Title: Here we go again!!!!
Post by: KSB on June 24, 2018, 03:27:04 PM

So here I am again after a good couple of months of feeling like I was finally coping the past week I have had the doom again. Period came Monday (I am on hrt which gives me this) and stopped the oestregen/progesterone combo Sunday. Oestregen only from Monday and period arrived. Since last Sunday I've had a full week of full on irritability tension headache feeling sick sore hips insomnia and flat as a scone mood to the point of feeling panicky again. Fully disappointing since I was really feeling that I was getting somewhere after 16 months of these symptoms) but 4 years of milder symptoms. Just when you think you're getting somewhere boom it jolts you almost
 back to the start grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

Hello KSB.


I'm so sorry that you are suffering and I hope you'll forgive me but your post really cheered me up!

Unfortunately I have been having a very similar experience and I am so relieved to learn that I am not alone (  I know we say that a lot on this site but it really helps to  have confirmation that I am not some kind of hormonal freak lol).

My situation is slightly different in that I've only had intermittent relief in the form of good and bad spells through the day however last month I enjoyed seven days straight of feeling calm and normal so I dared to hope that this nightmare was drawing to a close. Well, you can guess how that panned out lol! My days lately have featured immense irritability,  scary low mood, bit of nausea and that old favourite, irrational panic.

I am about to start yet another HRT regime and I'm praying it works because I am heartily sick of this rollercoaster ride.

I wish I could be of more help but I do sympathise, this time of life certainly tries your patience.

Wishing you well and take care.

K.
