2 1/2 years later, bio-identical hormones stopped working

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

It has been a long time since I addressed this forum, but I am very

glad you all are still here! I, myself, used to moderate a yahoo

group about bio-identical hormones and thought that they were the

answers to my menopausal problems, but of late, I am wondering what

is going on. Up until 8 months ago, everything was great.

Then in January of this year, I started having problems sleeping.

That was the only problem, but it certainly was annoying. I tried

all of the herbs and normal techniques for insomnia with no luck.

Then I started noticing that when I woke up at night, I was feeling

a little like I had a hot flash. That got my attention and I went

to get a blood test. Sure enough, my estrogen was in the 20s as

were the rest of my hormones. To make a long story short, my doc

and I have tried several iterations of hormone changes over the last

few months, and nothing has worked. I also did a liver cleanse. My

body has simply decided to flush the hormones after a few hours

(less than 6). This seems to be getting worse with time. I am now

applying my normal dose of hormones divided over 4 times a day, but

I can tell that even this is becoming less effective too. It is as

if my body decided it no longer wants to use bio-identical hormones.

I was wondering if this group had heard of this before. I spoke

with a friend who also started b-i-h about the same time I did. She

is having the exact same problems! Yikes! I don't want a go thru

this again! The first time was bad enough!

Please let me know if this subject has come up before. Any ideas are

appreciated!

Thanks,

-Lee
