Thank you for updating us. I'm so sorry you've had so much going on. Really hope your health gets under control and you manage to start the HRT soon. Awww poor Mum, bless her. Really hope she gets the courage to use the mobility scooter, I'm sure it would make so much difference to her and give her a little more independence. Sending so much love to you all ❤️❤️ xxx
Please send lots of love to your lovely muvver, she’s been such fun on your videos and she’s sorely missed. I hope she conquers her fear of using the mobility scooter.
HRT is a game changer it gives you back your life ,being able to sleep at night makes all the difference to absolutely everything else in life ,hope you get your prescription soon Carla xxx
Can you imagine if men were the people needing HRT it would be an all out national emergency if it wasn’t readily available. I did hear mention of it a few months ago but then it all went quiet and I’d wrongly assumed the issue was all sorted.
Thank you for the update Carla. Sorry to hear that your Mum is not very well, hopefully she will gain the confidence to go out on her motobility scooter, especially when the better weather is here. I have ostio arthritis in both my knees, I am waiting to see the physio to have quortozone injections, this cold weather doesn't help. I am like you and your Mum and prefer the summer months, especially the lighter mornings and evenings 🤗. Sending lots of love to you and your lovely family and Mum xx
Hi carla, I love your videos, I am 56 in full blown menopause, have all the symptoms you mentioned even the itch,with the sleep thing I use kalms,I find these tablets work.
Best wishes to u all,including the lovely dogs.
You are a dear, Carla. Best wishes going forward into 2023*
I can relate to non stop health problems/worries 😏 but definitely bring on the summer, this was a definite kind of vid but enjoyed, aww the 🐶 s, I think our furry friends always make us emotional xx
Oh bless so sorry about your mum , she's so wonderful in your flags. Hope all are feeling well which includes you and all the family 😊
Thank you for the update Carla , 💐 for you and your mum and 🦴 for the dogs x
Thanks for the updates and I'm so glad that the pillow is helping you sleep better and fingers crossed you get your HRT and knee stuff sorted soon. Take care to you, your mother and the dogs too.🤞🙏🐕🥰
I can relate to so much of this. I started HRT around 8 months ago and it’s been a lifesaver.
My mom brought a electric wheelchair last year, but she’s just not very confident in it, guess it’s a age thing. She would never go out alone in it and around the shops she could do with a warning 😮 life will improve with HRT Carla x
Thank-you ❤
Thank you ,❤
I started HRT at 39 years old after premature Menopause
Never looked back
Great Video
Love to you all xx
Diet and nutrition are very important at this time don't neglect this aspect and just think that HRT alone is a miracle
Ohhh lovely Carla , you are such a lovely soul , thank you for sharing , you echo so much of what most of us ladies are going through..... Menopause, HRT is great , but it's not a magic bullet , I thought I'd turn back to a 20 year old.....but not so..😥😥😥, I feel this winter has been extra long for some reason , and mood is so connected to it , I like you are much better in the summer....., But on we go , hoping for the best , trying to be in the moment, but we have to learn to be kinder to ourselves , life is tough , but as women we try to be all things to everyone , do take care .......and remember your SPECIAL.......XXX💟💟💟
Hi Carla send my love to your mum and HRT will definitely help with brain fog 🤞🏻 your beautiful dogs are fantastic and I got teary 😢 when you talked about that rainbow bridge my dog is not well at the moment and I haven’t cried so much in ages they just have your heart ❤️
Hope you all the best 💖💖🐾🐾🐾
Your hair always looks so sleek and shiny.
I’m glad you’re starting HRT-you sound similar to me symptoms wise and I’ve also started on Oestrogel and Utrogestan (which I also think is the best and safest form) and have had great results so far. Good luck, I’m sure you won’t regret it. Many many more women should be on HRT for their health, not suffering needlessly.
Me too, I'm on both of those, best thing I've ever done 😍
Hang in there Carla… I reckon you will conquer “the challenges” of menopause in great stride!!!!!!! Love your chats.
I'm so glad you are going to get hrt ,it does help and hope you don't have to wait too long.I hope you get your knee scan very soon ,im now waiting for an out patients appt to see if my surgeon will give me a new knee .I hope the weather gets warmer soon and you feel happier in yourself .Its nit much fun being a women of a certain age at times .I hope your mum gets her confidence with her scooter soon too .Tale care and sending hugs .xx.
