progesterone - effect on nervous system and sulphation

August 23, 2011

I've been reading over some of the old posts about using progesterone. We are

currently following yasko and progesterone cream is one of the recommendations

for DS genetics.

This has opened a real can of worms for me. I have realised that most of my

monthly cycle symptons are due to lack of progesterone due to my age as this

decreases over 35 - very heavy periods, exhaustion, extreme PMS. I never used

to have any of this. Even more interesting I am now suffering horrible restless

leg type feelings but its throughout my body - everything is hypersensitive.

If my son has similar feelings to this I can totally see why this may cause some

of his hypersensitive behaviours. My legs are driving me mad, I can't stand

anything on them and I can't keep them still. I can't sleep yet I'm exhausted.

My eyes hurt and keep twitching and even my teeth hurt (maybe this is why he

hates his teeth been brushed). As a baby/toddler I thought he had ADHD but he

was more in distress than hyperactive - I knew there was something wrong with

his nervous system.

We did a very strict feingold diet with fantastic results. This confirmed he

reacted to salicylates (assuming due to fact they have natural preservative),

additives especially preservatives all medication. Nutritionist said she

thought there was a problem with sulphation.

We used houstons no fenol with amazing results - it was only then Charlie

started to babble, play and take interest in outside world. I then learned that

no fenol help by taking load of sulphation.

I have recently been looking at all this again to learn that progesterone is

hugely indication in the nervous system, can help with seizures (if progesterone

is low), help remylination and SULT 1A1 expression is regulation by pregesterone

(this is sulphation gene)!!!!

Has anyone else had similar experience to this. What are experiences of using

progesterone cream. I'm very wary about using in a 3 year old. I might speak

to Dr Goyal to see if there is a hormone profile that can be run.
