I'm now working with a doctor and giving hrt a try since I'm also going through what seems perimenopausal symptoms. To be honest, I don't know what works anymore. Not only have I lost my spark for life now I physically feel exhausted. I've had all kinds of blood tests done. They did find that my ferritin levels were low (hematocrit was fine) and the hematologist ordered an iron iv transfusion. I did it about a week ago. Should begin to feel better in three weeks (if that was causing my exhaustion). I also got tested for the mthfr gene mutation and was positive, think it was C677T. I began taking Deplin. I took it years ago but wasn't sure if it was helping either. No medication has offered a robust enough effect for me to say that it is working. My pdoc seems to have given up which also doesn't help. I know I need to find a new one but I'm so tired of going from dr to dr. I've given up gluten, alcohol, and now eat fresh and organic foods, quit my job, have no stress in my daily life and still feel bad.
Sigh! Tomorrow is another day with new possibilities.
