the several UTI's the past year. Two beach vacations in 6 months were ruined by UTI's out of nowhere, as I hadn't had one in over 10 years before that. I kept thinking, surely this is not normal? Is there something wrong with me?

With Leuw, we talk about perimenopause symptoms, hormone side effects to watch out for, about how long it takes to balance things out, and how younger people are getting diagnosed these days. I am heard, and she explains why I feel what I am feeling. She's just been an absolutely amazing person and helping me so much with my health. <3

Aussie Rescue Puppy!

I wasn't sure of the breed at first but came here and I'm fairly certain he's an Aussie!

He is a rescue puppy with a rescue group that focuses on shepherds of all kinds. He's the absolute sweetest boy! First time fostering, and first time with an Aussie! 8 weeks and getting over Parvo. All the snuggles!

I plan my day around my fatigue

I get up around 7:30 in the morning with my elementary age children, maybe a little later on the weekends, and then plan my day knowing I will face fatigue by afternoon.

And no I'm not talking about the afternoon crash where you need a cup of coffee to push through until 5:00. I'm talking about the 3:00 p.m. crawl in bed because the fatigue is so bad and the motivation is so low. My brain and body are no longer cooperating for anything else.

My husband asked if we wanted to work in the garden this morning for mother's day weekend. I literally said I'm nervous about doing any yard work outside because I need to plan around being fatigued come 3:00 and we have plans with friends at 3:30.

Yeah so that's my peri story. 😂
