> You breasts are sore? That's a giveaway. Sure
sounds like hormones to me, and progesterone
seems higher in proportion to estradiol. Are
you cycling normally? Are you currently on
birth control pills???????No--I'm not on any medication whatsoever...maybe it's just
early PMS...I have no idea....I think my mood swings might
be after I ovulate? It's never a clear cut pattern though, so
it's hard to say for sure...
So you think it sounds like I may have too much progesterone?What's the G.I.
stuff? Constipation or diarreah?
Kind of a weird combination of both. Like I said, I've always
been fine in that area until Zoloft screwed me up and I haven't
gotten back to normal since then.
Either one is blow to your health. It truly
sounds like you've got multiple health issues
going on that are contributing to neurological
insults. I truly know the frustration and
desperation you must be going through.
I know how utterly pissed off at life and
yourself you must be feeling.
Oh yes, yes, yes, baby. That is it. I feel like tearing my
hair out I'm so angry. I was on antidepressant meds
for 8 years before I stopped recently....maybe my whole system
is just screwed up and doesn't know what to do with itself now.
Or maybe some of these physical symptoms are just symptoms of
depression. I just don't know. Not knowing really is frustrating.But it's clear from what you've related that
you - are - ill!!! Maybe things will resolve
themselves, but in the meantime, get as
knowlegeable as you can on the subjects
that you intuitively feel you need to know.
I have been. I'm on the internet all the time researching
this stuff. I'm obsessed. I probably need to think about
it a little less in fact. I feel ill. Something aint right.
But it's a relatively new thing and it's connected to going
off ad's and being on the wrong ad's, I think. Or misdiagnosed
depression that's actually a hormonal thing. Oh yeah, I had
an ovary removed at 15. All doctors say that this shouldn't
make any difference in my hormonal stuff...that the other one just
takes over. My ovaries tend to produce cysts, but I don't have
the symptoms of polycystic ovary disease (or the high testosterone
levels...my testosterone levels are a little low...I figure that's from
being on ssri's for so long).More and more avenues and paths and answers
will become evident as you rebuild your health
and energy.I just have to have faith...that the right thing will come
to me if I keep my eyes and ears open....even this thread
has helped to look at yet another level.
