Re: Is perimenopause making my ms symptoms worse?

Hi Sharon, only short answer now as I am very sleepy. Yes, gestagen is a progesterone. Yes, it is synthetic for sure. Very bad news for me is that we still do not have any bio-identical progesterone/estrogen - simply NOTHING in Slovakia. I mentioned it to my gyno as well. She said no word. I am tryi...

Re: Is perimenopause making my ms symptoms worse?

Has your blood pressure been checked? Forty years ago birth control pills gave me terrible headaches, I thought my head would explode, so I stopped and the headaches stopped too, almost at once they began to recede so I'm certain the hormones were the problem. Just an experience with hormones. Vest...

Re: Is perimenopause making my ms symptoms worse?

Headaches and Estriol.
I started with 1 mg of Estriol for the first 6 days. Now I am the third day on 2 mg and suffer from strong headaches. I plan to take 4 mg daily.
Will I have these strong headaches all the time?

Re: Is perimenopause making my ms symptoms worse?

Hello Erika. Sorry, I misunderstood you. On another post (I can't find it now) you mentioned symptoms in your head, heat or congestion? This may yet be poor fluid circulation in the head which an upper back massage may relieve. Where can I find the other thread? I hope you are feeling better. Sorry...

Re: Is perimenopause making my ms symptoms worse?

Hello Erika, The cramps alone can cause all these MS symptoms. I always assumed my hormones were making me Dizzy and throwing me off balance, but I realize now that it's poor fluid circulation and congestion in the head at the root of the symptoms, and if I can get someone to release the shoulder t...

Re: Is perimenopause making my ms symptoms worse?

Hello Erika: Hormonal problems definitely have been a factor for my MS. I believe the menstrual cramps in themselves tense up the body so much that they cause the "blood reflux" (CCSVI). I used to think the heat was the factor, but now I believe it's the body tension pure and simple which...

Re: Erika`s procedure in Poland

Thanks L, thank you Cece! I am very weak and feel very bad. Especially the hot flashes are "boiling" my brain and I constantly feel to faint. I hope to solve the problem soon. I went 9 x to my gyno since January. She is only scared I get cancer from HRT and die. I have the symptoms since l...

Re: Is perimenopause making my ms symptoms worse?

Dear Sharon, thank you very much for your answer. I will send it to my gyno as she is waiting for some answers from this forum. I am sure women in menopause know that but I also have to say that my symptoms get worse after spicy food. I started with 1 mg of estriol because I had problems with estrad...

Re: Erika`s procedure in Poland

Dear ladies, I would like to ask you for an advice, please! I am 41 years old, no pregnancy, couple of years on progesterone - non stop - it means I do not get my period. (My MS was getting so much worse because of very painful period.) For about 3 months I have problems with hot flushes, sweating, ...

Lynn,
thanks for your answer!
I will try to post the same question to another thread. Maybe I get more answers.

Re: stents causing neck/shoulder pain

Hi Sunlounger! I´ve got one stent at Euromedic in November 2009. It is in my left jugular close to my clavicle bone - my valve was inverted. I never had pain in there. I am sorry for your troubles :sad: . I was better only the first 33 days. After the same as before the procedure and after 11 months...