Thanks for the updates Carla. Getting older is not for the faint of heart that's for sure, please give your lovely mum a big hug from us. xx
Hi carla I decided not to go on hrt and its been difficult very difficult but I've got thru it , im now 60 . I have cervical spondylosis and my neck is soo bad it crunches and seizes and I get spasms in my arms and they jump about . The specialist wanted to remove several things to do with my discs 4,5,6,7,and 8 and place a metal cage around them but I'm just too much of a coward to have it done , I also have a constant tremor of my head . I hope you get some relief with the hrt and your joints I had my new hip 3 years ago and it's been brilliant xxx
Hi Carla , thanks for your update. Pleased your eyes are sorted shame about the HRT. I cannot understand this shortage, it is ridiculous, anyway hope you get it soon. I had a very good menopause, total hysterectomy at 45 and on HRT for 10 years and never had any symptoms so I was lucky. Feel for all who suffer, so good luck with that. My partner has just had the heart failure thing but I think it covers a lot of variations. Hope your mum gets to master her scooter, it will be life changing for her. Your dogs are lovely and I was wondering how Kai got on so hope he does well. Spring is here so hopefully the gloom will lift, it is just a shame it has gone so cold! Stay well!!!
Carla your hair looks absolutely stunning 😍
Great to hear about all the family. Sorry to hear your mum isn't too great. Let's hope she'll use the scooter. Fingers crossed for kai. When dogs get to 'that age' it's just so upsetting. I lost 2 of mine last year. No matter how much you try and prepare for the inevitable, it's still the worst feeling in the world. Sending you love and best wishes x
Thank you Carla for this xxxx
Oh Carla we could be twins I actually thought I had something really wrong with me in the summer only to find out it’s the peri menopause at 44 at it was perfectly normal! I have tried diet and exercise but had to go back to GP in February as the symptoms are so bad I am scared I will lose my job the fatigue and memory issues are so bad so I am starting the HRT train this week. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
I forgot to say I think I might try the pillow xx. Checked and I cant lay flat and have to sleep propped up so it's no good to me but worth a look x
Sending hugs. Sometimes you just need to get it off your chest. Furbabies mean so much to us and it's heartbreaking when we have to call time. Hope your mum feels better soon. X
I live in Bristol Carla and I must be lucky I always get a Doctors appointment on the same day .I hope you don't need a new knee I had one in July and its been a nightmare I can't bend it so I now have to go back in Hospital for more surgery. Hope your scan will be okay 👍
Love to your lovely family Carla .. Mobility Scooter is a great idea x
I’m currently waiting for a knee scan also, it’s been seven months now. Hope you get your appt soon.
Thanks for the updates. Just wiping the tears from your mention of the rainbow bridge…it’s been 18 mths for me and I still miss my sweet girl. Hope you can get hold of the HRT ..I started on the cream, then the gel sachets now the patches cos of availability issues for the oestrogen. Just put in a script for the progesterone..hope it’s in as that’s not been a problem as yet for me🤞. I do hope your mum is brave enough to enjoy her scooter. ❤
Ooh Carla, First of all really pleased you were brave enough to go to hospital, I'm not that brave. Huge hugs to your Mum hope she feels better about the mobility scooter soon. About your 2 older dogs, I lost one of mine last April and it's still a bit raw. Xx
Carla I had a few tears with you when you were talking about your dogs. We have two older Jack Russells and our Rosie is deaf and confused and Alfie has a heart condition. They were both se ior rescue dogs and we think they are abput sixteen or so. Hope you get onto the HRT soon. It will make a big difference. Good luck with the physio on your knee. Why they won't do a scan first makes no sense. Glad to hear your mum has the scooter. Perhaps take her to a carpark to practice. Best wishes from Oz😘🦘
Bristol city council with these bus problems is awful for disabled and older people. Even my husbands respite that is run by Age concern looks like it’s ready to close. He was attending Bristol 600 before but the shut 2 down pre covid and combined. Then took off the transport!
I can identify with everything you say on every topic Carla. Thank you for sharing and updating. Makes me feel better knowing I’m not alone going through the things you mention. Take care. Look forward to your next vlog. X
Yes hrt will help with sleep and pain in your body.. It works for me and I am postmenopause..
