From Newton, NC: My period stopped in 1987 when I was 38. Since them I been plagued with periodic general back pain with no apparant cause, extreme headaches which come either randomly or with seasonal changes or location changes but no pattern, complete lack of sex drive to the point of revoltion, leg pain with no apparent cause or reason.
Could these all be related to chemical imbalance?

Dr. Roby: Thank you for sharing your problem with us. Your question about chemical imbalance is a logical one, but I would suggest that it is much more probable that it is a hormone imbalance. Everyone knows about puberty and menopause. Very few of us stop to think about what happens in between those two milestones. The body doesn’t just sit there waiting for the next big jump, there are little changes going on all of the time. By the time we are in the late twenties, we begin to feel some of the changes. They are more noticeable through the thirties, and certainly by age forty, or so, we know that we are getting…older! As the sex hormones begin to diminish, lots of things begin to happen with us. Before I go on with this, I’m going to ask that you go to the website: www.drroby.com, and read these three sections, in the order given. 1) Hormone Imbalance/Allergy. 2) Food Allergy. 3) Airborne allergy. These are very closely related, and because Dr. Roby has conducted so many studies on how they work together, we know that by treating hormone imbalance and allergist at the same time, we can achieve optimum response in a much shorter time than previously thought.

Once you have finished reading these sections, you will have a better idea about what is really going on in your body, and what we can help you to do, to correct the problems, and lead a healthier, happier, more pain-free lifestyle. I know that you will find the answers to many of your questions on the website.
