Plateau already?

Cathe, have you had your thyroid checked at all recently? An
underactive thyroid gland could certainly cause some of the slow
metabolism symptoms you describe. Apparently (according to my
endocrinologist) one can have borderline thyroid disease for year, and
then with perimenopause it kind of kicks into high gear. That's
certainly what happened to me.

Hi Chris,
Yes, I had full panels done every year since I had throat cancer 12
years ago. But, since that perimen. seems to be causing all sorts of
problems, I think you're right that I should ask for a new screening.

Thanks for that!

Still not getting it, are we? Let's take a poll - are there any women
reading this NG that didn't know it's possible to experience weight
gain
due
to their TOM? It is silly that you think you have to remind a woman
about
the possibility.

In this newsgroup, probably not, but my girlfriend never noticed the
pattern
until fairly recently (probably because she usually weights only once a
week). She just thought it was the normal weight fluctuation, but never
made
the link with her menstrual cycle.

I remember that quite a few women on this newsgroup and
alt.support.diet.low-carb never made the link, either.

Cite please.

Making
connections like this, without external input, is not easy. My wife
was not quite aware of pre-menstrual weight gain, either.

Should I say it....naw too easy! : )
