Grouchy Old Men (and Women)
Feeling grouchy? A dictionary will tell you that grouchiness is being grumpy
, peevish, tending to complain or grumble. Readiness to show annoyance or impatience.
Nobody wants to be around a grouch. But sometimes feeling moody and snapping at anyone nearby is just not something that one feels he or she can control. It is a mystery why one feels irritable and unhappy. Many would tell you it's all in your head. Psychologists and psychiatrists would prescribe a pharmacopoeia of drugs, most of which just make you dull and wooden.
But what really turns a decent person into a bear of a grouch? There is a physiological reason based on hormonal imbalance. The underlying cause may be fatigue. But it can also be the sudden shifts in hormonal balance so characteristic to the aging process that causes drastic mood changes in both men and women. And hormonal imbalance may be the cause of fatigue.
You haven't lost your mind. Drugs only mask the problem and do not resolve it. Take heart that there is a new medical procedure that can re-balance the body's hormones and restore good mood and good health.
A handy prescription for testosterone (for men) and estrogen and progesterone (for women) will not do the trick. There are many hormones in the body that interact with each other, so just replacing one or two is usually not effective. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy replaces all the dwindling hormones with hormones that are exactly the same as the ones that are missing.
Often doctors use hormone replacements that are not bio-identical, most famously estrogen from pregnant mare urine. But a new group of doctors who have studied alternative medicine developed in Europe, are using bio-identical hormones and are getting terrific responses from patients.
A patient suffering from these symptoms mentioned in this article should seek a doctor who will administer bio-identical hormone replacement. First the doctor will interview the patient to determine all the symptoms. Then he will order lab tests to determine the levels of hormones currently in the body. There can be other symptoms besides grouchiness caused by hormone deficiencies - unwanted weight gain, muscle loss, low sex drive and hair loss are a few of them.
When the doctor knows exactly what hormones need to be replaced and in what amounts, he will begin a program to gradiently administer bio-identical hormones to bring them up to the level a person had as a youth. The gradual introduction of hormones prevents the body from being shocked with a sudden incursion of hormones.
You can be a happy, and more healthy individual again. You do not have to feel tired and grouchy. Recent medical studies assure that bio-identical hormone replacement therapy works wonders.