Also while you wait for hrt try using magnesium cream at night it also can help with sleep...
Are you having collagen it will help you with your bones and body...
Thank you for your honest update, hope your mum gets to use her scooter it will broaden her mobility, best wishes to you all❤️👍🏻
Lovely to know how everythings going with everybody and have a catch up chat. Thank you Carla. That pillow looks fab just what I am in need of. xx
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.keep positive x
Thank you for the update. You've certainly got a lot going on! I too was welling up with the updates on the amigos....bless them 😍. How great it would be for your Mum to be scooter-confident. Hope she progresses well. Sooo done with winter but it isn't quite done with us yet is it 😨. Is Lainie ok please? She seems to be absent ....apologies if I've missed something.
Started hay fever tablets last week and sleep is abit easier. My rage is bad at the moment- thanks to lack of b12 and mental health issues. I need to phone docs tomorrow. Received a letter from a local hospital about them recovering me from that department. Just very ill and tired.
Love to you all xx ❤️❤️
Your hair looks lovely xxx
It was so lovely that you did this vlog as I was wondering how you were all doing.
I hope you get all your health issues sorted after you have worked so hard to lose your weight.
It’s a worry when our pets get older so enjoy each day with them.
I am so glad we could here how your mum is doing .
I hope she gets all sorted and finds life a bit more easier.
Take care all of you x
Thank you for sharing all your very personal details. I hope the availability of your meds happens soon xxx Lesley xxx
My Labrador had ear problems most of his life costing me many hundreds £ at the vets and causing him pain and discomfort then I came across somethings so simple but complete game changer’s
#1 head torch why I never thought of it sooner I don’t know 🙄 but seeing what your doing crucial
#2 haemostats watching hundreds of dog groomers using them I got some for a few quid on Amazon
#3 green tea. It’s very soothing and anti fungal and anti bacterial let the tea bag steep so it’s nice and strong and cool to blood temp then use cotton wool to get plenty in the ear using the haemostats to get very carefully into all the nooks and crannies. Don’t go in too far then use dry cotton wool to get as much of the wet out as possible
#canastan cream use ordinary over the counter Canastan cream on the outer part of the ear flap. I used to use a q tip to get it in the nooks & crannies
Changing to cleaning / treating his ears like this completely fixed a lifetime of torment for him.
I can’t tell you how many vets we’d seen over the years that had cost a fortune both in consultation fees and prescription ointments and tablets
I can’t remember how many ear washes it took but each time less and less gunk was coming out until they were completely clean and no more was needed and times between cleaning had got longer and longer until it was let’s just give them a clean to see how they’re doing and the torment was over
We sadly lost him last year but at least he had happy ears his last year or two
The green tea / canastan I learned from an online vet btw.
X
Oh my lord 54 this year am my one wish I life would be a nights sleep 😴 I’ve got one of those pillows they are great 👍🏻 yes I agree the menopause not much fun 😏 good luck 🙏🏻
Sending you best wishes 💕
I’ve been so lucky with my menopause it was just a matter if my monthly’s stopping they didn’t even slow down they just stopped. It’s been 4 years now and I’m 55, the only symptom I had was the odd hot flush but I don’t get them now.
That pillow looked great just what I’m looking for, I wake up with neck pain every morning as i need to lie flat but not too flat. I lie on my side as I have bad hips, degenerative osteoarthritis and use a cushion between my knees to ease pain. I’ll look into those pillows. Lovely to have a catch up. Xxxx
I am so glad you are going to try HRT, I hope it helps you the way it has helped me. Ii was v cynical and I have been blown away, after 6 years of no sleep, I am sleeping again, the brain fog is soooo much better and I can form sentences again 😉 Fingers crossed you can fill your prescription soon x
Hoping you get your HRT…and mum uses her scooter….dogs are beautiful 😍.
