Yes, agree. I always refer to it as going through a phase, it does come to an end. With the ageing process you will find that you go from one phase to another with whatever the body decides to hit you with, but each phase ends.

Ok. I guess that is helpful. The true 'hormonal' stuff I can see might be a phase. It's certainly getting worse.

But the horrific illness I get triggered by my cycle or any additional / removal of hormones seems different. It's the most horrific poison. And ive now had it 8 whole years. Only settling occasionally on contraceptive pills. That's some long phase  :(

Ladies.

I'm on one of the worst months ever. I'm back to feeling like I'd rather be dead than continue like this.

What do I do?

I was meant to be stabalising on nothing. No new hormones, no ADs etc. Yet only 4.5 weeks I to that and the last 4 weeks have been some of my worst.

Do I:

A) continue doing nothing and see what happens once this month ends? I do feel very periody - so I might bleed through cerazette again.

B) Raise cerazette some again. I started this stint on double dose and it did supress LH, FSH and estrogen - but I developed excruciating joint and muscular pain. That pain has only just lifted (quite interesting coincidence considering the month I am having - I expect E is surging)

C) try a combined pill again. It'll just be carnage, I know it will. I get so many reactive symptoms to changes - severe stomach pain, severe nose pressure and headaches - MCAS possibly. Both gone whilst not trying anything new. And the pills never fully controlled my symptoms before.

Seriously, I'm at my wits end.

I fail to see how it is normal to feel so ill that Id rather be dead.  :( but no medic can help me it seems.  >:(

My GP suggested adding in mirena  :o or COC.  ???
