I will make this relatively short.. I don't want to overwhelm with info. The gist is I have been dealing with horrendous (worst part of the illness.. ) PMDD/ general hormonal imbalance pretty much since I got sick.
I had a recent improvement when I started cortef (a few months ago) however that seems to have "worn off".. and I am now as bad as ever. My symptoms are:
-depression/ crying all day
-irritable, agitated.. insanely "wired" yet still tired.. feels like im going to explode.. bad.
-skin breaking out...
so pretty much the usual stuff you see under "estrogen dominance" or "pms" symptoms.. but day after day starts to feel like im losing my mind.
I have tried pretty much everything out there.. progesterone cream, oral progesterone, DIM, indol 3 carbinol, herbs, homeopathy... and im on a low low sugar diet. the only thing i have found that helps as a band aid solution to take the edge off is xanax. but sometimes even that doesnt work.
Please any suggestions???!!! -- really anything. short term solution, band aid, i dont care something to help in any way.
thank you