Oh bless, hope your Mum gets used to her scooter xx
Roll on Summer
Just went through the agony of my child having to put his dog down…so horrible to go through…..even for your grand doggy! Glad mum is doing well, wish we saw more of her, thanks for the update🥰❤️🇨🇦
Thanks very much for the updates Carla - hope you get things sorted sooner rather than later - HRT, knee scan and eye exam/glasses. Lots going on. Hope your Mum embraces her inner Evil Knievel and gets on her mobility scooter. The freedom and independence could do her the world of good❣️
Hi Carla hope you are well I watch you all the time you asked about a washing machine cleaner I was like you tried everything until a friend suggested soda crystals you put them in the drum and set at a hot wash and it cleans the drum and all the pipes mine actually stunk when was emptying not nice ha but it really does work I do it about every couple months now and seems to be doing the trick hope this works for you and keep up the good work thankyou Tracey from Lincolnshire
Hello Carla, thanks for the update. Hope all goes well with your up coming knee appointments, It does take so long to get these things sorted.! Please give your Mum a big hello from Australia, I will try and send her some warmer weather,!. Your gorgeous fur babies could not have found a more loving family to be with, may you have lots of happy times together at there favourite park. I love the vlogs at the "gate" . Stay safe. ❤❤❤
I’m 45 in June and have been on HRT for nearly a year and can confirm it helps with the insomnia. I need to up my dose as the itching and memory fog is getting worse. Hope you see some improvement xx
I’ve recently started HRT at 51 and it has been a lifesaver. I would urge you Carla and anyone else going through this to watch the 2 menopause documentaries that Davina McCall has made, you’ll find them on the More 4 catch up channel - very informative and interesting 😊
Bless your Fluffums
Two beautiful dogs
My Chihuahua is now 22 years old,and although in pretty good health,but has some dementia
I love her so much and know I’ll be heartbroken when she passes
It’s hard
Animals are the best
Great chat carla 👍 I'm 44 and just grin and bear it awful 😖 I don't wanna go to doctors mind you I wouldn't be able to get in even if I wanted to 🙄flipin heck you made me 🥺when talkin about pets
Carla...... If you go low carb it will stop your sugar and refined consumption addiction .... It will also rectify your inflammation in your joints and hormonal imbalances....
I can tell you from my own experiences that I have rid myself od diabetes, excess weight and high blood pressure, inflammation......... I am like a new person.
Calorie counting won't work where carbs and sugars are I clouded because they spike your insulin that promotes holding onto fat and inflammation in the body... Leading to worse things.
I know you don't like opinions but this is truth.... What you put into your body is what you get out of it 🙏
Oh Carla iþs like ur my clone, I have exactly same problems with my weight exactly the same attitude, plus really bad right knee, have to stand for a minute before I fall flat on my face xxxx
Well done
Regarding your seasonal disorder, I gather it can be because of low vitamin D. I take a daily supplement of 5000 international units which has 100mg vitamin K2 in it. It’s also supposed to be good for your bones and for the immune system. It might be worth a try if you’re not taking it already.
You can headaches with menopause
10 years of hell and no medication whatsoever due to living overseas without free healthcare, having to see private doctors who want to sell you crazy expensive drugs, so I went without. I can honestly say I have lost a decade of my life to this monster called menopause. I was just 50 when I started, I’m turning 60 in 2 months.
Will look up the pillow👍🏻My dad was same as your mum. Me & husband both work full time & spent weekends getting all the oldies out...then i had a stroke, its very short sighted of councils reducing bus services🤷♀️. On the glasses i use a lower prescription lens better than varifocals, but you will need your full prescription ones to drive in, hope all gets sorted🤞
Hi Carla I've been putting off H.R.T I've been taking menopause supplements which seemed to have helped and vitamin d and b12. Magnesium is good for sleep I've read.
That knee has been painful for some time. As for eyes, such a relief to know nothing more serious. As a glasses wearer I appreciate we're never going to have perfect solutions.
🤩 great chat Carla, love to your Mam, ❤️
Dear Carla, I love how you love your dogs and make a good life for them as they age. It makes me so mad when some people surrender their dogs just because they can’t handle the End of Life stuff
I agree about the cervical spine (neck) having nothing to do with the cervix, so why name it that, I don’t know!!
Your health issues remind me of me, a few (hah!) years ago. I have two fake knees and a fake hip and believe me, it changes your world when you can stand and walk for more than a few minutes without pain. Yes, people will preach about your weight, but that doesn’t change your need. In fact, now that I have less pain I can get around more and it helps with the weight… just the Circle of Life!!
