Estrogen Injections?

I heard about estrogen injections and I wonder does anyone in here do this? It’s bio identical estrogen supposedly and it bypasses the liver and apparently it’s superior in the fact that the dose is completely controlled.

No official diagnosis but told to eat “lots of salt”

I was recently Dx with hEDS by a genetic doctor back in March. I just had a cardiologist appointment and he told me to “eat lots of salt and drink 3 liters of water” while I wait for my tilt table test. What is “a lot of salt?” I’ve always been a salt lover. I was getting chastised my entire life for over salting foods. So how much is “a lot of salt”? And if I don’t have an official diagnosis is this ok to do? He also told me to wear compression socks? Do these really help? For reference I’m a 51yo female and I’m also in perimenopause (yay me) and my doctor is within the Duke University Network of medical professionals.

Ikoo Hair Products?

I recently bought a bunch of different Ikoo products from WhatNot. The claim is “German brand based on Chinese medicine” I noticed the shampoos and conditioners seem to be made in Greece. I’m extremely sensitive to many products and just wondering if anyone has any input on this brand?

So I’m in perimenopause and I was finally diagnosed with hEDS just a few months ago at age 51. Unbelievable that zero of my multiple doctors suggested it considering all my issues! Anyway, is anyone else in perimenopause and how is it affecting you and do you have any advice?
