hey John,, i know what you mean about embarrassing, things we're just not supposed to talk about, let alone experience~!

are you taking meds for depression ? cause those can cause all kinds of changes in your metabolism. they don't work the same for everyone. otherwise, i'd suggest asking your doc about hormone replacement therapy~ docs often just slap on the first bandaid that comes to hand, and don't want to deal with the complexities of hormone replacement.

wish you the best of luck~
