I've been on Atkins since March and have lost almost 60 pounds. But, it's really playing games with my period. I'm also going through menopause so that doesn't help. I've had my period 3 times in the last 4 weeks and when I have it, I get panic attacks and just feel terrible. I'm so tired all the time too. I'm on hormone replacement therapy which helped for awhile but now it's all coming back. My dr. is out of town until the 21st so I guess I just have to hang in there. Anyone else have these problems? Doesn't seem fair that women have to go through so much!

Tiashanty,

The Womens Forum (at the end of the forum list) is loaded with the same kind of stories as yours. I have found it rather helpful, although we each seem to react to the change in our hormone levels differently. I am a scientist and I hope that someone does the research to figure out why low-carbing has such drastic effects on some of us women!

Panic attacks are pretty common when your on your monthly...at least they always have been for me. Its just all the hormon changes. I think of my monthly to a roller coaster....up up up...down down down....and just as fast too.
