Currently, I am taking the natural estrogen E1 E2 and E3 and natural progestrone. I am extremely drug sensative and have had a side effect to everything, even the natural progestrone. I had severe itching with 100 mg. So now the doctor has resorted to giving me a pill with the estrogens and a little bit of testostrone along with estrogen cream and progestrone cream. He is doing this so that I can experiment with different dosages so that I hopefully can formulate the right mg for my own body. > >With just the pills, I have severe hot flashes. So then I try the pills and progestrone, same thing, bad hot flashes. I added the estrogen cream and the hot flashed vanished. > >My problem is that now I am very moody (can cry very easily), my sides hurt (where the surgery incisions were made). The doctor warned me that taking the estrogen can bring back my endrometrosis. So of course when my insides hurt, I am a little frightened. (Also, I had a severe case of scar tissue along with the endrometrosis) > >For about 3 weeks I did not take any pills what-so-ever and I felt fine, no hot flashes. The only bad thing that happened was that my face broke out in pimples really bad and that I was dizzy. > >So now, that I am on these pills, I feel yucky. Is this a normal experience for women who have had this disease? Is it really just the 'right' formula of drugs? > >Why the depression with these drugs? I feel so bad calling the doctor all the time, which of course I do. And these side effects don't help. Anybody else like this? What did they do to curve this problem? > >I do take a soy drink at least once every two days. I also take bee pollen, multi vitamin, boron, zinc, and calcium when I take my drinks. > >Also, I heard that your sexual experience should not change after a hysterectomy. If it did change, is it then in a persons head or is it real? How does one take care of this? > >Thank you for any assistance. I would like to try to find the answer on my own or at least be a little more educated before I call my doctor again. >Cherie
