This is from a woman who on an over dose of Progestern had days when I didn't even want to be with myself let alone in a room with any one else. You need a caring woman doctor who will help replace your lost hormones with just the amounts that you need to begin to feel normal.Ībove all remember that only you can know when you feel normal. All of our bodies are differnent and we have different levels of hormones that decrease at different rates. For example my 51 year old ObGyn woman doctor had me taking 1/4 to even 1/8 of progestrin on just certain days of the month, and estrogen every day. This may mean taking the two different hormones in HRT in various doses on various days. Your hormones are out of balance and you need to get them in balance again. I sorry men but you just don't have a clue what a woman is feeling. I hope I can give you some insite from a retired bookkeepers point of view.įind a ObGyn who is a woman over 50 if at all possible. Andro is so right these are much worse than most and you need so medical help. I am so sorry that the symptoms are so bad. Please give me any suggestions you have, I'm at the end of my rope here and I don't know what to do. I went to see my GYN and told him everything but he just gave me Wellbutrin which wasn't helping so I quit taking it. I feel fat, bloated, ugly and most of all I feel OLD. I was always slim and even underweight in the past but now I have a this horrible pouch of fat in my belly which no amount of starving myself or exercise is getting rid of. Not to mention the smell! It is some different kind of sweat that smells so horrible I want to throw up. In the morning I'm soaked with sweat so bad my hair is dripping wet. I wake up several times during the night and sometimes can't go back to sleep again. I also take Black Cohosh but it isn't helping either. I'm still taking a low dose birth control pill (Femcon) but it isn't helping the night sweats anymore. My periods (if I have them at all) only last a day and its just spotting. I haven't felt this bad since puberty and come to think of it I haven't really felt "normal" for at least the past two years. I'm angry all the time and am so scared I'll lose my temper one day at work and get fired. Of course that isn't doing our relationship any good. I can't remember the last time we had sex - it's been months. And now my husband has said that he can't take it anymore and is going to leave me soon if something doesn't change. I'm always either on the verge or tears or screaming mad. The mood swings are so horrible I don't know what to do.
