Hey Kat..thats weird. I just wrote that i'm sorry you're not getting any help there. Are you thinking you have something more serious, not related to the pill? Wasn't sure how you meant that. My main symptoms are head and bladder, once in awhile stomach. When i relapse which is pretty often still, my emotions are all over the damn place!! It still is much less severe but I notice the depression can get bad..anxiety is pretty much gone. Most bothersome is def physical stuff...intuitively i know every weird, crazy thing i get is just another thing that will eventually go away. I do have moments where i feel it is taking much too long but i realize..I am doing much better than i was so there is improvements...hoping in time i will feel more and more like Kelly..keep me posted xo Very Happy

Yes, I did that too----blood and saliva testing with both conventional and alternative doctors. They're telling me I'm just ducky! They tested everything from FSH to TSH. The one fellow who wanted to administer pellet therapy said I was low on testosterone, but apparently this has not helped me. I took it by creme, not pellet, because I was scared that if it was not right for me, the pellet would stay inside for as long as 3 months and I could not stop the process at will. One alternative physician gave me a sample of D-10 and a sample of Formula A (progesterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, and DIM), but they made me feel much worse, and brought back the pins and needles all over my body many times per day, which I thought I was through with. Very scary.

Hi Kelly,

I'm very worried because things got dramatically worse very suddenly and it's just not getting better. I used to feel so much better after ovulation but this last cycle has been total hell from the beginning pretty much non-stop. And I really mean hell! I still think it's hormonal and that's why I'm aiming for endo doctor first but I just need either to know what exactly is wrong (I'm very analytical person but I'm driving myself to insanity trying to figure it out but whether I like it or not - I'm just guessing) or confirmation there is nothing seriously wrong.
It's been almost 16 months but I feel like during the 3-4th month off. I'm so frustrated and discouraged I cannot even tell you. Things are getting worse for me and I just feel I don't know what to do.

Aww Kat so sorry!! I was relapsing really bad around 16 mths too. Perhaps it's just a really bad relapse..i never got that sick first coming off my worst mths were like the 8th and 9th..so it seems different for everyone. I hope you can get some answers, just feel like when its hormone related alot of it is sort of a mystery. Not sure many of us have gotten concrete answers. I'm 20 mths off and was in bed most of last wk so it still can hit me bad..hope it starts easing up, keep me posted xo
