Am I going crazy?!
« on: September 08, 2024, 09:18:59 PM »

Hi everyone- first post & finding all the posts very insightful!
I'm 54 and been on HRT for 3 years. The last 5 weeks have been horrendous which started with a shooting pain in my temple and across my face. I've had a pretty constant headache plus I've been able to watch paint dry (utter ambivalence), have internal tremors, total brain fog & a discombobulated floating sensation - all of these symptoms last all day but tend to increase as the day goes on. Then it all starts again the following day.
I'm on 6 pumps of estrogel and 1 progesterone - but they changed my progesterone brand at the same time they changed my Gabapentin brand and it all seems to have coincided with these symptoms.
Blood tests are normal so I'm wondering if anyone has any clues as to what's going on or has similar symptoms.
I can't work or get through a day without anxiety - yet I'm generally a capable person. I've just fallen apart this last 5 weeks and see no light...
Many thanks! Sheena

so sorry about those symptoms.  Demoralising.  Hopefully some1 will be along with advice.  Personally I'm struggling currently so not a lot of good to any1.