Something that has helped my sleep is a CPAP machine. As soon as I started using it, I regained that deep restful sleep that helps everything. Have you had a sleep study? You described how you snore when you are on your back, and that is a red flag for sleep apnea.
Thank you for sharing so openly. Sometimes it helps others who are going through the same things. I look forward to your posts!
That’s a shame about the buses near your mum. I think it’s the same everywhere that bus routes and frequencies are being cut making them difficult to use. Does Bristol have a dial and ride service she could use?
❤️
Is the pillows expensive Carla
Hello bells that was like listening to the problems of me and mine . Haha The bus or lack of ( Dundee Council take note ) hinders me too , my husbands painful knee problem ( after an emergency doctors appointment that took 10 days ) miraculously has received a hospital appointment fairly quickly 😀 hope the same happens for you 👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lynn here on Hubby's phone 😏, Hi Carla , Honestly I swear to God , you Kazza and me have the same bodies , what with diet ,knees , the change and the likes were Living the dream all three of us aren't we , has for your mum and the scooter , tell her to go for it , I swear she will never look back , I really struggled after I had a op in my fourties which didn't go to plan shall we say , I fort the pain for two years before I decided to us a scooter , it gives you back some life , I'd still be sat in the house all the time twelve years later , yes she should definitely be brave and go for it , what I did was have a go in an empty car park till I got used to it and then they'll be no stopping her , she'll love it you see 🤗, as for your dogs , I've been through that too a few times it's heart breaking , but I'm still glad I had time together with them , it's so special your bond with your dog , I wish I could have another , but with my Arthritis now it's very hard , I prey you still have quite a while with them yet , Take Care Carla Love and remember your you tube friends are here for you , you mean a lot to a lot of people, I wish you well 🤞 xx
Well I’m sorry! But you look the picture of health!😂😂😂🥰You would never know to look at you, that you was going through it all. But I do think, if you look ok(make up and hair looks good👍) you are giving out that vibe you are ok to everybody🙏🏻I think you will feel a lot better and you can convince yourself aswel as other people that you are doing great, you do just get on with it🙏🏻 I’m the same, stomach problems, tendons in the top of my arm is crap!! , but when people ask how you are you just say fine and you keep on smiling😁 Tomorrow is another day in paradise. God willing🙏🏻😇😎🐥💐🍷
HRT is a life savour.But you need to decide ,I am sure you have read up on it .I went on it but when it came to my daughter she has decided the homeopathic route is her choice ,so we are all different .
Get onto the list to get your knee done ,it’s a life savour ,it’s all done through a physio now but hype it up if necessary ,I have had both done .
Hope your Mum finds the courage to get onto her scooter it will open up some independence for her.
It made me quite sad when you were talking about Buddy and Kyle ,it’s horrible thinking you might loose them ,but not for a while I hope ,it’s the worst kind of hurt.But you know that .
Hope you have a good week🤗
❤❤❤
Hi Carla not sure if this would be helpful for your mom but years ago my elderly mother-in-law was in hospital for a period of time. When she came out she had lost her confidence using her mobility scooter because she had not used it for a month. So what we decided was that I would go to her place and walk alongside her a couple of times just to boost her confidence using her scooter again. It worked like a charm, perhaps your mom might like you or one of her grandkids to do the same? Anyhow just thought it was worth a mention.
We've been doing that now for two weeks - she still won't take it out on her own.
Hi Carla see if mum got bit of like bit of grass by hers not to busy and have practice I used one fir years I have spina bifida im unable to get in one now so I been given electric wheelchair which is easier than scooter for me tell mu. It gives so much freedom go for coffee when I like go look round home bargains my nemesis too I should be banned never want much in there one full carry bag after maybe last of two items I wouldn't be without it my independence I don't get out much else so my coffee and going see girls in Iceland who work there just have sone human contact other than my darling dog who like your two is now 15 blind in one eye and got arthritis and few other problems getting bit like his mum really im like you I can't think bout it without tearing up any way good luck to mum with her scooter hope everything gets sorted with you hunni snd big hugs to the dogs and xxx
Please go back to your GP they should be able to prescribe a similar HRT that is available.
Hi Carla you should feel like a new woman after you get your HRT worked out. I’m on it but unfortunately it doesn’t help me with my sleeping x
❤❤❤
