I do suspect hormones kinda, in that mine all started with thyroid issues, and I have recently found out I have auto immune issues, hashimoto.
I have no evidence of menopause yet, even though I am 47, I have very regular periods, never missed one, rarely late or early. I have major PMS and I believe major estrogen dominance for sure.
Hopefully all these things will help, nothing else is yet. I missed Easter with my family today, we drove to the restaurant and the AC broke and the room reserved for the party was HOT. One step in and I knew I would not be able to stay, heat sets off a flare big time. I had to leave everyone 10 minutes after arriving and go home and be alone. I am ready for a break through.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and wishes, and help!
Happy Easter

We probably shouldn't be talking about all of this personal stuff all over the boards but here we are! What I suspect is that my PN may have come on for more than one reason - it may have been a combo, because it was a combo of items that seemed to help me so much in the end - Vitamin D and B1 shortage, Lyme, run flat out of the hormone progesterone (perimenopause when my PN started and then menopause also as of last summer).
As good as my PN has been, I do not kid myself that it is gone. I still take my Vitamin D, B1 you told me about that I can never spell (Bentfiomine?), my progesterone, etc. Do you think I will quit that? No, because I am not cured, I am treated.
I suspect you are right, your issues may also be from a combo and require different items to bring it down to where you are happier most days.
In Doc Lee's book, he says estrogen dominance usually occurs seven years before your hormones actual register to the point where you are 'technically in menopause.'
I also think that you should try only one new thing at a time, to see if that helps you or not.
I read online - true or not, don't know - that if Vitamin D were to have been discovered more recently, it would be classified as a hormone, not a Vitamin with a letter on it. When I read that, it was like a light bulb went off over my head as to why it helped me so much when I got that Vitamin D level straightened out.
I have big hopes for you and thanks again for what you did for me
