i am 56 years old, have never had any children, live with my husband earl and we both love to travel. i have had problems with menopause since i was 49 and i have a period every three months on average. lately, i am bloated and my boobs are tender and i have gained weight and i have acne. could this be related to my menopause or is there aslight possibility i may have conceived?

What is the best natural treatment for acne? I’ve read about certain all natural treatments for acne, but do they really work? I’d prefer an all natural treatment because prescription acne products irritate my skin. Also, where would I go about purchasing an this all natural acne treatment product?

my acne isent realy bad but id rather nto have it on my face ya know. i just wanna know if anyone knows simple things i can get to help my face with out useing a bunch of chemicals. BESIDES PROACTIVE OR CLEAN N CLEAR cause i know neather of them work i used proactive for more then a year and it made it worser then it was clean and clear just dryed my skin and did nothing for my acne

like i’m curious- i’ve dealt with pretty bad acne and minor vitiligo for 9 years- i don’t have bad vitiligo, but i do break out constantly on my face, neck, chest, and back- i’ve tried everything imaginable proactiv, differin gel, antibiotics- i’ve had numerous dermatologists for my acne, and yet alone for my vitiligo- my vitiligo hasn’t spread- its on my face though- the marks look like birthmarks- and i have acne- i figure the acne is something i have to grow out of because my mom had it really bad, and now she barely has it- only a little now because of her menopause- i am 22 btw-
my acne does get better as i age-
btw- the vitiligo it runs on my mom and dad’s side of the family- my aunt has it, and my great grandma had it- we both got it from how our skin suffered from trauma-
so i am wondering- why spiritual people think we are suffering for having it- when in actuality- it has made me a stronger, wiser, more spiritual person- it lead me on the right path- and helped me realize who my real friends were, and who my real friends aren’t…what family loves me for me, and what family doesn’t…i did suffer with dealing with my skin issues for a while, i cried a lot, suffered from years of not having friends, i used to cut myself, pull out my hair, and i tried to kill myself a few times, but i have overcome this heartache of having it, and i kind of just deal…
a lot of spiritual people believe this- it is not me…and if a lot of spiritual people did not believe this i wouldn't ask this question- duh…
look i prayed and prayed about it- and it hasn't gone away- this is no generational curse- i should not have to suffer for some person's sins…it was meant to be like this- and i have to deal…plan and simple…and i don't feel cursed what so ever…
i don't think the people who believe they are curses are crazy- i just don't think i personally was cursed- i think things happen for a reason, and i haven't done anything to be cursed…

Something that you have tried that worked for you. Also, something that would completely get rid of them. I have heard castor oil, lemon juice, aloe vera gel. Do they really work?

I was supposed to be taking Yasmin BC, but decided against it when I got the script filled. Since then (Jan09), I have had terrible mood swings, acne, thoughts of death and dying, and stress/anxiety. I also have a 2 1/2 yo and 4 month old. So, this past week, I was diagnosed with having panic attacks and stress/anxiety disorder, as well as having had PPD after my baby. And after ALL that, I still haven't gotten my period. Now I have been taking menopause supplements for my acne and mood swings (its a herbal hormone balancer from GNC). I don't know if the supps with stress are prohibiting my period, but now I'm very GLAD I didn't take the BCP because it may have whacked out my body even further. I do not take the supplements regularly - I take them every other day. Could it be the stress? I have had sex with my fiance, but he says he hasn't "slipped up" so he has no reason to think I am. Also, I didn't preg with either of my kids until I tried BCP and then had to stop for one reason or another. THAT'S when I got preggo, when I stopped the BCP. Please help - I really don't want to go to my dr without some reason why I am still waiting for my period. I think it is the stress, but who knows.

LMP - 2/14 (They were coming every 26 days since Dec 08, but I have never been regular in my life before my last son, so I'm going to chuck it to that…)
Panic Attacks / Anxiety Disorder - Left Chest stabbing pains; heart pounding, sweating sometimes; trouble catching breath; lasts about 45-60 seconds I think. Started with 1st son's preg in Jan06.

Please help with anything you possibly can - Thanks…
I also got an x-ray yesterday, but if I am pregnant, I won't be continuing the pregnancy.
