Hey everyone
This is my first post and hope to cover everything. Guess I'm looking for some advice or ideas as my Dr is useless!
Started getting hormonal migraines 2-3 years ago after pms, bleed. Frovatriptans worked with 5-6 day migraines.
Then low mood kick in and feeling crazy, dull and just pretty miserable and became a super shouty, irrational mum!
Dr newson influenced me to try patches and mirena and this was a constant, low and stable dose and would remove hormone fluactions.
Always spotted intermittently but last 8 months this changed to heavy periods, PMS, cramping and then migraines almost 10 days to 28 days.
Have a US scan today. Referral to gynae for a lump. Found etroption.
Came across Lara Briden and just felt really off, like my oestrogen levels were too high maybe. Felt overly bloated and just not myself. Super sensitive to noise, brain fog as well.
Spoke to Dr who got advice from menopause clinic (only one in area and I'm outside of catchment area) they suggested Slynd for pms, migraines and moods as I was still ovulating
Decided to just come off patches - 25 evorel to see what was happening and I guess I felt maybe estrogen was too high.tjis was 2 weeks ago.
Dr suggested I came off straight away and didn't taper.
First week felt lighter, brighter, less sensitive in my head even with daily migraines. No bleeding.
But last few days mood swings crazy, low moods and starting to feel irrational and overwhelmed especially with ADHD kid.
I've asked Dr for progesterone only as I still want to track periods/ovulate as I haven't had any obvs low estrogen Symptoms like flashes/sweats but they have refused. So currently all I have is mirena. Not sure if I need to go on estrogen to even out moods and just cope with bloating. Also taking B2 and magnesium for migraines.
Any idea or advice or suggestions would be wonderful as I'm doing a lot of reading but getting stuck as drs aren't helping. Thanks so much for reading.
