HRT and LD

[Guest guest]

 

Hi Again

 

So I had a total hysterectomy in 2001 for stage 1 ovarian cancer and

Endometriosis. Then I had what I thought was a hard time with bioidentical HRT,

but now know it was the LD. I then had a doctor who gave me the up and coming

" pellets " of hormones implanted in my hip. He never 1 time in 5 years took my

hormone levels even though I kept asking. He said he didnt need to because they

would only release as much as my body needed. I had no money and no insurance to

go elsewhere so I trusted he knew what he was doing. The pellets were supposed

to last 4-6 months but I went in every month with what I though were menopause

symptoms. I now know they were Bart symptoms. He kept giving me more pellets

every month.

 

When I started having low thyroid symptoms and adrenal issues I begged him to

please draw all the specialty thyroid tests. He did and I was Hypo with reverse

T3 syndrome. Armed with this diagnosis I found a specialist and spent my life

saving seeing them for 3 years. They are the ones who missed the lyme diagnosis

even though they also see Lyme patients as Endocrinologists who specialize in

Bio Hormones/Endocrine and Auto Immune diseases. When they drew my hormone

levels my estrogen was 2,487 and normal range is 70-200. It took me 11 months to

crash off of all that estrogen and testosterone.

 

I was then terrified to take any hormones because when i did my head would hurt

and I felt like poison was running through my veins (It was the LD reacting to

it). So fast forward to today since my LD diagnosis. My LLND wanted me to take a

very small dose to help my body be more stable going thorugh this. So I got the

creams and I tried the tiny bit night before last and my Bart symptoms flared

real bad and I was terrified. Does anyone know if this might settle down as my

body adjusts to the chemical change? Will it make more bugs? I hear such

conflicting reports as to weather we need them or not. I had been HRT free for

18 months before this. Sorry so long I am just a little confused. Thank you for

any advice.
