Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Hi, Just wondering why the birth control pill would be considered bad for people with chiari. I'm menopausal and on an estrogen/progesterone patch and the leveling of my hormones has seemed to help me with imbalance.... any thoughts?

For me it seems to be the progesterone part that causes problems (the patches I used were 4 oestrogen followed by 4 oestrogen & progesterone combined), also all my symptoms get worse just before and during the start of a period..... shirleycatuk see my cat pictures at http://communities.msn.co.uk/Friendsfamilyandfelines2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
