She has stopped posting in May. I've read her posts, she's in her early 50's, so, like you, she could still be perimenopausal and her own fluctuating hormones could be causing her mental issues. It's very complex, Dandelion, you just can't jump to conclusions based on someone else's experiences. Knowledge based on personal experience and quoting loads of articles is not necessarily the truth, especially YOUR truth, since this is a relative concept.

Yes, Valium could have 'messed up your whole CNS', but that is something you are already addressing by tapering off it. Focus on what you can do regarding irregular bleeding, then you can tackle the other stressors.

I only gave you two posts. As she is on another forum I did not want to reveal her username. She has posted loads. The other stressors are non medical, and need other people to help solve, people who are either unwilling or unable.

Regarding Besins, I don't think they are being difficult, I think they have misinterpreted my enquiry. I haven't asked for any medical information related to benzos. I have just asked for references that show evidence of an interaction between Utro and Diazepam regarding irregular bleeding. I suspect it's anecdotal evidence from patients reports, so they can't point me to any references in scientific literature.

I just think regarding Besins, as the manufacturer, they may not know for sure interactions, they may not want to give info out that they are unsure of.
Diazepam is dangerous and toxic full stop.
If I had never bothered with diaz, I would be currently on my way off HRT, I used to need 100mcg oestrogen, I only use 50 now, things would be so much easier.

No Dandelion, I'm not referring to those posts. I've registered on the forum and I've read almost all of her posts. I've noticed she's clued up in science but as I said before, this doesn't mean anything when the subject is still controversial amongst scientists that publish in this specific topic.

As for other stressors that can't be solved right now, well, what can't be solved, is solved. Saying you have other stressors is okay (we all have our share of sand kicked in our face) but it's not pertinent to this discussion, unless you think this can be causing irregular bleeding, in that case you need your psychiatrist assistance.

I agree, but thinking of the past won't help you. You are already getting rid of Valium, albeit it's a slow process, so you're doing the right thing.

I didn't realise you were registered on the forum, sorry.
Thank you for reading all those posts.
It's the fact that science is still controversial and there are so many unknowns that scares me.
What can't be solved is solved, these problems are related to my living situation, can't say much on public forum.
I am producing a lot of coritisol another dangerous steroid.

[Uptick]

It's alright, I haven't told you 

Yes, these problems can mess up with our CNS as well, and our adrenals. Life is not easy. Have you tried psychotherapy?

I was turned down for it.
See, cortisol is dangerous I/ feel like I am stuffed.

Cortisol is not dangerous, it's a hormone necessary for a lot of functions, helping us survive dangerous episodes, modulating the immune system and keeping us alert. Chronic long term high or low cortisol levels can be dangerous and there are specific conditions that can cause this and can be treated.

Turned down for psychotherapy? Why? How?

I'm producing wayyyyy too much. Chronic long term over production of coritsol - tick = dangerous.
I am in danger my CNS is stuffed

[Uptick]

Sorry, my broadband is playing up and my mobile connection is rubbish.

No way your producing way too much, you would have other more noticeable symptoms. Chronic long term overproduction is subtle and not a medical condition and is not dangerous. Have you had a cortisol test? Unless you have consistent high levels results, you can't say they're high because cortisol fluctuates as part of its normal functions (just as my mobile connection, apparently).

Bye, I'll catch up later when I get home. Just try to relax, there are many good techniques, yoga, tai chi, meditation, mindfulness, breathing exercises.

I've got MAJOR problems that could affect generations of other people, sorry I cant post publicly.
Other people involved are either unable or unwilling to help solve them, that is if they are solvable.
They have been going on years.
Exactly, overproduction of cortisol is subtle, I sleep badly considering the huge sedation I am on.
I lost six stones in weight.
No cortisol test.
I'm past all the techniques I would have tried prior to these serious err0rs I made, they do no good.
Intrusive thoughts just intrude.
I am a burden and a liability

I wrote to Dr Currie on Sunday after being given the go-ahead after making my payment.
It says to wait a couple of days then contact the web master.
The web master has forwarded my email onto Dr Currie.
I think I know the reason for the delay.
Emails have bounced back from the contact address she has and she has had to email me from another address.
