Two weeks ago I found a doc for biointical hrt and he will prescribe a compounded prescription when blood work comes back. In the mean time he took me off the prempro and I'm seeing improvement in my tendonitis already. I am encouraged by your story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655191102964186342.post-66061486481049890442012-01-20T06:57:23.019-06:002012-01-20T06:57:23.019-06:00Thanks for that, I have fibromyalgia, use a strong...Thanks for that, I have fibromyalgia, use a strong natural progesterone cream long term and (think) I have just become perimenopausal - one of the symptoms being a dramatic worsening of my fibro symptoms. I too have wondered, at times, if the cream is helping or exacerbating so thanks for your thoughts.

My sleep seems to be getting worse, I've put on 6 lbs in 3 months in spite of being on a rigid eating program, I ache all over, have no energy in spite of forcing myself to walk every day for exercise. I recently found progesterone excess symptoms on the internet and have an appt with my DO next week. I want so much to feel good again. I'm had some figromyalgia symptoms in the past but it is the worst now that I've ever had.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09069946272179875487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655191102964186342.post-32951543265832786522010-08-21T13:36:21.431-05:002010-08-21T13:36:21.431-05:00Hi,
Just wanted to add this has happened to me an...Hi,<br /><br />Just wanted to add this has happened to me and ask how long it takes to go back to normal after stopping progesterone.<br /><br />I am 49, but was having normal cycles, when the obgyn had me fill out a questionairre regarding menopause symptoms. After that, I was prescribed approximately 200 mgs of progesterone per day and 2.25 biest (no units on bottle) per day.<br /><br />Within two months, my right hand started tingling. The third month, it began swelling. By the fourth month on BHRT I couldn't hold a pencil or type because it was swollen and painful. I went to my primary care doctor and told her I thought this was due to the progesterone and/or estrogen capsules. She said she'd never heard of that, but one way to tell would be to stop taking the pills. She also ran some blood work. I came back with a positive anitnuclear antibody test. I was shocked at that! I looked in my medical file and found blood work from one year ago and four years ago with negative antinuclear anibody tests. ANA antibodies are associated with connective tissue disease and lupus. I don't have either!!<br /><br />I've stopped the progesterone, and have been off of it for three weeks. The tingling has gone away, but I still have swelling and a small amount of numbness.<br /><br />Does anyone know how long it takes for your system to return to normal? I'm taking (weaning off of estrogen), hopefully I will not be using it next month. I found the estrogen cream helped reduce the hand symptoms the first weeks off of progesterone. <br /><br />Forgot to mention, my left hand became affected with the tingling and swelling, but not as severely as the right. <br /><br />How long does it take for the progesterone to leave your system completely?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Teresa<br /><br />Please excuse typos. Hands still slightly swollen. :)Teresa5https://www.blogger.com/profile/10579098008509153177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655191102964186342.post-90564430962375158082009-06-05T23:42:03.015-05:002009-06-05T23:42:03.015-05:00That is so weird!

I've had carpel tnnel developing in my wrists and never would have guessed the connection. Thanks for sharing this insight. <br /><br />KathieKathie Chiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336889047543366812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655191102964186342.post-57788202803692278862008-08-06T11:41:00.000-05:002008-08-06T11:41:00.000-05:00I am going through this right now.

It seems so easy for some women to start on 20 mg progesterone and do great, but they have been tweaking mine for six months and I am still imbalanced. I am having the all over achiness you descirbe, and also began suspecting fibro this week. Not sure if it is too much progesterone or too little. If I am like you, it may still be too much. I am on capsules, the equivalent of 15 mg cream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
